Make sure you keep an eye out on Twitter as his status determines a lot about this slate.

DraftKings DFS Guards
Russell Westbrook - PG, HOU @ MIA ($9,100)
Westbrook is the clear-cut top point guard option in all formats. He’s been great to start the year next to Harden, averaging 55 fantasy points with close to a triple-double every game. The Heat only have one great defender in Jimmy Butler (questionable) and he will be on James Harden. Westbrook should be able to do whatever he likes against Goran Dragic and Kendrick Nunn. Westbrook isn’t too expensive on either site and you can play him in all formats.
Kendrick Nunn - PG/SG, MIA vs. HOU ($5,700)
The price is really going to have to come up if the sites want us to fade Kendrick Nunn. The guy doesn’t care who’s on the floor. He’s going to shoot the ball and he’s going to shoot a ton. He’s held a record through the first five games for the most points out of a rookie and will look to keep it up against a fast-paced Rockets team. Nunn is an easy play at point guard.
DraftKings DFS Forwards
LeBron James - SF/PF, LAL @ SA ($9,300)
We may not see that 88-point LeBron James for a few months, but he’s going to put up 60 regularly and his price is fair on both sites. He matches up with the Spurs tonight, who have been playing faster and will likely put Rudy Gay on LeBron. It’s 2019, so we’re going to give a hard pass on being worried about the defense of Rudy Gay. The 219 total is the second-highest on the slate, so don’t look to avoid this game. They’re going to score points and LeBron will have close to another triple-double. He’s a solid option in all formats.
Bojan Bogdanovic - SF/PF, UTA @ LAC ($5,300)
Bogdanovic is actually a lot safer than many like to imagine. He's surely reliant on his three-point shot, but it’s a consistently reliable shot. He gets five-plus of them a game and has always been over a 30% shooter. The Jazz have a perfect offense for Bogdanovic as he can just sit himself on the wing and wait for an open jumper. He gets himself involved with peripherals and know how to fill out a stat sheet. His price is still way too cheap around the industry.
DraftKings DFS Centers
Montrezl Harrell - PF/C, LAC vs. UTA ($6,000)
I don’t think Ivica Zubac will have much success with the likes of Rudy Gobert down low. I don’t think Harrell will be great either, but he’s a bit stronger and should be able to hold position a bit better. He’s also a better PnR player, and the Jazz can struggle with it. Harrell is certainly risky against a tough Jazz interior, but Harrell is in play across the board.
