DraftKings and FanDuel Guards - NBA DFS Lineup Picks
Ja Morant - PG, MEM @ NO ($10,100 DK, $10,600 FD)
The last two times the Grizzlies visited New Orleans, they posted team totals of 132 & 141. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that's a LOT of points. Morant sat out the Grizzlies' game on Sunday vs the Wizards and now returns fresh for a game with a 230 implied points total. With Desmond Bane likely to miss tonight's game, I like the chances Morant explodes tonight for a massive performance.
Seth Curry - SG, BKN @ SAC ($4,200 DK, $4,700 FD)
In the absence of Kyrie Irving the Nets have done a bunch of tinkering with their backcourt. Curry has been ramping back into action after missing the start of the season recovering from an ankle injury and was held out of the Nets' game Sunday in LA. However, in the two games prior he played 23 & 28 minutes, posting 30+ DK points in both games. The Kings are currently 28th in the NBA at defending the 3, making this a perfect spot to take a chance on Curry having a big night from beyond the arc.
Josh Richardson - PG/SG, SAS @ POR ($4,200 DK, $4,700 FD)
The Spurs are currently short-handed in the backcourt and starting PG Tre Jones missed last night's game due to a stomach bug. Richardson isn't exactly a flashy play but should provide a safe floor as long as he remains one of the Spurs' two alternate PG options.
Others to consider: Reggie Jackson ($5,100 DK, $5,000 FD), Damian Lillard ($9,900 DK, $9,000 FD)

DraftKings and FanDuel Forwards - NBA DFS Lineup Picks
Kevin Durant - PF, BKN @ SAC ($11,200 DK, $11,300 FD)
Since Kyrie Irving was suspended, Durant has taken over as the solo alpha in Brooklyn. We all know Durant is an incredible scorer, but since Irving's suspension, Durant has become more of a playmaker. In the 6 games with no Kyrie, Durant is averaging 6.5 assists per game, up from his season average of 5.3 per game. He's also posted double-digit assists twice. As long as Irving remains out, KD will remain in consideration for "Best Play of the Slate" every time the Nets play.
Julius Randle - PF, NYK @ UTA ($8,100 DK, $7,500 FD)
Randle has been the model of consistency of late - he's averaging 39 DK points per game on the season, and hasn't scored less than 37.5 in 6 straight games. Tonight, he's the highest-priced player in the game with the highest implied O/U (230.5), which is typically a great spot to pay up. Considering he's only $8,100, I'm very intrigued by this spot. The Jazz don't have a rim protector anymore and are vulnerable on the interior.
Keita Bates-Diop - PF, SAS @ BKN ($3,300 DK, $3,500 FD)
Bates-Diop impressed Spurs' coaches so much with his recent stretch of play, that in lieu of Tre Jones, they decided to shuffle the makeup of their starting lineup to include Bates-Diop. In turn, he rewarded them (and fantasy owners) with an impressive 12/9/2 & 2-steal performance in the Spurs' blowout loss to the Warriors. I know some might be skeptical about the performance given the uncompetitive nature of the game but given the fact the lineup was shuffled to ensure KBD's inclusion, I prefer to focus on that. If Jones ends up sitting again tonight, KBD feels like a free space.
Others to consider: Paul George ($10,400 DK, $9,400 FD), Kevin Huerter ($5,400 DK, $5,800 FD)
DraftKings and FanDuel Centers - NBA DFS Lineup Picks
Domantas Sabonis - C, SAC vs BKN ($9,200 DK, $9,600 FD)
Sabonis is coming off his biggest game of the season, where he posted a 26/22/8 line for a whopping 66.5-point night on DK. Sabonis averages 11.3 rebounds per game on the year and has posted a double-double in 6 of his previous 7 games. All that is great in a vacuum, but what makes Sabonis worth his price tag is the matchup. The Nets sit 2nd-to-last in defensive rebounding (73.1%), which bodes well for the elite offensive rebounding skills Sabonis possesses.
Drew Eubanks - C, SAS @ POR ($3,900 DK, $4,300 FD)
To preface - this is completely dependent on Jusuf Nurkic missing his 4th straight game. If Nurkic is out, Eubanks figures to continue filling in. Eubanks is actually seeing a minor price decrease after two underwhelming performances. However, he's played 60 minutes in the last two games combined and is playing against the 23rd-ranked fantasy defense against centers. For the opportunity cost, I'm willing to take a chance on a guy who posted 31 DK points not even a week ago.
Others to consider: Charles Bassey ($4,100 DK, $4,800 FD)
