NBA DFS – (DraftKings) Wednesday 12/19

 

What’s going on everyone? Thanks for coming back for tonight’s slate of NBA action, we have twelve games on the menu for this Wednesday night. There is going to be plenty of depth to pick from out of all these games we got going on.

Again welcome to everyone who is just tuning in after their fantasy football came to an end after that Saints-Panthers game last night. Not to sound like a D-bag but somehow I managed to make the championship while sitting Damien Williams and Kenny Golladay, hopefully, Melvin Gordon suits up this weekend or I do not stand a chance. Okay, enough about my fantasy team you could care less to hear about.

If you are new to my columns, I rank players as following Under “Shoot” I will have a player that I think is due for a good game. ” And 1” is a player that has a lower price with a high upside. The last one is” Airball” is the player that I believe is going to have a more challenging night due to the matchup.

Point Guard:

Shoot: Russell Westbrook (@ Kings)

Besides the fact that it’s Westbrook and he’s facing a Sacramento team who ranks 27th in OPRK. Russ has averaged 60.9 FPPG in two games against the Kings this season. His salary is a, flat $11,000 and he is averaging 55.2 FPPG this year, 57.3 in his last ten. Expect Mr. Westbrook to have another big night in Sacramento.

And 1: Marcus Smart (Vs. Suns)

Marcus Smart has a price of $4,900 and averaging 21.1 FPPG this year while playing 25.2 minutes per game. In his last ten contest, Smart has put up 26.2 DK points a game. Matched up against a Suns team who is ranked 18th in OPRK, I think Smart for this value is a hell of a play.

Airball: Emmanuel Mudiay (@ 76ers)

Mudiay is averaging 25 FPPG, with a salary of $6,400 this season. He has a tough matchup on paper since the Sixers are 4th in OPRK, also Mudiay only put up 5.8 DK points in the first meeting earlier this season. therefore, I will be fading him for this game.

Honorable Mentions: Stephen Curry ($11,000), Kyrie Irving ($9,100), Damian Lillard ($9,000)

Shooting Guard:

Shoot: James Harden (Vs. Wizards)

Considering the way the beard has been playing the last four games averaging 66.7 FPPG. All are coming in wins for the Rockets, and Harden is looking like the MVP he was last year. Earlier, in the season, Harden put up 89.0 DK points against the Wizards. His salary is priced at $11,400, considering the damage he has been doing in recent games and the first meeting against the Wizards, how do you not start the bearded one!?

And 1: Kris Dunn (Vs. Nets)

Going up against at Nets team who comes in at 29th ranked in OPRK and having a price at $6,300. Dunn is a solid play, averaging 24.6 FPPG in 27.6 minutes per game this year, Dunn, in his last ten games has slightly raised his FPPG to 27.2. I am a big fan of this matchup tonight.

Airball: Justin Holiday (Vs. Nets)

Holiday has a salary of $5,500 and so far this year is averaging 27.1 FPPG. He is facing a Brooklyn squad who’s ranked 2nd in OPRK, in his past ten contest Holiday has slightly regressed as well to 25.7 FPPG. With the matchup I am using Holiday as a fade, I do not feel comfortable with this game for him.

Honorable Mentions: Jrue Holiday ($8,600), Derrick Rose ($6,700), Victor Oladipo ($8,500)

Small Forward:

Shoot: Paul George (@ Kings)

In the first two meetings this season against Sacramento, PG13 has averaged 45.1 FPPG. With his salary priced at $8,900, and putting up 47.6 FPPG, George has been a stud all year from a fantasy perspective. I expect him to have another big game against the Kings tonight.

And 1: Jeremy Lamb (Vs. Cleveland)

Lamb has a salary of $5,800 going into the game versus the Cavaliers. Averaging 35.3 FPPG in the two meetings so far this season, for the season he has averaged 28.0 FPPG in 28.4 minutes per game.

Airball: Aaron Gordon (Vs. Spurs)

Gordon is priced at $6,900, putting up 32.9 FPPG this season. In his last ten games played Air Gordon is averaging 29.8 DK points, San Antonio is 9th in OPRK this season.

Honorable Mentions: Kevin Durant ($9,400), Ben Simmons ($8,800), Kawhi Leonard ($9,200)

Power Forward:

Shoot: Giannis Antetokounmpo (Vs. Pelicans)

This is a matchup all basketball fans are looking forward to seeing, The Greek Freak Vs. The Brow! Giannis is averaging 56.9 FPPG with a price of $11,100 while the Pelicans are ranked 22nd in OPRK. Expect the Greek Freak to have a big night.

And 1: Gordon Hayward (Vs. Suns)

Hayward is priced out at $5,600 while averaging 25.5 FPPG. He has a favorable match up being that the Suns are 25th in OPRK. Plus in the first meeting between the Suns and Celtics, Hayward only had 17.0 DK points.

Airball: Draymond Green (@ Jazz)

Draymond is averaging 30.8 FPPG with a salary of $6,400. The Jazz are ranked 1st in OPRK so I do not expect Draymond to have a huge night. Therefore, I am fading him.

Honorable Mentions: Blake Griffin ($9,600), LaMarcus Aldridge ($8,100) Lauri Markkanen ($7,400)

Center:

Shoot: Anthony Davis (@ Bucks)

I could not post them both under PF, I feel like Davis plays at the Center position more so the brow gets my pick at center. Averaging a beautiful 60.0 FPPG this season with a price of $11,600, Davis has a good matchup against Milwaukee who ranks 25th in OPRK.

And 1: Noah Vonleh (@ 76ers)

His salary is $5,400 and averaging a respectable 25.0 FPPG. Vonleh has a nice matchup as Philadelphia ranks 30th in OPRK. For the price Vonleh is going for I will be using him in my lineup as I think he has a decent game.

Airball: Enes Kanter (@ 76ers)

Averaging 34.2 FPPG this year and with a salary of $7,100. Kanter only finished with 24.0 DK points in the first meeting of the year against Philly. The Sixers also are ranked 6th in OPRK verse Centers this season.

Honorable Mentions: Joel Embiid ($10,200), Karl-Anthony Towns ($9,700), Andre Drummond ($9,100)
