DraftKings DFS Guards
Donovan Mitchell - PG/SG, at MIN ($7,300)
Mitchell continues to play at a high level, but his price tag does not truly represent that. Over that last 10 days, Mitchell is averaging 25.2 points, 2.6 rebounds, 4.6 assists, and 2.2 steals (40.2 fantasy points) in 37.4 minutes per game. He has struggled against the Minnesota Timberwolves at times this season, but Mitchell is cheap enough to be considered in all leagues on this slate tonight.
Shelvin Mack - PG/SG, at ATL ($4,500)
Mack has been playing extremely well recently, averaging 25.6 fantasy points per game over his last six games. He is also averaging 27.3 minutes per game over his last three games, and he is expected to see similar minutes tonight. He gets a great matchup against the Atlanta Hawks, who have struggled defensively, as well Mack is not going to score 40+ fantasy points, but he is a safe option that allows you to get some of the higher priced, higher upside players.
Other DraftKings DFS Guards to Consider: Jamal Murray, Damian Lillard, Ricky Rubio
DraftKings DFS Forwards
Anthony Davis - PF/C, vs OKC ($11,100)
Davis' recent inconsistencies have caused his price tag to drop, and now he is a bit too cheap. Even with recent struggles, he is averaging 54.7 fantasy points per game over the last 10 days. Davis has also scored as high as 75 fantasy points over his last 10 games. Furthermore, he is averaging a 39.5/12.5/1.5/1.5/1.5 line against the Thunder this season. Davis is not exactly a safe option, but his price tag is extremely appealing tonight.
Harrison Barnes - SF/PF, at CLE ($6,200)
Barnes has been enjoying a solid season for the Mavs, and he is averaging 19.0 points, 4.8 rebounds, and 2.4 assists per game over the last 10 days. Barnes is one of the top scoring options for Dallas, and he gets an elite matchup against the Cleveland Cavaliers, who feature one of the worst defenses in the NBA this season. Barnes still comes with a reasonable price tag, and he can be considered in all leagues.
Other DraftKings DFS Forwards to Consider: Paul George, Mike Muscala, Allen Crabbe
DraftKings DFS Centers
Rudy Gobert - C, at MIN ($7,500)
Gobert has somewhat cooled off over his last few games, but he is still averaging 39.4 fantasy points per game over his last 10 games. He is a double double machine that has the potential to contribute in each of the five categories. He is also averaging an 18.0/14.5/0.5/3.0/1.5 line against Minnesota in two matchups this season. Gobert is a better option at home, but he can still be considered in all leagues for his current price tag tonight.
Other DraftKings DFS Centers to Consider: Nikola Jokic, Dragan Bender, Jarrett Allen
