DraftKings Point Guards
Stephen Curry (vs DEN, $10,300)
When Curry is playing, I’m going to be recommending him. It’s silly to not give him consideration this season. No one in the NBA is good enough to stop him, and he’s averaging 57.6 fantasy points per game this season. He’s averaging a ridiculous 1.82 fantasy points per minute this season, and he gets a great matchup against the Nuggets, who love playing at an extremely fast pace, but they also hate playing defense. Curry is extremely safe, and he has great upside if the Nuggets can keep this game close. Curry can be used in all leagues.
Darren Collison (vs HOU, $4,700)
Collison hasn’t been putting up huge fantasy games this season, but he has been extremely consistent, and he comes with a low price tag. He has scored between 21 and 28 fantasy points in every game, and he may start again with Cousins out tonight. Collison should see minutes in the low-30s, as he gets a good matchup against the Rockets, who love to push the pace of games. Collison is an extremely safe option, but he does also have good upside. Still, he’s best suited for cash games.
DraftKings Shooting Guards
Victor Oladipo (vs TOR, $7,700)
Oladipo has taken a step forward this season, as he’s averaging 16.2 points, 8.2 rebounds, and 4.6 assists per game. He gets a great matchup against the Raptors, who have been an average team in the NBA against shooting guards. Oladipo is averaging 51.5 fantasy points per game at home this season, which is a small sample size, but still something to look at. He isn’t going to come cheap, but he can be used in all leagues tonight.
Nik Stauskas (at CLE, $4,100)
There’s very little reason to avoid Stauskas right now. He’s playing heavy minutes for the Sixers, and he has been hitting value each night. He’s a streaky shooter, and he has yet to really catch fire in a game thus far. Once he does that, he could score 20+ points along with some added rebounds and assists. He gets a good matchup against the Cavs, and the Sixers will be forcing the ball to Stauskas, as he’s their best shooter. He can be used in all leagues until his price comes up.
DraftKings Small Forwards
Marcus Morris (at PHO, $6,100)
Morris gets the revenge game tonight, and he has been on fire this season. He’s averaging a strong 17.3 points and 7.5 rebounds per game. He’s also playing 38.2 minutes per game for the Pistons, which makes him more of a safe option. The Suns love pushing the pace, which will give Morris more opportunities to score fantasy points, and he has 40+ fantasy point upside. He has shot the ball at least 10 times in every game this season, and Morris can be used in all leagues.
Evan Fournier (vs TOR, $5,200)
While guys like Morris can be used in all leagues, Fournier should be used in all leagues. His price is ridiculous for his production, and he should be priced much closer to $7,000-8,000. Aside from his first game, Fournier has played 42.3 minutes per game this season, while recording 39.5 fantasy points per game. He gets a good matchup against the Raptors, who have been an average defense against the small forward, as well. Simply put, play Fournier.
DraftKings Power Forwards
Paul Millsap (at NO, $7,800)
Millsap is one of the safest players in the NBA, as he has scored between 33 and 45 fantasy points in each of his six games this season. Millsap gets a great matchup against the fast paced Pelicans, which should give him plenty of opportunities to score fantasy points tonight. He is averaging 14.7 points, 9.0 rebounds, 4.0 assists, and 2.5 steals per game. Millsap may not be the best tournament option on the board, but he’s a great cash game play.
Julius Randle (at BKN, $6,400)
Randle is one of my favorite tournament options, as he has great upside, but his foul troubles have kept his price down a bit. Just two games ago, Randle recorded 57.25 fantasy points, which is slightly higher than Anthony Davis has recorded in any of his games. Randle is over $4,000 cheaper than the Brow, which is part of why he’s a great tournament play. Still, the game before that, Randle was in quick foul trouble and ended up scoring only 4.5 fantasy points. He looks great when he’s on the court, but his minutes can range from 30+ to under-20 depending on his fouls.
DraftKings Centers
Andre Drummond (at PHO, $8,900)
Drummond is the clear-cut top center option tonight. If you need convincing, he’s averaging 20.3 points and 19.5 rebounds per game this season. That’s in four games, and those 19.5 rebounds are correct. He has recorded 19 or more rebounds in three of his four games this season, and he has also scored over 18 points in each game. He’s one of the safest options, and he should be used in all leagues.
