DraftKings DFS Guards
Eric Bledsoe - PG, MIL @ CHI (DK - $7,000)
Bledsoe has been crushing it lately and his price truly hasn't changed that much, so we want to jump on this production while we can. He has posted 38 DraftKings points or more in three of his last four games and is now up against the Bulls, who are giving up 47 DK points per game to point guards this season. Bledsoe comes in producing 1.16 fantasy points per minute this season, which should be in the cards tonight since we should be in for a higher scoring game, but don't have a line as of now.
Jordan Clarkson - SG, CLE vs NY (DK - $5,200)
Clarkson certainly isn't the most exciting player to be rostering in NBA DFS, but he isn't expensive tonight and comes in with a super soft matchup today. He is facing off against the Knicks, who are giving up 44 DraftKings points per game to shooting guards this season, which is the third worst in the league. The Cavs do have Kevin Love back in the lineup, but he played only six minutes in his first game back and should be on a minutes limit moving forward. Clarkson has a 29% usage rate and producing 1.00 fantasy points per minute this season, making him a great point per dollar play tonight.
DraftKings DFS Forwards
Jeremy Lamb - SF, CHA @ IND (DK - $5,300)
Lamb is cooking right now with 29 DraftKings points or more in three of his last four games, which is honestly amazing production from a player at his price point. He is breaking 5x value in all of those games, which is something you should be looking for in all of your players. Tonight, he is up against the Pacers in a game where the over-under is only set at 217 points, but he should still be able to reach value since he has played 26 minutes or more in four straight.
Dario Saric - PF, MIN vs LAC (DK - $4,400)
The Timberwolves are dealing with a number of injuries right now, which should put Saric in a spot for plenty of minutes, as he has 25 or more in two of his last three. The Clippers are giving up 48 DraftKings points per game to power forwards this season, which Saric probably won't fully reach, but with him producing 0.82 fantasy points per minute this season, he will be able to put up solid fantasy numbers at under $5K.
DraftKings DFS Centers
Marc Gasol - C, TOR vs BKN (DK - $7,000)
Gasol didn't have the best first game with his new team, as he only posted 21 points, but that came in 19 minutes so at least the point per minute production was there. Hopefully, he will see an increase in his minutes tonight since the matchup is so favorable going up against the Nets, who are 18th in defensive efficiency versus centers this season. Gasol has played the Nets two time when he was with Memphis and was able to average 43 DraftKings points in those two games.
