DFS NBA DraftKings Lineup Advice 3/4/19
Another Monday, another full slate of NBA. Hooray for me on the Bam Adebayo pick! Called that one. Otherwise, not so good, but that’s how it goes sometimes. Nothing too distinct to say here today. Let’s just move on to the picks.

Top Plays
Trae Young (Atlanta) $9,300 @ Miami
On paper this is not a great pick. Trae Young has struggled against the Heat this season to the tune of 41.8 fantasy points per game. That being said, he’s incredibly hot and with John Collins’s status up in the air due to injury, Young’s usage rate could be through the roof. Also all the other picks I could have made here are far too obvious so I thought I would spice it up a bit.
Others to consider:Â
LeBron James $11,200 vs. L.A. Clippers, Luka Doncic $9,100 @ Brooklyn, Donovan Mitchell $8,300 versus New OrleansÂ

Harry Giles (Sacramento) $4,100 vs. New York Knicks
I’m just going for it today, and trying to be as out there as possible. While his minutes are mediocre, Harry Giles has killed it in the two games since Marvin Bagley III went down with injury. Giles is averaging 28.25 fantasy points in the last two games, which is a miniscule sample, but still. Remember, Giles was arguably the Number 1 Recruit in the country the year he came out of high school and has talent. The Knicks are a great matchup for him, and he should be able to match or exceed value rather easily.

Brook Lopez $5,500 @ Phoenix, Dwight Powell $5,200 @ Brooklyn, Emmanuel Mudiay $4,900 @ Sacramento
Neva Plays
Nikola Jokic (Denver) $10,300 @ San Antonio
I don’t know what is up with the Joker or the Nuggets recently, but both are struggling. Add in the fact that the Joker has struggled against the Spurs this season to the tune of 34.6 fantasy points per game, and his price still being above 10,000 and he’s an easy fade for this game. I see the Joker coming back with one of his signature triple-doubles soon, just not here.
