DraftKings DFS Guards
Rajon Rondo - PG, vs WAS ($6,500)
Rondo is coming off a bad game, but he has looked outstanding for the most part since the All Star Break. Aside from his last game, Rondo is averaging 39.6 fantasy points per game over his last five games. He is a player that comes with triple double potential, and he could see an increased usage rating with Anthony Davis doubtful tonight. Rondo also gets a good matchup against the Washington Wizards, and Rondo can be considered in all leagues tonight.
Dennis Schroder - PG, at IND ($6,200)
Schroder has struggled at times recently, causing his price tag to drop quite a bit. He has looked solid over his last five games, though, averaging 18.6 points, 4.0 rebounds, 5.0 assists, and 1.8 steals in only 29.3 minutes per game over that span. Schroder is a huge part of the the Atlanta offense, featuring a usage rating near 30%. Schroder comes with tremendous upside, and can be considered in all leagues for his price tag tonight.
Other DrafKings DFS Guards to Consider: C.J. McCollum, Jrue Holiday, Donovan Mitchell, Isaiah Thomas, Rodney Hood
DraftKings DFS Forwards
LeBron James - SF/PF, at LAC ($11,500)
It's tough to avoid James at this point. He comes with an extremely high price tag, but he has also scored 53+ fantasy points in more than 10 consecutive games. He has also been playing at an elite level over the last 10 days, averaging a 31.2/9.2/10.2/1.2 line in 37.4 minutes per game. He also gets a good matchup against the Los Angeles Clippers, who he scored 66 fantasy points against earlier this season. James can safely be plugged into all leagues tonight.
Bobby Portis - PF/C, at DET ($6,200)
Portis has been playing bigger minutes recently, and he has looked good in his extended time. On the season, he is averaging 1.19 fantasy points per minute, and he has flashed 50+ fantasy point upside. He gets a decent matchup against the Detroit Pistons, who have struggled against bigs at times this season. It is somewhat difficult to trust Portis in cash games, but he makes a great option in tournaments on this slate.
Other DraftKings DFS Forwards to Consider: Kevin Durant, Otto Porter, Will Barton, Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, Nikola Mirotic
DraftKings DFS Centers
Rudy Gobert - C, at MEM ($7,700)
Gobert has caught fire recently, averaging 21.5 points, 14.8 rebounds, 2.5 blocks, and 1.5 steals in 37.0 minutes per game over his last four games. Gobert gets a tough matchup against the Memphis Grizzlies tonight, but he has scored 45+ fantasy points in each of those four games. Surprisingly, his price tag has dropped tonight after sitting at $8.4K in his last game. Gobert does come with some risk, but he can still be used in all leagues tonight.
Other DraftKings DFS Centers to Consider: Marc Gasol, Andre Drummond, Julius Randle
