FanDuel DFS Guards
Damian Lillard - PG, @ NOP ($9,900)
The point guard position is stacked with Damian Lillard leading the way and anticipated to put up some serious fantasy points against the Pelicans. The 28-year-old has played efficiently against New Orleans this season, averaging 25 points, seven assists, and six boards against them this year. This game won't be lacking any offense either as these clubs have combined for an average of 245.5 points in each of their last two meetings this season, making this an effective game to target on Friday night.
Kemba Walker - PG, @ WAS ($9,200)
In another game that will feature a healthy amount of scoring, Walker will be going up against a Wizards team that gives up a lot of points to the one, allowing 48.84 points per game, good for fourth-worst in the league. With these two teams attempting to keep their playoff hopes alive, expect their starting units to stay on the floor in a game that should be close until the final buzzer.
FanDuel DFS Forwards
Giannis Antetokounmpo - SF, @ MIA ($11,800)
With the Bucks looking to secure the top spot in the Eastern Conference, and LeBron James likely playing fewer minutes in the second game of back-to-back contests, Antetokounmpo should be the clear favorite at the three spot on Friday night. Though he only hit 36.3 fantasy points against the Pelicans a few nights ago, a duplicate performance of that magnitude against the Heat on Friday is highly unlikely. Get him in your lineup.
Anthony Davis - PF, vs. POR ($7,800)
Though there is a chance that Davis could sit out, which is something you want to keep an eye on throughout the day, he is still productive despite playing only around 20 minutes per game. If he suits up on Friday night, he will likely hit his value of 39 fantasy points with no trouble at all.
FanDuel DFS Centers
Ivica Zubac - C, @ DET ($5,500)
As the Lakers' playoff hopes dwindle, Zubac and the rest of the team's youngsters will continue to see more action. He has enjoyed a sizable amount of time on the floor as of late and could see more minutes on Friday seeing as the team is playing their second consecutive game.
