Guards
Top Play
Kyrie Irving ($9,600)
Kyrie Irving gets massive usage bumps without Kevin Durant on the floor. Pay attention to the Brooklyn Nets starting line up tonight. Caris Lavert did not start last game and I expect him to continue to run with the second unit. Kyrie usage rate with both Kevin Durant and Caris Lavert on the floor is a respectable 29%, with those two off the floor it sky rockets to 42%. Kyrie is a great place to start.
Mid-tier | Collin Sexton ($7,300)
Collin Sextons continues to play 35+ minutes and shoot 20 times a game. I’ll continue to be interested in him at this price until something changes.
Value |Patty Mills ($4,300)
I feel like this once might be a chase. Patty Mills is consistently playing round 25 minutes which is promising on a 5 game slate that lacks value, but i dont think I end up here
Fade | Damian Lillard (9,300)
Damian Lillard can go off at any minute and we all know that. I’d much rather be with Kyrie for just $300 more. CJ McCollum has just been playing too well for be with Lillard. Lillard has also yet to double-double, I get The Timberwolves are bad, but I’m out on Lillard.

Forwards
Top Play | Lebron James ($10,000)
Lebron James has been absolute stellar even in year 18! I remember watching Lebron in high school on ESPN while playing for St.Vincent-St Mary. One this that stood out to me was his unreal real athleticism and that he hate to cover his tattoos. Tonight’s match-up vs The Spurs, I ask myself who is going to guard Lebron, the same can be said about his teammate Anthony Davis. I think both are in play, but if I had to pick on it is Lebron, the 4% higher usage rate is a big reason why! (you can find many of these stats on addmorefunds.com/nba/wowy or statmuse.com)
Mid-tier | Cedi Osman (5,700)
Cedi Osman isjust someone that greatly benefits from The Cavaliers being banged up. Cedi can play positions 2-4 and is getting a big minutes bump recently for his versatility.
Value | JaMychal Green ($4,500)
JaMychal Green might end up being a hidden gem on this slate. Green plays behind Paul Milsap who is aging and seems to have his minutes capped around 25 minutes per game. The sample size is small with Green, however he is playing around 23 minutes off the bench and he shoots the three well.
Fade | DeMar DeRozan ($7,900)
DeMar DeroZan takes a slight usage decrease with LaMarcus Aldridge on the floor, and The Lakers are still a very good team defensively.
Others I Like
Juncho Hernangomez ($4,400)
I touted Juncho all day on Tuesday, but he still isn’t very good but Josh Okogie remains out for my Timberwolves.
Anthony Davis ($9,800)
Centers
Top Play | Andre Drummond ($8,400)
Andre Drummond took a price decrease for literally no reason, and at just $8,400 he is simply too cheap. One of these Cavaliers will be in the winning line up just on the fact that someone will have to score for them and they continue to run super thin.
Mid-tier | Brandon Clarke (5,300)
Brandon Clarke is just a great DFS player. He doesn’t do anything exceptionally well, but he will play 30 minutes shoot 10+ times get you rebounds, blocks and steals. I think he will be a staple in my line ups tonight.
Value | Jarred Vanderbilt ($3,800)
Jarred Vanderbilt not only has a great first name, but he also has earned every minute he has gotten. Vanderbilt just plays extremely hard, if there’s one thing I know its my Wolves. Play Jarred Vanderbilt if you need some value.
Fade | Larry Nance Jr ($7,000)
Larry Nance Jr is just extremly over priced. I’ve talked about the Cavaliers all throughout this article, but this one is an easy fade. The usage just isn’t there, the minutes may be but he isn’t doing much with them.
