Happy Tuesday! The winds are blowing hard and there is snow on the ground, which means NBA season must be in full swing! Here a are some of our highlight picks from our last article on November 27th!
Kevin Love= 41 DK points
Kostas Koufos= 36.75 DK points
Zach LaVine = 34.5 DK points
Andrew Wiggins= 35 DK points
Rajon Rondo= 45.5 DK points
Robert Covington = 63.25 DK points
Point Guards
Raymond Felton $3,400 @POR (Revenge Game Alert)
When Felton gets minutes, he has proven to be a productive player in this league. J.J. Barea is out for Dallas until at least Friday, so Felton has been taking on a bigger role with the Mavs lately. Last night, Felton had 29.25 DK points against the Kings in 26 minutes on the court. The biggest surprise about his performance on Monday night was that Rick Carlisle gave Felton the most minutes out of any player on the Mavs bench. Felton is playing his former team tonight and the Blazers may not have Damian Lillard, so hopefully Felton can capitalize against Portland’s back ups.
“The Sleeper Pick”- T.J. McConnell
Shooting Guards
C.J. McCollum- $6,700 vs. DAL
If Lillard is out tomorrow, C.J. McCollum becomes a lock in most all lineups. McCollum and Lillard run the show in Portland, and when Lillard is out, it means his shots will be going to C.J. I bet you didn’t know that so far this season, McCollum is 18th in the league in scoring, putting up 20 PPG! The Mavericks give up the 6th most fantasy points to opposing shooting guards, and if Lillard is out, don’t be shocked if McCollum has 50 points on Draftkings tonight. This season, McCollum has shown he can score more efficiently than Lillard can, McCollum has a better FG and three-point percentage than Lillard does. Look for a big game from C.J. on Tuesday.

Jordan Clarkson- $5,300 @PHI
Adam Silver loves Daily fantasy because no one would EVER tune into the Lakers and 76ers play unless they have fantasy players involved. Clarkson has been on fire recently, putting up 48 and 36.75 DK points respectively in his last two games. Vegas has the Lakers favored by only one point tonight, which means this game is gonna be a very close game and the starters will see a lot of minutes. Clarkson seems to be the lone bright spot in the Lakers offense as he leads the team with 15.6 PPG. Clarkson should see 36+ minutes tonight playing in a close game and he should have a really nice outing against an 0-18 team.
“The Sleeper Pick”- Kobe anyone???
Small Forwards
Robert Covington- $6,700 vs. LAL
Wow, that escalated quickly…Covington’s price has sky-rocketed to $6,700 on Draftkings. Covington has been unbelievable for the Sixers so far this year. Last three games Covington has averaged SEVEN steals a game!! The Sixers rely on him a lot, Cov hasn’t seen less than 33 minutes on the floor in his last five games. His price is pretty high, but he has the upside to put up 60 DK points, which makes him an awesome GPP play. The Lakers don’t have anyone who can defend the small forward spot, they have given up the 4th most fantasy points to opposing small forwards, since this game should be close, Covington should see 36 minutes or more.
LeBron James- $9,700 @WAS
I have never seen LeBron’s price below $10,000 before, but there is a first time for everything. Because of his price, FantasyLabs.com has LeBron rated as the highest player on Draftkings tomorrow. With Kyrie still out, that means all the touches are gonna go to Love and LBJ. LeBron’s consistency is what makes him an awesome play every single day. Lebron hasn’t put up less than 42 DK points yet this season. LeBron only needs 47 DK points to reach value tonight, which is a steal.
“The Sleeper Pick”- T.J. Warren
Power Forwards
Andrew Nicholson- $3,400 @MIN
I am proud to say I played Andrew Nicholson on Sunday night and he was 0.3% owned in my GPP contest! I don’t think I have ever seen a player below 1% ownership before. Sunday, Nicholson had 14 points, 8 rebounds, and 2 blocks in only 23 minutes on the court. Hopefully Scott Skiles takes notice and gives Nicholson more minutes. Nicholson is only $3,400 on Draftkings and there are not many good PF tonight. I recommend rostering Nicholson, then upgrading elsewhere.
“The Sleeper Pick”-Nerlens Noel
Centers
Marc Gasol- $7,100 vs. NO
Gasol hasn’t played up to his standards yet this year, but he is still an all-star and a very productive player. Gasol shot the ball only eight times last game, which is not very encouraging, but New Orleans can’t seem to defend anyone these days, especially the center position. Asik will not be able to handle Gasol down in the post, and the best part about Marc’s game is that he gets a ton of assists, he has had 11 in a game this year. He doesn’t need to score to be valuable.
Brook Lopez- $7,400 vs. PHO
Vegas has the Phoenix vs. Brooklyn as the highest scoring in tonight’s slate, which hopefully means a big day for Mr. Lopez. The Suns will be without Tyson Chandler tonight, which means Alex Len and Jon Leuer will take on a bigger role. Lopez should have a field day against the Phoenix’s backups. Lopez had 52.25 DK points against Drummond last game, imagine what he will do to Len tonight. Lopez is very cheap at $7,400, even though he has averaged 39 DK points/game this season. I would try and fit Gasol and Lopez into my lineup ASAP.
“The Sleeper Pick”- Alex Len
