DraftKings DFS Guards
Russell Westbrook – PG, vs SA ($12,900)
Westbrook has really been heating up recently, as he has scored 99.75, 74.75, and 75.75 fantasy points in his last three games. He has triple doubled in each of his last four games, and his price tag dropped a bit tonight because of the matchup against the Spurs. Westbrook has found success against San Antonio this season, though, as he’s nearly averaging a triple double against them in two matchups. He’s also a better fantasy option at home, and Westbrook can be used in all leagues.
Jeff Teague – PG, at TOR ($6,400)
Teague only played 20 minutes in his last game, but he had scored at least 40 fantasy points in four of his five games before that. He has proven to be a good scorer, who can add peripheral stats each night. He gets a good matchup against the Raptors tonight, and Teague scored 31 fantasy points in only 27.3 minutes against them earlier. He’s in a prime position to bounce back tonight, and he comes with a surprisingly low price tag. Teague can be used in all leagues.
T.J. McConnell – PG, at CLE ($6,200)
McConell is currently locked into big minutes because of the recent injury to Sergio Rodriguez. He has scored at least 30 fantasy points in each of his last six games with 30 or more minutes. He’s a player that can contribute in multiple categories, specifically points, assists, and steals. He gets a great matchup against the Cavs tonight, and McConnell’s price tag is only going to go up from here. He can still be used in all leagues for the time being.
DraftKings DFS Forwards
DeMarcus Cousins – PF/C, vs SAC ($9,600)
Cousins finally looks comfortable in the Pelicans offense, as he’s averaging 33.0 points, 12.7 rebounds, 4.0 assists, 2.3 blocks, and 1.0 steal per game over the last 10 days. He comes with an elite usage rating, and he can contribute in each of the five categories. He gets a great matchup against the Kings, and Cousins could be looking to make a statement against his former team. He still comes with quite a bit of risk, though, and he’s a tournament only option tonight.
Wilson Chandler – SF/PF, at CHA ($6,000)
Chandler has been a big part of the Nuggets offense this season, and he has looked good since returning from injury. He has scored at least 30 fantasy points in three of his four games since his return, although he did score only nine fantasy points against the Pelicans a couple games ago. He will be locked into big minutes again tonight, and he’s a player that can score fantasy points in a hurry. He gets an elite matchup against the Hornets tonight, and Chandler can be considered in all leagues tonight.
Tony Allen – SG/SF, vs DAL ($4,300)
Allen has been an extremely consistent player recently, and he still comes with a reasonable price tag. He can contribute in multiple categories, but he gets the majority of his fantasy points from defensive statistics. He has scored at least 20 fantasy points in seven of his last eight games. He has been playing fairly big minutes on a somewhat consistent basis, and he makes an elite salary relief option tonight.
DraftKings DFS Centers
Rudy Gobert – C, vs WAS ($8,200)
Gobert is coming off a “bad” game, but he’s still averaging 22.6 points, 15.4 rebounds, 1.2 assists, and 3.8 blocks per game over the last 10 days. He has scored at least 40 fantasy points in six of his last seven games, including a huge 65.25 fantasy point performance against the Knicks. Gobert is a walking double double with the potential for double digit blocks, as well. He gets an elite matchup against the Wizards, who will be looking to push the pace tonight, and Gobert can be used in all leagues tonight.
Al Horford – C, vs ORL ($6,700)
Horford is another center that struggled a bit in his last game, but he’s still averaging 12.8 points, 8.6 rebounds, 6.6 assists, and 1.4 steals per game over the last 10 days. He has been on fire for much longer than that, as he has scored at least 35 fantasy points in eight of his last nine games. He gets an elite matchup against the Magic tonight, and Horford has been a significantly better option at home this season. He can be used in all leagues tonight.
