I hope that everyone didn’t fill up on turkey and stuffing yesterday-because we got 12 games on our plate today in the NBA! If anyone is interested, Draftkings is offering a $5,000 free roll tonight(first place wins $150):
https://www.draftkings.com/contest/draftteam/15574916Â
Last article’s highlight picks(11/24):
Mason Plumlee: 39.75 DK points
Avery Bradley: 38.25 DK points
Paul Millsap 43.75 DK points
Jeff Green 36.25 DK points
Damian Lillard: 46 Â DK points
D’Angelo Russell: 21.5 DK points(Had better value than Steph for his price)
Point Guards
Jrue Holiday- $4,400 @LAC
Vegas predicts Pelicans-Clippers as the highest over/under at 213 points, so load up on players from both teams. Jrue Holiday is on a ~26-minute limit restriction, but last game, he still managed to score 30.5 points on Draftkings. When Jrue is healthy, he can be an all-star, yet he is only $4,400 tonight, which is too cheap for a player of Jrue’s caliber. Holiday will play ~26 minutes tonight in a high scoring game. Jrue will have plenty of opportunities to score in a fast-paced game like this one.

Rajon Rondo- $9,300 vs. MIN
Rondo has been incredible for the Kings this year. He is averaging almost a triple double over the last 10 games! When Cousins is out, Rondo really shines. He does everything on the court. He gets rebounds, steals, points, and many assists(he had 20 in a game earlier this year). Cousins missed Wednesday’s game, and if he doesn’t play tonight, Rondo could put up 60 DK points. Rajon is averaging 42 minutes/game over his last four, he is getting a ton of minutes, and he is producing. Rondo and company are taking on the Timberwolves, so Rondo should be on the floor almost the entire game.
“The Sleeper Pick”- Tony Parker
Shooting Guards
Evan Turner vs. WAS
There aren’t a lot of shooting guards with favorable match ups tonight. Evan Turner is the only one that really sticks out to me. Marcus Smart is out for a few weeks, and Turner and Bradley have stepped up in his absence. Boston has had to rely on Turner a lot for production and minutes. Since Smart has been out, Turner has averaged 31 minutes/game and 29 DK points/game too. The only thing stopping Turner from putting up good numbers is not getting enough minutes. Turner gets overshadowed sometimes by Thomas, Smart, and Bradley, but when Turner gets playing time, he makes the most of it. The Wizards give up the 3rd most fantasy points to opposing shooting guards, so Avery Bradley is also good play tonight.
“The Sleeper Pick”- Zach LaVine
Small Forwards
Kawhi Leonard $8,400 Â @DEN
Paul George is now the most expensive small forward on Draftkings(yes more than Lebron and KD). So, Kawhi’s value is at an all time high tonight! With Duncan and Ginoboli out, Leonard should see an increase in minutes and shot attempts too. Leonard hasn’t had a game this season where he has not scored more than 35 DK points! Leonard may have the best game tonight out of any small forward and he’s relatively cheap too. The Nuggets also give up the 7th most fantasy points to opposing small forwards, so Kawhi should have a big night.
Robert Covington $5,100 @Â HOU
It was about time Philly put Covington in the starting lineup for a change. Covington got the start on Wednesday and had a career high 14 rebounds and 6 steals! 14 rebounds for a small forward is rare, but 14 rebounds from a small forward who is only $5,000 on Draftkings is extremely rare. Covington looks fully healthy again and is averaging 34 minutes/game in his last three games. Covington will never be this cheap on Draftkings ever again, so make sure to roster him tonight.
“The Sleeper Pick”- Omri Casspi
Power Forwards
Kevin Love- $8,300 @ CHA
Love is proving all the naysayers wrong this year and putting up monster numbers in the process. Even with LeBron on his team, Love is still averaging 20 and 12 on the year. The Hornets give up the most fantasy points to opposing power forwards, so Love and Thompson should have nice games. In his last four games Love is averaging, 47.7 DK points/game, but his price is still only $8,300. The Hornets aren’t gonna be able to stop K-Love tonight, they can only hope to contain him.
“The Sleeper pick”- Tristan Thompson
Centers
Nikola Vucevic- $6,800 vs. MIL
Dating back to last year, I have never seen Vucevic’s price this low. Nikola hasn’t had a great year this year because he hasn’t been able to stay healthy. When Vucevic is healthy, he puts up 20 and 10 every single night. Vucevic has been on a minutes restriction, but hopefully the Magic let him play a big role in tonight’s game against Milwaukee. Last game, Vuce put up 22 points and 12 rebounds in only 31 minutes! He should see good minutes tonight in a close game against the Bucks. Look for Vucevic to have much better value than his $6,600 price tag suggets.
Nikola Jokic- $4,600 @ SA
To be honest, I don’t know a whole lot about Nikola Jokic, but I do know he put up 50 DK points against the Spurs last week and he was only $3,000 on DK. With Nurkic and Faried out, Jokic has been getting good minutes and is making the most of them. The Spurs don’t have Duncan tonight, so hopefully Jokic can take advantage and have another big game against the Spurs. If Joffrey Lauvergne plays instead of Jokic, Koufos is $4,500.
