Point Guard/ Shooting Guard Trae Young FD - $10100 DK - $10000Opponent - DETProj Pts FD - 57.24 DK - 61.81 Dejounte Murray FD - $7900 DK - $8700Opponent - DETProj Pts FD - 46.24 DK - 48.4 The Hawks face the Pistons, who have lost one million games in a row at this point, and one has to believe that no team in the league wants that streak to end on their watch. It feels like that is going to be the case going forward and the Hawks end up in a great spot here. Even thinking about stacking these two guards on this slate would make sense, considering the matchup. The Pistons play the fifth-worst defense in the league and run a top-5 pace. That’s coming close to the sweet spot for where we want to be in cash games. Trae Young is the highlight here, and you’ll have to pay top-tier prices. But he’s averaging career-highs with 28 points and 10.8 assists a game. There isn’t as much for Dejounte Murray after that, but the 20/ 5.5 / 4.4 line with nearly two blocks + steals does get the job done on FanDuel, at least in this pricing tier. Cade Cunningham FD - $8200 DK - $8200Opponent - ATLProj Pts FD - 38.39 DK - 42.45 Speaking of great DFS matchups, the Pistons arguably get an even better one (than playing themselves) going the other direction with the Hawks on Monday. Atlanta has the second-worst defense in the league with the second-fastest pace. This game has the second-highest total on the slate (243.5), though Atlanta is -11 favorites, which (again) puts the Pistons in the blowout zone. But if you think there’s any way they keep things close-ish then there is upside on Cade Cunningham’s price. He’s getting up 19 shots per game, shooting better from three and getting to the line as well. The team stinks, but he’ s a DFS play for sure. Injury news and notes If Tyrese Haliburton is out then T.J. McConnell (FD 5800 DK 6300) is a play once again on both sites, but especially on FanDuel. Keon Ellis (FD 3600 DK...

Point Guard/ Shooting Guard Tyrese Haliburton FD - $10900 DK - $11300Opponent - WASProj Pts FD - 58.41 DK - 63.03 We’ve had some ridiculous totals of late, usually involving Indiana, and this is another one. Pacers - Wizards comes in with a 258.5 over/under, and you will want to have at least a piece of the action here. Of course, a big reason for this is Indiana’s pace, which ranks first in the league. And then there is Washington’s second-fastest pace. Put those together, and you are going to get an absolute track meet of a game. Tyrese Haliburton is the story here for the Pacers, averaging 26 points, 12 assists, and four rebounds on the season. His price is through the roof, but you won’t find him in a better game environment than this one. He’s a tough fade on this slate. Dennis Schröder FD - $6600 DK - $6300Opponent - ATLProj Pts FD - 36.75 DK - 39.73 The Hawks and Raptors played the other night, and the game went to the moon, finishing with a 135-128 Toronto win. Now they’ll run it back, and we could see a lot of scoring once again. Dennis Schröder comes in as a good DraftKings play at $6300 and is coming off running 36 minutes against Atlanta. He finished with 17 points and seven assists. The floor is high here considering the projected pace-up spot for the Raptors and he offers a way to get exposure to this game with the middle-tier salary. Other Notes There is quite a bit of injury news out there as of this writing. We will need to keep an eye out for a bunch of players moving in or out of lineups. If Zion Williamson sits, then CJ McCollum (FD 7900 DK 7600) and Brandon Ingram (FD 8400 DK 8200) would be great cash game plays once again. Similarly, if Lebron James sits again, then D'Angelo Russell (FD 6800 DK 7100) and Austin Reaves (FD 6500 DK 6700) would be value plays as well. Small Forward Scottie Barnes FD - $9200 DK - $9000Opponent - ATLProj Pts FD - 52.79 DK - 54.69 OG Anunoby...

Quarterbacks Brock Purdy FD 8400 DK 6800 Opponent ARIProj Points FD - 21.3 DK - 21.3 Brock Purdy is in the MVP discussion for a reason, and he’s a fantastic cash game option again this week. While the FanDuel price is getting tough to fit, the DraftKings salary could make him a chalkier option once again. He’s averaged 314 passing yards per game over the last six weeks, and that even includes a 209-yard game mixed in there. He’s been unbelievably efficient, and the 49ers offense looks borderline unstoppable. The matchup against Arizona is one of the best around even with the Cardinals slightly better against the pass than the run. Jordan Love FD 8000 DK 6200 Opponent TBProj Points FD - 19.56 DK - 19.56 Jordan Love isn’t a name we might expect to see, but he draws such a good matchup that he needs to be in consideration for cash games on this slate. The Bucs are one of the worst pass defenses in the league this season and opponents have lit them up all year long. They rank among the worst in yards per pass attempt and passing yards allowed per game. Love has attempted 36 or more passes in four of the last five weeks, completing more than 65% during that stretch. He’ll also get out and run from time to time as well. The floor is high here because of the matchup and the DraftKings price makes him relatively easy to fit into lineups. Running Back Christian McCaffrey FD 10500 DK 9300 Opponent ARIProj Points FD - 27.39 DK - 29.92 I think that the cash game running back options are going to be pretty clear-cut on this main slate with the closer decisions coming at quarterback and wide receiver. Christian McCaffrey is in another amazing spot this week, facing off against an Arizona team that owns one of the worst defenses in football. The 49ers are huge -13.5 road favorites, and CMC hasn’t carried the ball fewer than 16 times in the last five weeks. Sure, the one target against the Seahawks is “concerning,” but his usage has been off the charts all season, and he comes here with a massive floor. Kyren Williams FD 9600 DK 7500 Opponent WASProj Points FD - 23.1 DK - 25.09 Few other running backs have the kind of opportunity Kyren Williams carries right now. That...

Point Guard/ Shooting Guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander FD - $11400 DK - $10500Opponent - SACProj Pts FD - 57.54 DK - 57.96 We’ve got a pretty fun Thursday slate of games and one of the most entertaining tilts could come between the Kings and Thunder. The game has the highest over/under (244) of the slate by a wide margin and when it comes to scoring, this could be the spot. Of course, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is the main attraction here, averaging 30.4 points and 6.2 assists on the season along with 3.7 steals + blocks. The defensive stats give him a high ceiling on FanDuel with the minutes among the best in the league when games are close. This is likely where to start cash game builds in the upper tier and he could see a lot of ownership on both sites even with the understanding that he’s very expensive. Anfernee Simons FD - $8300 DK - $7800Opponent - UTAProj Pts FD - 48 DK - 52.4 One caveat I have with Anfernee Simons on this slate is that running him in cash games is under the assumption that Malcolm Brogdon continues to sit out. If that’s the case then Simons has an incredibly high floor. He’s averaged 37 minutes a game since returning from injury and in that stretch is putting up 32 points and 5.3 assists while taking close to 24 shots a contest. The usage is nuts and the minutes are there. The price hasn’t caught up really and he’s taking on a very weak Utah Jazz defensive unit. Collin Sexton FD - $5400 DK - $5700Opponent - PORProj Pts FD - 28.69 DK - 31.61 Jordan Clarkson and Keyonte George are both out and that’s going to likely mean all of the minutes for Colin Sexton on Thursday. He started Wednesday’s game against the Knicks and led the team in shots with 18. Sexton finished with a team-high 26 points while adding in seven assists. Considering how short the Jazz are in guard depth and how many shot attempts are out of the lineup right now, this is a smash spot for Sexton who will likely see a lot...

Point Guard/ Shooting Guard D'Angelo Russell FD - $6600 DK - $6900Opponent - SAProj Pts FD - 40.98 DK - 44.23 Austin Reaves FD - $6400 DK - $6500Opponent - SAProj Pts FD - 40.31 DK - 44.11 It looks like both Lebron James and Anthony Davis will sit out this game, the second half of the back-to-back, after the tough loss to the Mavericks on Tuesday. With so much production gone, it sure seems like both D'Angelo Russell and Austin Reaves are going to get a ton of run and a lot of the LA usage in this one. Neither is priced like they are taking over the offense and don’t have the salaries requisite with the Lakers sitting their two stars. We’ll likely be stacking the Lakers across the board in this game against the Spurs who have a bottom-five defense. Expect both Russell and Reaves to be massive chalk on this slate. This isn’t one we have to think too hard about. Jalen Brunson FD - $7800 DK - $8200Opponent - UTAProj Pts FD - 43.57 DK - 47.05 The Knicks get a potentially great matchup against the Jazz here and seeing as how Utah appears fully in the tank, there hasn’t been much resistance from them at all of late. We’ve seen a bit of a price dip on Brunson in the short term with the scoring down some. But he’s had some slower matchups against the Raptors and a game against the Celtics in there. This is a total get-right spot for a guy averaging close to 25 points and 5.6 assists on the season. As long as the minutes are there then Brunson is a high floor cash game play. Small Forward Scottie Barnes FD - $8900 DK - $8600Opponent - ATLProj Pts FD - 52.79 DK - 54.69 The Raptors take on the Hawks on Wednesday, and this game has the third-highest over/under total on the slate, which is really saying something, considering Toronto is involved with the game. But a lot of that (or really all of it) is because Atlanta plays the 27th-ranked defensive efficiency in the league and the third-fastest pace....
