Point Guard/ Shooting Guard Markelle Fultz FD - $6800 DK - $6000Opponent - WASProj Pts FD - 34.05 DK - 36.77 Terrence Ross FD - $3700 DK - $3100Opponent - WASProj Pts FD - 19.52 DK - 22.02 The Magic had so many suspensions stemming from the fight against the Pistons the other night that they actually can’t even serve them all at once. It’s still going to mean a super small roster for this game, and then the same will happen (with different players) in the next game as well. Cole Anthony, among others, is out of this game as is Gary Harris, RJ Hampton, while Jalen Suggs remains on the shelf. That should lead to a lot of minutes for Markelle Fultz and Terrence Ross in the backcourt for Orlando and they are priced like it’s a typical game. Fultz isn’t a super high-usage guy in this offense but has taken double-digit shots in each of the last two games. Plus, the assists and rebounds are definitely part of his game. Meanwhile, Terrence Ross should get the start after being in and out of this rotation with Orlando getting healthier in recent weeks. But we’ve seen him able to get his shots up on a per-minute basis when the opportunity is there and he’s the minimum on both sites. Playing both of these guys (and some other Magic) is likely the way to go considering the state of the team right now. Jordan Poole FD - $7500 DK - $8200Opponent - PORProj Pts FD - 40.9 DK - 45.5 Poole is still coming too cheap on FanDuel for the role he is playing with the Warriors right now. With Curry out of the mix and Golden State desperate for shot creation, Poole has been putting up 20+ shots a game in the short term, averaging 27.3 points over the last three games. He needs to get there on scoring seeing as how the Warriors don’t ask him to rebound or ball distribute all that much, but the FanDuel price makes that a bit easier. It’s been up and down, but I do like the price on Zach LaVine (FD...

Quarterbacks Aaron Rodgers FD 7100 DK 6000 Opponent MINProj Points FD - 19.66 DK - 19.66 The Packers somehow find themselves in the playoff hunt despite looking all but dead just a few weeks ago. But everything has broken right for this team and now they find themselves home favorites against the 12-3 Vikings. Minnesota ranks 24th against the pass this season and this game’s 48 over/under is the second-highest of the main slate. Rodgers has gotten more comfortable with some of the young receivers in Christian Watson and Romeo Doubs, opening up the air attack even more. He’s coming cheap enough on both sites to consider in cash. Gardner Minshew FD 7500 DK 5500 Opponent NOProj Points FD - 19.62 DK - 19.62 It doesn’t look like Jalen Hurts is going to play in Week 17, though that has yet to be determined. It should be Gardner Minshew once again for the Eagles and he’s coming so, so cheap on DraftKings for another week. In place of Hurts, Minshew threw the ball 40 times against Dallas (completing 25) for 355 yards and two touchdowns. Though he’s clearly not as good as Hurts (few are), this team still has weapons which he utilized last time out. The floor is definitely high enough against the Saints to think about playing him on DK. Strongly consider Daniel Jones Running Backs Rhamondre Stevenson FD 7000 DK 6800 Opponent MIAProj Points FD - 17.41 DK - 19.63 Even at 7-8, the Patriots are still in the mix for the playoffs in the AFC and will have a chance to make a real move here if they can beat the Patriots at home. Rhamondre Stevenson has one of the best roles in football, coming off playing 91% of the team’s offensive snaps in Week16. As long as this one is close, he should see the bulk of the touches and they’ve used him more in the passing game over the second half of the season. Miami has a good defensive DVOA ranking against the rush, but are a below average defense on the season. I like Stevenson at these price points. Tyler Allgeier FD 6700 DK 5300 Opponent ARIProj Points FD - 17.6 DK - 19.35 The Falcons’ season is over, but from a scheme and ball-carrying...

Point Guard/ Shooting Guard LaMelo Ball FD - $8900 DK - $9600Opponent - GSProj Pts FD - 47.86 DK - 53.43 This slate has a ton of high totals on it going in so there could be a mix of value depending on where you want to target. The Hornets and Warriors is one of those games, coming in at a 234.5 over/under and setting up to be an up-and-down affair. LaMelo is playing minutes in the 36-37 range each night and has triple-double potential when things break right. Over the last three games, he’s averaging 25 points, nine rebounds, and nine assists. And the FanDuel price hasn’t caught up with that level of production. James Harden FD - $9600 DK - $9700Opponent - WASProj Pts FD - 49.62 DK - 54.39 James Harden has been playing major minutes of late for the 76ers, a welcome sign if we are running him in cash games. He’s played 37 or more in regulation in four of the last five and topped 40 in each of the last two. Those latter numbers probably aren’t going to be the norm, but it’s clear Doc Rivers and company are fine with major run for Harden at this point. He’s two games removed from a 20-point, 21-assists, 11-rebound game against the Clippers and followed it up with a strong Christmas Day showing as well. Chris Paul FD - $8200 DK - $8000Opponent - MEMProj Pts FD - 41.5 DK - 44.02 Damion Lee FD - $4400 DK - $4400Opponent - MEMProj Pts FD - 24.47 DK - 27.69 The Suns are, once again, going to be without Devin Booker and now they won’t have Landry Shamet off the bench either. That’s going to, presumably, mean that there are a lot of guard minutes to go around and Chris Paul and Damion Lee should pick up most of that in the backcourt. It’s been somewhat hit or miss for CP3 with Booker out of the mix though in close games the minutes are definitely there. He’s double-doubled in two of the last three games and can get there with points and assists even against a strong Grizzlies...

Point Guard/ Shooting Guard Luka Doncic FD - $11800 DK - $12500Opponent - LALProj Pts FD - 57.64 DK - 59.15 There are a bunch of outstanding injury issues hanging there for the his Christmas which might swing some of these lineups throughout the day, but we can feel pretty good about spending up for Luka. The 230 over/under is tied for the highest of the slate and the Lakers play a top-10 opposing pace on a day with a lot of slow and defensively-sound teams. Doncic is coming off an insane game against the Rockets that saw him drop 50 points while also adding in 10 assists, and eight rebounds. If we can find some cheap plays elsewhere, Luka has as high a floor as there is in the game. Jalen Brunson FD - $7500 DK - $7300Opponent - PHIProj Pts FD - 38.88 DK - 41.83 Jalen Brunson is coming off a rougher game against the Bulls when he was also fairly high owned on FanDuel. I do think we are still getting him at a value here even against a tougher matchup against the Sixers. Brunson has a very high minutes floor in close games, having run 38 and 39 in each of the last two games respectively. He’s getting up almost 16 shots a game over the last months and averaging 18 points and six assists in that span. On a slate that might not has a ton of punt play value we might have to operate in the middle tier for cash games. Jordan Poole FD - $7800 DK - $8300Opponent - MEMProj Pts FD - 37.75 DK - 41.79 The Warriors have been involved in some blowouts of late which has cut down on the starter’s minutes. That could be the case against Memphis here, though the line is currently only -6.5 road favorites here. Poole has seen massive usage with Stephen Curry out of the lineup and has taken an average of 20 shots a game over the last five. Not many players have this kind of green light and it makes his increased price points palatable. Derrick White FD -...

Point Guard/ Shooting Guard Chris Paul FD - $7900 DK - $8300Opponent - MEMProj Pts FD - 42.22 DK - 44.96 Devin Booker is going to be out for this game as well meaning we should see a full run of minutes for Chris Paul once again. The price has come up some on Paul in the short-term though it’s still not in range of what his opportunity is right now. He’s double-doubled in two of the last four games and the three-point shooting has started to round into shape as well. The overall usage can come and go, but this is still a good spot for the Point God. Jalen Brunson FD - $7500 DK - $7100Opponent - CHIProj Pts FD - 37.84 DK - 40.72 The Knicks were on a bit of a heater until they lost to the Raptors last game. But they walk into a good spot here against the Bulls who play an above-average pace on the season. Brunson has a very high minutes floor if the game breaks right, coming off running 39 minutes in that Toronto game. He’s taken 14 or more shots in each of the last six games and even though he struggled against the Raps, you have to like the usage and assist numbers at these prices. Bradley Beal FD - $8900 DK - $8000Opponent - SACProj Pts FD - 40.82 DK - 43.99M This is a slightly tricky spot for Beal. On the one hand, he is in about as good a spot as you would hope, facing off against a Kings team that runs the fifth-fastest pace in the league with a bottom-third defensive efficiency. And there’s a world in which the Wiz are once again playing without Kristaps Porzingis. But Washington is also coming on the back-to-back here which might limit his minutes. I do think we are set to see a price increase on Beal in the short term with the minutes likely ticking up incrementally and this could be a buy-low spot. If Jamal Murray is out again then Bruce Brown (FD 5900 DK 5800) would be an excellent value play. Dorian Finney-Smith is out for...
