Is it just me or is this rookie class much better than the last few years? Karl-Anthony Towns, Devin Booker, and Myles Turner have been lighting up the NBA recently, and they are three of the youngest players in the leagues. It's truly amazing.

DraftKings DFS Point Guards
Russell Westbrook (vs ORL, $11,000)
If you have the money to get Westbrook in your lineup, you would be wise to do so. He has bee playing unbelievably well recently, as he’s averaging 23.3 points, 9.7 rebounds, 10.7 assists, and 1.3 steals per game over the last 10 days. He’s coming off two consecutive triple doubles, and he gets a great matchup against the Magic, who have allowed a few huge games to scorers this season. Westbrook has a great combination of consistency and upside, and he can be used in all leagues.
Jeff Teague (at PHI, $5,900)
There have been rumors swirling that Teague is going to get traded, but it hasn’t affected his recent play. Over the last 10 days, he’s averaging 17.3 points, 2.2 rebounds, 5.7 assists, and 1.8 steals per game, including a huge 53.75 fantasy point performance in his last game. Teague gets a great matchup against the Sixers tonight, who he is averaging over a fantasy point per minute against in two games this season. Teague isn’t safe enough for cash games, but he has more than enough upside for GPPs.
DraftKings DFS Shooting Guards
Dwyane Wade (at DAL, $7,300)
Wade has been playing exceptionally well recently, as he’s averaging 23.6 points, 4.4 rebounds, 6.4 assists, 1.4 blocks, and 1.8 steals per game over the last 10 days. He gets a great matchup tonight against the Mavs, who have been one of the worst teams in the NBA against the shooting guard this season. Wade has been contributing in each of the five categories recently, and he possesses a great combination of upside and consistency. He can be used in all leagues tonight.
E’Twuan Moore (at SAC, $3,600)
It would be wise to get a part of the Bulls offense tonight, as they get a great matchup against a weak Kings defense. Moore is an extremely cheap way to get a part of their starters, as he has started in each of the last three games. He hasn’t been dominating in terms of fantasy, but he took 12 shots in his last game, and he doesn’t need many fantasy points to hit value tonight. He comes with a bit of risk, but he can be used in all leagues because of his low price tag.
DraftKings DFS Small Forwards
Kevin Durant (vs ORL, $10,400)
I constantly find myself using Westbrook and Durant on the same teams each night, and it has been working well recently. Over the last 10 days, Durant is averaging 31.3 points, 9.5 rebounds, and 5.2 assists per game. He gets a great matchup against the Magic, who have struggled to guard great scorers this season. I will be working Durant and Westbrook into my lineups once again tonight, and KD can be used in all leagues, regardless of whether you want to pair him with Westy or not.
Aaron Gordon (at OKC, $5,400)
If you have been living under a rock over the last few days, Aaron Gordon is in the middle of a huge breakout. Over the last 10 days, he’s averaging 12.0 points, 10.7 rebounds, and 2.3 assists per game, including a huge 12 point and 16 rebound double double against the Spurs in his last game. He has shown a decent amount of consistency over his last few games, and he has also flashed great upside. The Thunder don’t have a great defense, and Gordon should have no problems against them tonight. He can be used in all leagues.
DraftKings DFS Power Forwards
Paul Millsap (at PHI, $8,100)
Millsap has really been struggling since returning from injury, and the Hawks could use this easy matchup to get him back on pace. Millsap is averaging 19.5 points, 3.0 rebounds, 3.5 assists, 1.0 block, and 1.0 steal in only 24.5 minutes per game against the Sixers this season. Philly doesn’t have anyone that is going to be able to slow down Millsap, and he should be able to record stats as long as he’s in the game tonight. He does come with a bit of risk, though, so he’s best suited for GPPs tonight.
Jordan Hill (at BKN, $5,500)
Ian Mahinmi has been ruled out for tonight’s game, which means Jordan Hill is going to play big minutes once again. In his last two games, he has played a combined 74 minutes and he scored a total of 79.25 fantasy points. He gets a great matchup against the Nets, who he dominated earlier this season in limited minutes. Hill’s price is entirely too low for when he plays a full games worth of minutes, which should be the case tonight, and he can be used in all leagues.
DraftKings DFS Centers
Karl-Anthony Towns (at LAC, $8,200)
KAT’s price is on the rise, but he’s still a bit too cheap for how well he has been playing. Over the last 10 days, he’s averaging 22.4 points, 11.6 rebounds, 3.0 assists, 1.8 blocks, and 1.0 steal per game. He gets a good matchup against the Clippers, who have struggled against the center this season. KAT has been one of the hottest centers in the NBA recently, and he can be used in all leagues tonight.
