DraftKings and FanDuel Guards - NBA DFS Lineup Picks
De'Aaron Fox, SAC vs GS – PG ($9,800 DK; $10,000 FD)
Fox is coming off a great game against a stout Minnesota defense. He posted his first double-double of the year with a 36/7/12 performance and is in another great spot tonight. This game boasts the highest implied total on the slate (238.5), and both teams are going to be playing on 3 days of rest, which should mean offense aplenty. Fox is sporting a career-high 32.6% usage rate thus far this year, and getting him for under $10,000 is a great value.

Terry Rozier, CHA @ NYK – PG/SG ($7,400 DK; $7,900 FD)
In lieu of LaMelo Ball getting injured, everyone on the Hornets saw a bump in statistical output. I'm choosing to highlight Rozier because in what was a game he was supposed to be "eased back in" after missing 3 weeks, he played 37 minutes and dropped 22 points with 9 assists. He instantly becomes the Hornets' top facilitator and has a real chance to get the double-double bonus.
Caleb Martin, MIA vs MIL – SG/SF ($4,500 DK; $5,200 FD)
Although it's not confirmed at the time of writing this, all signs point to Jimmy Butler missing tonight's game. Martin is coming off his best game in what has been an up-and-down and injury-plagued campaign thus far. Martin played pretty well against the Bucks when these two teams squared off in Round 1 of last year's playoffs, with Martin scoring 12+ points in 4 of 5 games. Without Butler, who absolutely killed the Bucks in that playoff series, someone will have to step up for Miami.
Also Consider: Donovan Mitchell, ($9,200 DK; $9,500 FD); Coby White, ($5,800 DK, $5,900 FD)

DraftKings and FanDuel Forwards - NBA DFS Lineup Picks
Jayson Tatum, BOS vs CHI – PF ($10,300 DK; $10,600 FD)
Admittedly, Tatum has been a bit underwhelming from a fantasy perspective this year. The addition of Kristaps Porzingis has given the Celtics something they've lacked in recent years, but his production has eaten into Tatum's so far this year. With Porzingis scheduled to miss a few games due to a calf issue, and the Celtics coming off a wallopping in Orlando, I like Tatum to reclaim his title as alpha of the offense tonight in a plus-matchup against the Bulls.
Miles Bridges, CHA @ NYK – SF/PF ($8,000 DK; $8,000 FD)
Since returning from the aftermath of his off-the-court issues, Bridges has been one of the most widely-owned players on every slate he's been a part of. He once again projects as a fantastic play, posting 43+ fantasy points and a double-double in 3 straight games. With LaMelo Ball hurt, I expect Bridges to continue seeing massive usage numbers.
Jaime Jacquez, MIA vs MIL – SF/PF ($5,400 DK; $6,000 FD)
Jacquez has been replacing Jimmy Butler in Miami's starting 5 while Butler is hurt, and that doesn't appear to be changing any time soon. He's got a handful of 30+ point fantasy games under his belt this year already, and he regularly plays over 30 minutes. Jacquez will likely be one of the most popular salary-saving options on this slate.
Jaime Jaquez Jr. over his last 4 games:
18.5 PPG
5.3 RPG
3.3 APG
1.3 SPG
53% FG
59% 3PT
86% FTSteal of the draft? 👀 pic.twitter.com/z9co1BUnf5

DraftKings and FanDuel Centers - NBA DFS Lineup Picks
Domantas Sabonis, SAC vs GS – C ($10,100 DK; $9,900 FD)
In two games this year, Sabonis is averaging 55 fantasy points a game against the Warriors, nearly posting a triple-double in both of those games. Shockingly, the Kings have only played 5 games at home so far this year, but Sabonis has enjoyed the home cooking so far this year. He's averaging 54.2 fantasy points per game at home compared to his season average of 49.6.
Neemias Queta, BOS vs CHI – C ($3,100 DK; $3,800 FD)
There isn't a ton of value to be found on this slate tonight, but if you're willing to roll the dice on Queta he makes a lot of things work from a salary perspective. Only getting a shot to see the court due to Porzingis' injury, Queta made the most of his second appearance in a Celtics' uniform. In his 15 minutes on the court, he posted an impressive 7 points and 10 rebounds, and more importantly, he vastly outperformed veteran Luke Kornet. Queta was part of the G-League All-Defense team last year, and grabbing 10 rebounds in only 15 minutes is no easy feat. The Celtics are big 13.5-point favorites, and Queta should be seeing game time regardless of game flow, but should the Celtics be winning big in the 4th, that could provide extra opportunity.
Also Consider: Giannis Antetokounmpo, ($11,400 DK; $11,700 FD)
