DraftKings DFS Guards
Isaiah Thomas – PG, vs LAC ($9,900)
Isaiah Thomas has been playing at an elite for quite some time now, and he’s averaging 34.9 points, 2.6 rebounds, 8.1 assists, and 1.3 steals per game over the last 10 days. He’s the focal point offense, and he has scored at least 35 points in each of his last four games. He gets a solid matchup against the Clippers, and Thomas will need to continue his hot streak to keep the Clippers in this game. It’s a small slate, and Thomas can be used in all leagues.
Spencer Dinwiddie – PG, vs TOR ($3,300)
Dinwiddie is an extremely cheap option, which is always needed on a small slate. He comes with solid upside for his price, but he is also extremely risky. He is averaging 9.8 points, 3.5 rebounds, and 2.5 assists per game over the last 10 days. He gets a solid matchup against the Raptors, and he has played well against them in three matchups this season. Dinwiddie can be used in all leagues because of the lack of options today.
DraftKings DFS Forwards
Blake Griffin – PF, at BOS ($8,600)
Griffin finally looks fully healthy, and he has been on fire recently. He has scored 50.5 and 50 fantasy points in his last two games, and he was able to contribute in each of the five categories in both games. He’s scoring at an elite rate for the Celtics, and he gets a great matchup against the Celtics tonight. He will continue to be a huge part of the Los Angeles offense, and he can be used in all leagues tonight.
Lucas Nogueira – PF/C, at BKN ($3,600)
Nogueira is a sneaky fantasy option on a nightly basis. He has scored at least 20 fantasy points in six of his last seven games that he has played at least 20 minutes. He is a player that comes with a great block rate, as he’s averaging 2.3 blocks in only 22.6 minutes per game over the last 10 days. He still comes with an extremely low price tag, and Nogueira can be used in all leagues on the small slate.
DraftKings DFS Centers
Steven Adams – C, vs POR ($5,600)
Adams has had his ups and downs since returning from injury, but he has scored 41.25 and 38.5 fantasy points in two of his last three games. He only scored 15 fantasy points in the third game, though, which shows how risky of a player he is. He comes with good double double potential with the ability to contribute in each category at some level. He gets a matchup against a fast paced Blazers team, and he’s an elite tournament option on this slate.
