Who is ready to kick March off with a bang??? Let’s check out some of our favorite plays for March 1st, 2016!
Point Guards
Kemba Walker $7,700 @ PHO
Reasons to play Kemba Walker tonight:
- Phoenix gives up the MOST fantasy points to opposing point guards
- He’s relatively cheap at just $7,700 tonight
- The Hornets hold just a 1 game lead in the Eastern Conference standings and need an easy W at home.
- Kemba has scored 20+ PPG in 8 of his last 9 games.
- Did I mention he’s playing Phoenix?
Kemba is a ? in cash games tonight.
D’Angelo Russell $5,600 vs. BKN
Vegas predicts the O/U tonight at 214 combined points and has the Lakers winning by just a point, which makes for an excellent fantasy match-up: high-scoring and a close game. Russell has played extremely well over the last month or so and even had 22, 8, and 4 against Mike Conley and the Grizz just last week. D’Angelo has really turned his season around and is playing very good basketball as of late, averaging 28 FPPG over his last 5 games. Expect a big game from Russell against Larkin and Sloan tonight at Staples Center.

Sneaky GPP Play- Dennis Schroeder
Shooting Guards
Klay Thompson $7,600 vs. ATL
Curry is listed as a game-time decision tonight against the Hawks and if he is unable to go, Klay should see a ton of opportunities to score in a fast paced game in the Bay. The last time the Hawks and Warriors matched up, it was a fantasy goldmine. Klay had 42, Curry had 63, Horford had 70, even Dennis Schroeder had 31 fantasy points. If Curry is unable to go tonight, Klay should get the majority of his shot totals tonight against Atlanta.
Sneaky GPP Play- Mario Hezonja
Small Forwards
Chandler Parsons $6,600 vs. ORL
Parsons has been on ? ? ? as of late. He’s coming off a game against the
T-Wolves in which he had 46.5 fantasy points, but was only on the court for 27 minutes! In his one game against the Magic this season, Parsons dropped 46 DK points and shot the ball incredibly well (9 for 11 from the floor). The Magic had no answers for Parsons in their last match up and Orlando just gave up 118 points to the 76ers on Sunday.
Sneaky GPP Play- P.J. Tucker
Power Forwards
Aaron Gordon $6,800 @ DAL
Believe it or not, but the numbers don’t lie, Aaron Gordon is the most consistent player in fantasy right now, besides Steph Curry of course. In his last 9 games, Gordon hasn’t had a single game where he has scored less than 32 fantasy points. Here’s a list of players who can’t even say that:
Carmelo Anthony
Draymond Green
Kemba Walker
LeBron James
Dwyane Wade
Paul George
Gordon has been a double-double machine for the Magic since they traded away Tobias Harris. His price is a bit steep, but he has an excellent match-up tonight against the 37-year-old Nowitzki.
Sneaky GPP Play- Thomas Robinson
Centers
Pau Gasol $8,700 @ MIA
Pau is 35 years old and still playing some of the best basketball of his career. Last game against the Blazers, Pau had an incredible stat line of 22 points, 16 rebounds, 14 assists and 3 blocks! Pau has quietly had an incredible month for the Bulls, who barely hold on to a playoff spot, as they are just a 1/2 game up on the Pistons. With Butler and Rose out, Pau has done everything in his power to keep the Bulls in playoff contention, he’s averaging 51.1 fantasy points/game over his last 5 games and is just $8,700 on DraftKings tonight.
Hassan Whiteside $8,300 vs. CHI
Erik Spoelstra refuses to give Whiteside the starting job, most likely due to his poor attitude, but this move looks to be working quite well as Whiteside is averaging 49.9 fantasy points/game over his last 5 contests off the bench. Some players are motivated by not getting handed the starting role and it looks to be doing wonders for Whiteside. He leads the NBA in blocks/game(3.9/game) and the next closest contender is DeAndre Jordan averaging just 2.28 BPG. Chicago has struggled all season at defending centers, have to like the match-up tonight for Whiteside at home against the Bulls.
