I will attach the spreadsheet to it on days I have time, so be sure to check back if you don’t see the sheet below this intro.

Without further ado, today’s slate…

NBA DFS Legend

Nothing But NetMy top plays of the night at his position.
DunkA Dunk is a second or third tier player with the highest upside.
Half-Court ShotOtherwise known as a “punt play.” A Low-priced, high-upside player.
Blocked Shot A player I’ll be avoiding. Otherwise known as “Fading.”

**Main Slate

Guards

Nothing But Net | Damian Lillard (POR) $9,700 @ WAS

The Wizards give up 60.44 DraftKings points to opposing PGs, fourth-most in the league. The Vegas lines aren’t up as I write this, but this should have a high game total, and as long as the Blazers don’t get up big on Washinton, there will be a lot of fantasy points scored in this game.

Dunk | Devin Booker (PHO) $7,900 vs. NYK

Booker has four straight games of 44 or more DraftKings points. The crazy thing is, he is doing it without hitting the three. He is 3-for-27 over his last 8 games and is shooting 15 percent from downtown. A career 35 percent shooter from beyond the arc, there is some positive regression coming soon — maybe tonight.

Half-Court Shot | J.J. Redick (NO) $3,400 @ LAL

The Pelicans/Lakers game is my favorite game to target on this slate. The Pels come into L.A. riding a four-game winning streak, their longest of the season, and if they are to keep pace with the Lakers they will need Redick to knock down the 3-ball. If the Lakers have a defensive weakness it’s giving up 3-pointers. They have allowed teams to shoot 37 percent from three, ranking them 20th, and they give up the 25th most 3-pointers made.

Blocked Shot | Jrue Holiday (NO) $7,400 @ LAL

Holiday plays the two more often than he does the one and the Lakers are the second-best team in terms of DraftKings points allowed to shooting guards.

Forwards

Nothing But Net | Brandon Ingram (NO)$7,800 @ LAL

This will be Ingram’s first trip into L.A. since being traded in the blockbuster offseason move that brought Anthony Davis to the West Coast. There is a bit a revenge narrative to follow here, but Ingram has been playing better than expected so far this season.

Dunk | Tobias Harris (PHI) $6,600 @ HOU

Harris has struggled a bit over the last few games, but a high-paced game against the Rockets who give up the eighth-most points to his position could help him break the slump.

Half-Court Shot | Wes Iwundu (ORL) $3,100 vs. MIA

The Magic have some injuries and Iwundu has benefited. It’s a tough matchup with the Heat, but at $3,100 he is a great value that should log decent minutes.

Blocked Shot | Anthony Davis (LAL) $10,200 vs. NO

Davis hasn’t played like a $10,000-plus player of late and I don’t think he will again tonight despite playing his former team.

Others I Like:

  1. Derrick Favors (NO) $6,200 @ LAL
  2. Dario Saric (PHO) $3,700 vs. NYK

Centers

Nothing But Net | Julius Randle (NY) $7,700 @ PHO

Randle has been absolutely killing it lately with four straight games of 48 or more DraftKings points, including a 61-point explosion against the Wizards. The Suns give up the seventh-most DraftKings points to Randle’s position of PF/C.

Dunk | Enes Kanter (BOS) $5,500 vs. ATL

The Hawks are second to last in points allowed to centers and he is coming off one of his best games of the season.

Half-Court Shot | NONE

Blocked Shot | Joel Embiid (PHI) $9,400 @ HOU

Believe it or not, the Rockets are a very good defensive team when it comes to defending the center, in fact, they are ranked No. 1 — giving up 32.14 DraftKings points on average.
