Happy Tuesday RotoBallers! Another solid slate in front of us, with the national TV double-header on TNT as a headliner. These articles focus on the overall best plays, which are typically more suited for cash games. However, some exceptions may apply, depending on the size of the slate.

DraftKings and FanDuel Guards - NBA DFS Lineup Picks

Steph Curry - PG, GS @ MIA ($9,600 DK, $10,00 FD)

The reigning Finals MVP went off in the Warriors' match-up with the Heat last week. He posted his second-highest total of DK points on the year (59.25) and had a season-high in 3's made (7) in the game against the Heat last week. He appears to be the best pay-up spot at Guard, so expect his ownership to be high.

Ayo Dosunmu - PG, CHI @ BKN ($5,400 DK, $5,600 FD)

In the 5 full games he's played, Dosunmu is averaging 27.5 DK points per-game, and has gone over 30 points 3 times. Dosunmu was held out of the Bulls' last game against the 76ers after being listed as probable, so I expect him to be fresh tonight. In addition, there is some question about whether or not Zach LaVine suits up tonight. Should Lavine sit, Dosunmu might be my favorite play on the slate.

Jalen Williams - PG/SG, OKC vs ORL ($3,900 DK, $4,200 FD)

In the wake of Josh Giddey dealing with an injury, we've seen a couple of guys get a chance at more minutes. The latest name in that list is 2022 first-round draft pick Jalen Williams. Williams suffered an orbital injury that required surgery 6 minutes into his NBA debut but returned last game to the tune of 29.75 DK points in 27 minutes. We know the Thunder are always trying to evaluate their young pieces to see how many first-round picks they can be traded for, so I expect Williams to continue as the first guard off the bench in the roster's current state.

Others to consider: Alex Caruso ($4,400 DK, $5,000 FD), Devin Booker ($9,000 DK, $8,900 FD)

DraftKings and FanDuel Forwards - NBA DFS Lineup Picks

Karl-Anthony Towns - SF, MIN @ PHX ($8,800 DK, $9,300 FD)

Towns is starting to show signs of life after a sluggish start to the season. Towns posted his first 50 piece of the fantasy season and did so while not shooting particularly well (especially from deep). KAT draws a solid positional matchup against the Suns, who are without starting center Deandre Ayton. With the second-highest implied total on the night, I think this could be an eruption spot for Towns.

Cameron Johnson - SF/PF, PHX vs MIN ($5,400 DK, $4,800 FD)

Johnson is coming off his best game of the season - recording season-highs in all the fantasy-relevant categories we care about. Johnson made five 3s, his most in a game this year, and now draws Minnesota's lackluster perimeter defense. When it comes to volume shooters like Johnson, ride 'em while they're hot.

Javonte Green - SF/PF, CHI @ BKN ($3,500 DK, $4,000 FD)

Green has been a sneaky great value play so far this year. He's gone over 15 DK points in 5 straight games while never being priced more than $3,800. There isn't a ton of value via injury, unless Lavine ends up sitting. I like Green either way, but if Lavine does sit, I think Green makes a lot of sense as a budget-friendly option.

Others to consider:Kevin Durant ($10,200 DK, $10,400 FD), Bol Bol ($5,700 DK, $5,800 FD)

 

DraftKings and FanDuel Centers - NBA DFS Lineup Picks

Bam Adebayo - C, WAS vs DET ($7,400 DK, $7,900 FD)

After posting a season-high 49 fantasy points against the Warriors last Thursday, I'm going back to the well. Adebayo dominated the Warriors' inexperienced big men, posting a season-high 29 real points. At only $100 more than his price in the last matchup, Adebayo is a great bargain and makes a lot of sense on this slate.

Bismack Biyombo - C, PHX vs MIN  ($5,500 DK, $5,000 FD)

With Deandre Ayton out for the week, expect to see a lot of Biyombo in DFS line-ups in the upcoming days. Biyombo filled in exceptionally when Ayton missed time in the second half of last season, and I expect him to shine in the role again. I will concede that Jock Landale outplayed him last game, but Biyombo's defense gives him such an interesting floor/ceiling combo for fantasy. With a difference of only $500, I prefer the starting option to the bench one.

Others to consider: Nikola Vucevic ($7,800 DK, $4,800 FD) Kevon Looney ($4,100 DK, $4,800 FD)
