Point Guard Russell Westbrook FD - $12800 DK - $12700 Opponent - BOS Proj Pts FD - 59.88 DK - 63.75 On a slate where OKC plays it's familiar territory for me to tell you that Westbrook projects as our top scoring option of the night. He's definitely a viable option to anchor your cash line-ups but the upward trending price has to make you wonder if that is truly the optimal way to go. I'm not saying it is or it isn't, depending on if enough value opens up; all I'm saying is that you might be able to squeak out a few more points salary-wise by putting in two mid-tier options. Well, enough with that. Russell needs no introduction even my mom is aware that he is having an unprecedented and groundbreaking year. He's scored 67, 73 and 81 points in his last 3 match-ups and it's highly probable he reaches those thresholds once again. The match-up is fairly neutral as Boston ranks 15th against point guards. Just be aware that on a 14 game slate nobody is definitively a must play and even though Westy is going to  put up some digits, be cognizant of the other available options. Goran Dragic FD - $7500 DK - $7400 Opponent - NO Proj Pts FD - 38.09 DK - 40.63 The man with the magic, Goran Dragic! Playing nowadays with a chip on his shoulder it seems. I'm pretty sure I just saw him try to trip someone in a game the other day. Well let's get down to brass tacks. Dragic is squaring up with Jrue Holiday and the Pels who just got ran through by Westbrook and company and rank 18th against the PG position. In a match-up I consider respectively neutral expect Dragic to stay the course and keep putting up the stat-lines needed for the Heat to be competitive. The last 5 games he's returned value on his salary 5.7x averaging 41 fantasy points a game. In a competitive game environment we should certainly see the man Goran hanging around that 40 fp marker. Isaiah Thomas FD - $8200 DK - $7900 Opponent - OKC Proj Pts FD - 40.82 DK - 43.4 Thomas vs. Westy showdown! This should be a...

We've got you completely covered. Point Guard Russell Westbrook FD - $12700 DK - $12600 Opponent - NO Proj Pts FD - 63.05 DK - 67.05 Mr. Triple Double needs no formal introduction. The system likes him so he's definitely in play. Haha, no but seriously he has come in red hot these last couple of games putting up an absolutely insane 154 points sans Oladipo. And somehow, after scoring over 70 points last game his price has decreased $200 on DraftKings. Tomorrow he gets a tasty matchup with the Pelicans who are a middle of the pack team ranked 15th against point guards. Even though I don't currently have the spread it's an absolute no brainer that this will be a fast paced high scoring affair with these teams being ranked 4th/5th in possessions per game. (103) Westbrook should be a cash game staple for you tomorrow if you want to remain competitive. Jrue Holiday FD - $6800 DK - $6700 Opponent - OKC Proj Pts FD - 34.57 DK - 36.91 Holiday will be going up against Westbrook tomorrow. And if you follow the NBA at all, (hope you do) you obviously know that most of Westy's energy is exerted on the offensive side of the ball. Oklahoma ranks 19th against point guards and I expect that Holiday will be active on offense, especially from beyond the arc. Either way this game will be up-tempo and high scoring with no shortage of fantasy production. Jrue is definitely a viable option and should be considered when constructing line-ups tomorrow. Kyrie Irving FD - $7300 DK - $7500 Opponent - MIL Proj Pts FD - 35.99 DK - 38.6 If Kevin Love remains out of the line-up I really like Kyrie again. It's nothing new to DFS players that when Love sits, Lebron is a lock. Witnessed by his 85% ownership in cash games on DraftKings tonight. But Kyrie also sees quite an uptick in usage at the rate of 37.9% generating 1.2 fantasy points a minute without the on court help of Love. I'm definitely keeping an eye on the status of Love and keeping Kyrie on my short list for cash and tournaments tomorrow night. Shooting Guard Giannis Antetokounmpo FD - $10200 DK - $9700 Opponent - CLE...

We've got you completely covered. Point Guards John Wall FD - $9800 DK - $8900 Opponent - DET Proj Pts FD - 49.05 DK - 52.03 Wall’s been playing minutes in the high 30’s of late and that, almost alone, puts him a but above the rest of the point guard crown tonight. The Bulls are a bad matchup for opposing point guards which does even out the run some, but Wall’s usage has been at a season high of late. He’s averaging 22 shots per game over the last five (one game did go to OT) and he’s averaging an elite 29/8/4 line in that time. He’s getting to the line a ton too, over 8 times per game in the short term. This is all to say he’s just handling more of the offensive load and his usage ticks up some too if Markieff Morris sits again. He’s getting expensive on FanDuel at close to 10K, but it might be tough pairing up two out of the three big boys (Beard, Brow, Boogie) making Wall an interesting way to fill out lineups. Andrew Harrison FD - $4100 DK - $4100 Opponent - SAC Proj Pts FD - 22.77 DK - 24.85 This is a situation to keep a close eye on. The Grizz waived Harrison’s backup Toney Douglas yesterday which suggests that Mike Conley is pretty close to getting back on the court. But it’s hard to imagine the latter plays anything close to significant minutes even if he did come back. Harrison’s 20 minutes last game were a direct result of a rare point guard foul out. I think with lack of a backup and Conley just coming back (at best) Harrison is still in line for low 30’s minutes as the floor. He’s not a great player or anything, but his production is more than enough at these prices if he sees the floor time. As a starter he’s getting up just a tick under double digit looks per game and does chip in on the defensive end. Mostly just a price play to get some of the bigger money guys in. Sergio Rodriguez FD - $5000 DK - $5000 Opponent - LAL Proj Pts FD - 25.21 DK - 27.42 Point guard strikes me as...

We've got you completely covered. Point Guard John Wall FD - $9700 DK - $8600Opponent - CHAProj Pts FD - 47.37 DK - 50.16 Wall is simply underpriced relative to his established floor, especially on DraftKings where he would need to eclipse 44 points to reach his value threshold. And, he has honestly become a model of consistency, giving fantasy owners 50 burgers in 6 out of his last 8 games. On a big slate with a bunch of uncertainty, you can easily consider Wall a viable option in all formats. In a game with a healthy implied total of 212 in which Vegas figures to be the most competitive on the slate, look for Wall to get all the run he can handle. The micro match-up in and of itself is less than ideal with Charlotte ranking 5th against point guards. But, on the other side of the coin, consider that Wall is averaging 36.2 minutes per game and averaging 1.3 fantasy points a minute. This gives way to a healthy floor and ceiling which we saw plenty of versus Orlando four games ago where he went ballistic and dropped 75 fantasy points. He is definitely going to see some action in my cash game line-ups. Goran Dragic FD - $7400 DK - $7300Opponent - INDProj Pts FD - 34.81 DK - 37.21 He certainly has been heating up lately, pun intended. I rarely have an issue rostering a guy on a "heater" as opposed to a guy slumping. In the last 5 games, Dragic is averaging 39.8 fantasy points and returning value to the tune of 5.4x. I like him in this up-tempo match-up because despite the slow pace, the Heat often run their offense in and Dragic thrives in fast paced game environments. Add to this the fact that Indiana is one of the worst teams in the league against point guards (25th). This gives me another reason to strongly consider him in all formats as an elite mid-tier selection. Andrew Harrison FD - $4200 DK - $4300Opponent - CLEProj Pts FD - 22.16 DK...

Point Guards Russell Westbrook FD - $12700 DK - $12800 Opponent - HOU Proj Pts FD - 58.69 DK - 62.54 AKA the triple double machine fantasy monster will be featured in a game with a 225 implied total between two teams for the sake of professional courtesy are “below average” at defense. No matter the format you’re going to NEED to get some mild to moderate exposure to this shoot-out! He is currently rocking a 39% usage on the season and scoring almost 2 fantasy points a minute. Just writing that took me aback a little. Sooner or later his price is going to rise to a point where the floor and ceiling don’t converge in the nicest of ways. However it isn’t there just yet, so if you can find some high point per dollar value plays, enough to comfortably consider his incredibly high floor for cash you’re going to have to do what you probably have been doing all season. ROSTER HIM! Brandon Jennings FD - $4800 DK - $5300 Opponent - SAC Proj Pts FD - 25.1 DK - 27.48 Well Derrick Rose is currently questionable and with his large injury history I think they play it safe and give him another games rest. If this in fact ends up becoming the case Jennings would instantly emerge as an industry wide value and chalk pick for cash. Jennings is a baller and a good one at that, in fact he used to start for the Pistons back in the day. Being one of the best back-up guards in the league I don’t think you really even think about plugging him in or not. It’s kind of automatic like the fact that if Rose is out of the picture Carmelo is gonna chuck up 25-30 shots. Although the context of playing without Rose on the court is different because he’s injured not alternating units his usage still rises 4.5 % points and there is ever the so slightest uptick of fantasy product.
