Guards
Top Play | Stephen Curry ($10,100)
I had a hard time deciding between Stephen Curry and Damian Lillard. I probably won’t be playing either to be completely honestly unless more value opens up. I think Curry gets the edge here over Lillard if you are looking to pay up, but I won’t be.
Mid-tier | Malcolm Brogdan ($7,500)
Malcolm Brogdan is a player I absolutely love on tonight’s slate. He just checks all the boxes for me. The minutes are there, the usage is there, and I even like the price tag on him as well. Brogdan fits perfectly with what I plan on doing, and that is a more balenced approach
Value | Frank Mason ($4,000)
Frank Mason seems like he has been in the league forever doesn’t he? Mason has been playing a ton of minutes and that should only go up with Cole Anthony listed as questionable. I don’t have to talk a bunch about this one, Frank Mason is the best play on the slate and it isn’t close in my opinion!
Fade | Fred VanVleet ($8,500)
Fred VanVleet has made huge strides this season. He is having a phenomenal season, however the price tag is just too steep on him tonight. I love the game stack of The Celtics versus The Raptors, but I’d much rather play Kyle Lowry for $1,200 less.

Top Play | Jaylen Brown ($7,700)
Jaylen Brown is my top stud play on the slate and I don’t think it’s very close. Here is what we can expect from Brown, 20 shot attempts, 36 minutes, that doesn’t sound like a $7,700 player to me. Simply put he is just too cheap for me not to play.
Mid-tier | Robert Covington ($5,900)
I wouldn’t say I’m in love with the Robert Covington play, but he plays a ton of minutes and he fit my build. Covington is another minutes monster and should see 35 minutes. Covington also can get there in many different ways as he is a stat sheet stuffer.
Value | P.J. Tucker ($3,700)
P.J. Tucker is everyone’s least favorite DFS player, I think many people have been sucked into him many different times, myslef included. This slate simply lacks value as it sits and while I don’t plan on playing him, I also think he could be a key to paying up for a stud.
Fade | Tobias Harris ($7,700)
Tobias Harris is a player that seem to frequent my fade plays. My biggest reasoning for that is he just offers very minimal upside. Tobias is a solid player don’t get me wrong but when you play Tobias you know what your’e going to be getting, around 35-40 DK points.

Centers
Top Play | Domantas Sabonis ($8,800)
Domantas Sabonis remains too cheap, the only problem is The Pacers have been getting blown out alot lately. Sabonis is an absolute star in my eyes and plays heavy minutes in close games. I don’t plan on playing him, but I think he’s in play with The Pacers playing The Pistons, this game should remain close.
Mid-tier | Mason Plumlee ($6,100)
Mason Plumlee is a center I never get excited to play. Mason Plumlee has been rock solid all year long and on a short slate sometimes you just need a filer and he is exactly that.
Value | Chris Boucher ($6,000)
Chris Boucher is a very frusterating player in the DFS world. Boucher is so talented but rarely sees over 30 minutes. I think he offers some salary relief tonight in a game I plan on stacking.
Fade | Joel Embiid ($10,800)
Joel Embiid is neck and neck with Nikola Jokic in terms of the MVP in my opinon, but at almost 11k I just cant get here tonight. The price tag is almost 1k over priced. Joel Embiid can get you 50 DK easily on any given night but at almost 11k you need around 65 from him.
