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 Net | My top plays of the night at his position. |
| Dunk | A Dunk is a second or third tier player with the highest upside. |
| Half-Court Shot | Otherwise 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.

- All Wizard Guards is Bradley Beal is out
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:
- Derrick Favors (NO) $6,200 @ LAL
- 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.
