Point Guards
Rajon Rondo- $8,100 @ LAL
Rondo has been awesome for the Kings this season, in fact the Kings are just 0.5 GB off of a playoff spot. The Kings want to make the playoffs, especially Cousins and Rondo. For the first time in years, Sacramento has something to play for. The O/U on the SAC-LAL game is 215 points, which is the highest on the entire 11 game slate, and it’s no secret that Sacramento runs the fastest paced offense in the NBA. Rondo is the only guard in the entire league averaging a double-double, and the Lakers give up the 2nd most fantasy points to opposing point guards. Can’t see a situation where Rondo doesn’t get another 10-15-8 tonight at Staples Center.

Shooting Guards
Wes Matthews- $4,800 vs. MIN
Wesley hasn’t been the same since his achilles injury late last year, but there were times last year when Matthews was $7,200, and now he’s just $4,800 taking on a struggling T-Wolves team, that has won 1 game in their last 10 contests. Dirk Nowitzki is out tonight, which gives a bump to Deron Williams, Matthews, and Parsons. Wes has struggled shooting the ball this year(shooting below 40% from the floor) but has had a few great games this year where he’s crushed value. Matthews is a sneaky GPP play with Dirk out tonight, hopefully we see the old Wes Matthews tonight against Minnesota.
Kentavious Caldwell-Pope- $5,800 @ HOU
The “Play shooting guards against James Harden” stereotype is no joke. Ben McLemore had 38 DK points when he took on Harden earlier last month. Caldwell-Pope has been playing awesome of late, and although his price isn’t desirable, he still should be a big part of Detroit’s offense tonight in Houston. Vegas has the O/U on the DET-HOU game at 207 combined points, which is the 3rd highest on the slate. Vegas definitely took Harden’s defense into account when making the lines.
“The Sleeper Pick”- Lou Williams
Small Forwards
Tobias Harris- $ 6,100 @ PHI
With Victor Oladipo out, and Elfrid Payton suffering from a sophomore slump, Tobias Harris will be asked to be the key to the Magic’s offense tonight in Philly. Last week against Brooklyn, Harris only shot 3 for 15 from the field, but still managed to score 40 DK points. Harris doesn’t necessarily need to score to be valuable. Tobias is a triple-double threat every time he steps foot on the court, and has an excellent match up tonight against the 76ers.
“The Sleeper Pick”- Chandler Parsons
Power Forwards
DeMarcus Cousins- $10,600 @ LAL
Cousins has seven straight double-doubles entering tonight’s game against the Lakers. Cousins has the 7th highest usage rate out of every player in the NBA. This game is going to be extremely high scoring tonight, the Kings give up 108.3 to opposing teams and the Lakers give up 106 PPG to opponents. Cousins and Rondo should put on a show tonight at Staples Center. Both Rondo and Cousins should have double-doubles tonight in LA, and triple-doubles are not out of the question for either tonight as the Kings fight for a playoff spot.
Dwight Powell- $3,800 vs. MIN
Powell will get the start in place of Dirk Nowitzki tonight against the T-Wolves.
When given minutes, Powell is a double-double machine for the Mavericks. Against San Antonio two games ago, Powell scored 15 points in just 16 minutes on the floor, and he should see 30+ minutes tonight against the T-Wolves tonight. Dwight is a steal tonight at just $3,800 tonight on DraftKings.
“The Sleeper Pick”- Julius Randle
Centers
Nikola Vucevic- $7,300 @ PHI (Revenge Game Alert)
Vucevic has an excellent match up tonight as he takes on his former team the 76ers on the road. Vucevic should dominate inside the paint against Jahlil Okafor’s less than stellar defense. The Magic are going to rely heavily on Vucevic and Harris for offense tonight with Victor Oladipo out. Vucevic has scored 42+ DK points in three out of the last four games and the Magic are 1 game out of a playoff spot, so look for that streak to continue for Vuce tonight in Philadelphia.
“The Sleeper Pick”- Frank Kaminsky
