Guards James Harden FD - $10100 DK - $9800 Opponent - IND Proj Pts FD - 48.94 DK - 53.51 The 76ers are one of seven teams playing on a back-to-back tonight but no way we are ignoring the matchup as they are six-point favourites in a game with the third-highest total(234) on the slate. Let's start with James Harden who may not have the same upside as in the past but is still one of the most consistent PTS/$ producers in the league. It comes down to his contributions in almost every fantasy stat and has been especially good recently averaging a double-double on 22.7 points and 10.8 assists and with the addition of another 6.9 rebounds he has averaged 52 fantasy points a game since the break. Against a Pacers' team that ranks 26th in defensive efficiency, I will have a ton of exposure to Harden in all formats tonight. Bradley Beal FD - $9100 DK - $8600 Opponent - SAC Proj Pts FD - 43.94 DK - 47.26 It is a similar situation for Beal here as the Wizards are one of the teams playing on a back-to-back but the good news is that they are home as favourites in a game with a monster 236 total. Like Philly, they also get a plus matchup, as well, facing a Kings team that ranks 25th in defensive efficiency and 21st in fantasy points to guards. For Beal, the price is creeping back up and justifiably so as he has been very consistent lately averaging over 45 fantasy points over his last eight games on a very balanced attack(26 points, 5.5 rebounds, 6 assists, 2.4 blocks+steals). All things considered tonight, Beal is a core play for me in all formats. Malik Monk FD - $5400 DK - $4700 Opponent - WAS Proj Pts FD - 28.72 DK - 32 We are always looking for value and many times it comes in the form of opportunity due to injury. That is the case for the Kings as Kevin Huerter left Thursday's game with a knee injury and is highly questionable tonight. That would open up some added minutes for Malik Monk who could possibly get a spot start but either way has been a very consistent contributor off the bench recently. He has taken double-digit shots and tallied double-digit points in...

Guards Devin Booker FD - $10300 DK - $9900 Opponent - ORL Proj Pts FD - 49.58 DK - 50.95 This is a tougher slate tonight combining just five games, two of which have serious blowout potential, and then adding in a bunch of unknowns in terms of injuries and value plays. While Booker hasn't really flashed GPP winning upside on the regular, he has been a very consistent cash play night in and night out. He has been especially good since the break shooting 55% from the field on 23 shots per game while averaging 32.3 points, 6.1 assists, 4.4 rebounds, and just over 50 fantasy points a game. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander FD - $10600 DK - $9600 Opponent - TOR Proj Pts FD - 53.52 DK - 52.91 The big decision for me this early in the day is which guard to pay up as they have both been consistent, both have average matchups, and both have produced very similar lines since the break. I would say SGA comes with a little more risk as he has been dealing with injuries in the second half but when on the court, has crushed shooting 52% on 23 shots a game while averaging 36 points, 6.2 rebounds, and 4.6 assists and just 55 fantasy points per game across five games since the break. The matchup isn't at the top of the list but with a price still sitting south of $10K on DraftKings, I am on board in all formats. Spencer Dinwiddie FD - $8700 DK - $7900 Opponent - SAC Proj Pts FD - 36.05 DK - 37.33 The Nets are most definitely a team we have our eyes on tonight as they are small home favourites in a game with the highest total(237.5) on the slate. That is not the only thing that stands out as they also get a fantastic matchup against a Kings team that is 25th in defensive efficiency, 8th in pace, and also playing on a back-to-back on the road. For Dinwiddie, I was a bit concerned as the game before and after the break were complete duds but the good news is that he has picked it up considerably almost averaging a double-double(20.1 points, 9.3 assists) over his last nine game while providing us 40+ fantasy points in five of his last six. All things...

We got what we expected last week at the PLAYERS with water balls, high volatility, withdraws(Rahm smh), and a very wide range of scoring. In the end, it was Scottie Scheffler running away with it on Sunday and picking up his second win of the season. This week marks the final event of the Florida Swing as the tour heads to Innisbrook Resort and the Copperhead Course for the 2023 Valspar Championship. The overall field strength is similar to last year and expected after a big tournament like the PLAYERS. The field is led by World #9 Justin Thomas who is joined by six others(Fitzpatrick, Burns, Spieth, Keegan, Harman, Fleetwood) ranked inside the Top 25 in the Official World Golf Rankings. While not quite as tough of test as TPC Sawgrass last week, the Copperhead course plays similar in that it's a positional course with danger lurking on almost every hole. While you would think we would see similar volatility and less weight on course history, that has not been the case as Sam Burns returns as back-to-back champion which followed Paul Casey who won here in back-to-back seasons. My stats model this week will be similar to last in that Strokes Gained: Approach is at the top and once again golfers can gain a ton of strokes on the field on the Par 5's putting Par 5 Scoring and Par 5 Birdie or Better right a close second. When looking at par 4 scoring using the Fantasy National tools, I will also look at performance in the 400-450 yard range as five of the nine fall into that range. I will then combine that stats model with my course history and current form model. With that, let's take a look at the course, info, and previous winners, and then dive into the picks! The Course Innisbrook Resort...

Guards Trae Young FD - $9900 DK - $9400 Opponent - MIN Proj Pts FD - 46.43 DK - 50.43 We get three games tonight with monster totals and close spreads and I am going to start in Atlanta with one of the most consistent fantasy guards in the league. Going back to the start of February(15 games), Trae has been averaging a double-double on 26.2 points and 10.7 assists and has tallied 45 of more fantasy points in 13 of those games while just over 50! While the T-Wolves are 10th in overall defensive efficiency, they do struggle against guards giving up the fourth most fantasy points to the position. All things considered, Trae is my favourite payup at the guard position and in play in all formats. Killian Hayes FD - $6400 DK - $5700 Opponent - IND Proj Pts FD - 36.18 DK - 38.38 This game doesn't fall into "high total" category but it sure checks the opportunity and value boxes as the Pistons will be short-handed once again on Monday with Burks and Ivey out again. It was Killian Hayes stepping up in the Pistons' most recent game taking 17 shots and while he only made seven for 17 points he added 13 assists for a double-double and 49 DraftKings points. I am not expecting another ceiling game but it is in the cards as he faces a Pacers team that ranks 25th in defensive efficiency for the season and 26th over the last five games. Fire up Hayes in all formats. Tim Hardaway Jr. FD - $5800 DK - $6400 Opponent - MEM Proj Pts FD - 32.06 DK - 35.59 Jaden Hardy FD - $4500 DK - $4000 Opponent - MEM Proj Pts FD - 30.3 DK - 33.41 With Luka still out and Kyrie questionable on Monday we get some more value at the guard position. Let's start with Hardaway who has responded in a big way to getting more volume recently as he is shooting 56% from the field(59% from three) across four straight games receiving double-digit shot attempts. That has led to an average of 35 fantasy points a game in that small sample. If Kyrie is ruled out for a second straight game, I think we can also go back to Hardy who started on Saturday, played 37 minutes, dropped...

Guards Devin Booker FD - $10400 DK - $9900 Opponent - SAC Proj Pts FD - 48.21 DK - 49.8 We have a larger slate for a Saturday and a lot of good spots but let's start with the late game that also brings us the highest total(238.5) on the slate and a game that is expected to stay close(PHO -3). This is a perfect recipe for fantasy scoring and I will start my core with Devin Booker who checks all the boxes. He comes in red-hot since the break shooting 55% from the field(48% on the season) on 23.3 shots a game and has provided us 51 FD/53 DK points per game. He now faces a Kings team that is 25th in defensive efficiency while running a Top 10 pace. Despite the rising price, Booker is in play for me in all formats. Kelly Oubre Jr. FD - $7900 DK - $7800 Opponent - UTA Proj Pts FD - 37.52 DK - 39.48 The system is not nearly as high on Oubre as it has been due to the price approaching $8K on both sites but I am still on board considering the plus matchup tonight. Since re-joining the starting five, in the absence of Lonzo Ball, Oubre has been terrific shooting 47.3% on 18 shots for 25.2 points a game and with the addition of seven rebounds, he is averaging 39.6 DK/38.1 FD points per game. This is another game with a higher total(231) that is expected to stay close(CHA -2.5) and jazz are not only 21st in defensive efficiency, they are allowing the 2nd most fantasy points to guards this season. Lock and load with Oubre in all formats. Tim Hardaway Jr. FD - $5600 DK - $5300 Opponent - MEM Proj Pts FD - 28.02 DK - 29.7 The Mavericks look like they will be a bit short-handed tonight with Luka already ruled out and Kyrie is sitting with a questionable tag. Despite the tough matchup against the Grizzlies, this injury news does open up some much-needed value and it's THJ at the top of my list. With those guys in the lineup, he has played very well in the short-term shooting 57% on 35 shots over the last three games while averaging over 34 fantasy points. While the upside could be capped if the Mavs get...
