DraftKings Guards - NBA DFS Lineup Picks

Jaden Springer, SG – @ LAL ($9,300)

Heading into his fourth NBA season, Jaden Springer is only 21 years old and has improved little by little each season. He received the most playing time of his career while he was still with the Philadelphia 76ers, and then took a step back after being traded to the eventual NBA Champion Boston Celtics. Springer looked like a solid veteran in his first Summer League game against the Miami Heat. He posted 23 points, six assists, two rebounds, and two steals while shooting 8-for-15 from the floor and 3-for-6 from beyond the arc. Against this Lakers team, he should remain a top performer.

Jared McCain, PG - vs. POR ($6,500)

The 16th overall pick in this year's NBA Draft was selected with shooting in mind. Jared McCain put up some elite shooting numbers as a freshman at Duke and hasn't flashed his skills yet this summer. In the 76ers first game in Vegas, McCain only shot 4-for-14 overall and made one of his six three-point attempts. He also contributed six rebounds, one assist, and two steals while ending up with 11 points. McCain has taken care of the ball very well and the cold-shooting spell isn't likely to last long.

Isaiah Collier, SG - @ SAC ($6,100)

The Utah Jazz have already sat down both Keyonte George and Walker Kessler for the Las Vegas portion of Summer League. That leaves Isaiah Collier and Brice Sensabaugh as the main guard options with Cody Williams as one of the ballhandlers. Collier saw 28 minutes as a starter in his first game in Vegas and posted 12 points, seven assists, two rebounds, two steals, one block, and one turnover. The good news is that DraftKings doesn't take shooting efficiency into account, so Collier looks even better.

His poise and basketball IQ have both been on display already and with a solid supporting cast in terms of scoring, Collier should be able to rack up some more assists.

Also Consider: Bryce McGowens ($8,200), Keon Ellis ($7,800), Brice Sensabaugh ($6,400), Terquavion Smith ($5,800)

 

DraftKings Forwards/Centers - NBA DFS Lineup Picks

GG Jackson II, SF/PF - vs. DAL ($9,500)

The Memphis Grizzlies were the most injured team by a wide margin last season. This allowed guys like GG Jackson II, Vince Williams Jr., and Jake. LaRavia to all get a lot of playing time. Jackson and Williams capitalized the most on those added opportunities and seemingly set themselves up for a role on the team moving forward. During their first Summer League game against the Sacramento Kings, the 19-year-old posted 17 points, seven rebounds, and one assist while shooting 5-for-17 from the floor and 3-for-8 from deep. Jackson possesses solid athletic ability while being able to stretch the floor and grab boards, so he should be one of the top contributors in this slate.

Neemias Queta, C - @ LAL ($7,500)

The 25-year-old big man out of Portugal may not need to play much longer this summer. Neemias Queta was called upon more often this past season than he was in his first two seasons combined. He contributed some big minutes when fellow centers Kristaps Porzingis and Al Horford were either hurt or taking a rest day. He averaged 5.5 points, 4.4 rebounds, and close to a block per contest while playing just 11.9 minutes a night.

Against the Miami Heat, in Boston's first game in Vegas, Queta contributed 20 points, nine rebounds, two assists, one block, and one steal across 23 minutes. Queta should be able to put up a similar game against a Lakers team that has been struggling this summer.

Cody Williams, SF/PF - @ SAC ($6,900)

In his first Las Vegas Summer League action, Williams exploded to the tune of 21 points, four assists, and three rebounds on 9-for-15 shooting overall and 3-for-6 from downtown. His offensive game already looks quite polished compared to the other rookies who took the floor. He was able to score from all areas of the floor, attacked closeouts very well, and flashed a good ability to distribute the ball. Against a weaker Sacramento Kings team, Williams should be able to find open floor yet again.

Also Consider: Kenneth Lofton Jr. ($6,700), Keve Aluma ($5,800), Melvin Ajinca ($5,600), Kyle Filipowski ($5,400)
