Guards
Top Play | Lebron James ($10,000)
Lebron James continues to remain absolutely incredible this year, but while I don’t plan playing him if we get enough value to where you can pay up somewhere, I think he becomes in play. Lebron is probably my least favorite top play listed, however this game should stay close versus Denver, and I’ll always have interest in Lebron in a close game.
Mid-tier |Â Victor Oladipo ($8,000)
Victor Oladipo is probably my favorite Mid-tier Play. John Wall has already been ruled out which gives Victor Oladipo more assist opportunities. I also think The Rockets win this game outright vs The Grizzlies, and with a close spread at just 1 point in favor of The Grizzlies Oladipo should have no problem getting close to 40 minutes.
Value | Josh Richardson ($4,900)
Josh Richardson is a player I have played the past two nights with great success. Josh Richardson is simply playing too many minutes for him to hurt you at this price tag. He has averaged 36 minutes the past 3 games.
Fade | Luka Doncic ($10,900)Â
Luka Doncic is my favorite player in the NBA, but The Mavericks are just too healthy for him to pay off this steep price tag.

Top Play | Kristaps Porzingis ($7,700)
Another Maverick playing a ton of minutes? Sign me up for Kristaps Porzingis. Porzingis is shooting almost 20 times per game and playing around 34 minutes, if he continues to stay healthy at this price tag he is a near lock for me.
Mid-tier | Bojan Bogdanovic ($5,700)
Bojan Bogdanovic is just a player that always seems to make my articles. I won’t be playing him, but he is my second favorite Mid-tier play. My favorite player is listed below John Collins, just making sure you are all still paying attention!
Value | Who ever is going to get minutes for The WarriorsÂ
Who plays Forward/Center for The Warriors? My answer would be Draymond Green, a player I absolutely hate when it comes to DFS. Draymond Green might end up playing around 36 minutes tonight. Eric Paschall just doesn’t see the floor enough. The Warriors have so many injuries at these positions, I expect them to go small tomorrow, don’t get excited to play Paschall I’ve been down that road it ain’t pretty. Play Draymond as disgusting as it is.
Fade | Michael Porter Jr ($6,100)
Michael Porter Jr. is an uber talented player, but the minutes just are not there for him right now. I can’t play any player at $6,100 playing 20 minutes no matter how good he is.
Others I Like
John Collins ($7,300)
Kevin Huerter ($5,500)
Centers
Top Play | Joel Embiid ($10,200)
I’ll let you in on a secret, as the slate sits right now I’m building a super balanced line up. A lot can change in DFS in a matter of 3 minutes just remember that. Joel Embiid is my favorite payup option if you need one. The thought of Enes Kanter trying to defend him instantly has me interested, he’s also a top MVP candidate with a high usage rate. The 76ers have two above average players in Ben Simmons and Tobias Harris, but they are not stars like Embiid is.
Mid-tier | Draymond Green ($5,200)
Draymond Green should play around 36 minutes!
Value | Gorgui Dieng ($4,400)
Being a Timberwolves fan, I’ll always have a soft spot for Gorgui Dieng. He is going to come off the bench which isn’t exciting. I’m not willing to play Tillman, I think you can roll the dice here.
Fade | Christian Wood ($8,800)
Christian Wood has been incredible at times this season, but he isn’t right now and his minutes have decreased a bunch since Demarcus Cousins got healthy. Too much money to play Wood.
