Point Guard/ Shooting Guard Chris Paul FD - $7200 DK - $6200Opponent - HOUProj Pts FD - 41.99 DK - 43.77 With Devin Booker still out for the Suns, we are going to want to load up on some other Phoenix pieces on this slate for cash. They draw the Rockets, still one of the best DFS matchups around and there is now a lot of usage left on the table with the star out. Paul jumps to the top of the list for obvious reasons and the only real concern here is a minutes ceiling as he works his way back from injury. But he played 34 in each of the last two games, averaging 15 points and nine assists in that span. I do think that’s on the low end of the expected production and his price is kind of a joke on both sites. CJ McCollum FD - $7500 DK - $6900Opponent - UTAProj Pts FD - 38.89 DK - 41.72 The Pelicans are going to be at least one more game with Brandon Ingram, leaving at least for this one, considerable usage for McCollum in the offense. He gets a great matchup against a Utah Jazz team playing the 5th-worst defensive efficiency in the league and running an above-average pace. CJ has taken 16 and 24 shots respectively in the last two games after seeing that number around 11 for the three previous games. It’s unreasonable to expect those shot attempts to stay so low going forward and I think we are buying at a great price because of it. James Harden FD - $9700 DK - $9700Opponent - SACProj Pts FD - 48.46 DK - 52.14 Some of the plays on this slate are underpriced and we could be able to fit some superstar-level plays across the board if things break just right. Harden is one of those dudes who’s coming just a bit too cheap. He’s back to playing full minutes, running 38 in regulation last time out after two overtime affairs in the previous two games. In that time, he’s averaging 23 points and almost 12 assists. He’s been terribly inefficient from the field,...

Point Guard/ Shooting Guard Trae Young FD - $9700 DK - $10300Opponent - BKNProj Pts FD - 50.56 DK - 55.43 The Hawks are going to be without Dejounte Murray for a couple of weeks now and that could lead to Trae Young with an even higher usage than he’s already putting up. On the season, Trae is rocking a 34% usage rate, but that number shoots all the way up to 44.5% with Murray off the court. He could be bombing early and often in this game against a Brooklyn Nets team that doesn’t have much in the way of point-of-attack defense and will just be working Ben Simmons back into the mix. Young’s price hasn’t been adjusted enough on FanDuel in particular. Anthony Edwards FD - $8800 DK - $9000Opponent - UTAProj Pts FD - 44.99 DK - 48.3 The Timberwolves are still without Karl-Anthony Towns and that’s led to some big time Anthony Edwards upside in the short-term. Over his last six games (not all with KAT out), Edwards is averaging 27 points, five rebounds, 4.5 assists, and 3.5 steals. That’s elite production and the price hasn’t fully caught up on either site. Now, the Timberwolves will be in a game against the Jazz which has the highest over/under on the slate (236.5). It could be an up-and-down affair and that’s good for Edwards when it comes to volume shooting. Monte Morris FD - $5500 DK - $5300Opponent - INDProj Pts FD - 30.49 DK - 33.01 The Wizards can definitely be tough to trust when it comes to the minutes and this is a game we are going to want to target some. Bradley Beal remains out and last time around, Monte Morris played 37 minutes in a four-point loss to the Bulls. He took the third-most shots on the team behind Kristaps Porzingis and Kyle Kuzma and finished with 17 points and eight assists. That kind of production at these prices is an easy cash game call. The issue is we just can’t always trust the Washington rotations making this a bit risky. I do still think D'Angelo Russell (FD 7100 DK 7100) is a value...

Quarterbacks Josh Allen FD 8700 DK 8300 Opponent NYJProj Points FD - 25.49 DK - 25.49 It’s tough to know what to do with Josh Allen right now. He injured his arm a few weeks ago and the last three games, from a fantasy perspective, have been a bit rough. In that stretch, he’s averaged just 224 yards passing per game. And the Bills have made a bit more of a commitment to the run. But that’s also meant a price drop for the QB and this is still the second-highest fantasy-scoring player on DraftKings overall this season. The matchup against the Jets isn’t ideal but the Bills are -9.5 favorites at home and would really like to win this game. I think I am fine running him on the past performance and the upside, but recognize that there is some risk here. Joe Burrow FD 8300 DK 7000 Opponent CLEProj Points FD - 23.06 DK - 23.06 Burrow is coming a touch cheaper than the top-tier quarterback group this week and that could really work out to our advantage in this game against the Browns. This one has the second-highest over/under of the entire slate and Bengals are favored against Deshaun Watson and company. With Ja'Marr Chase returning last week and Joe Mixon back this week, the Bengals have a full complement of weapons and Burrow has a very high floor with about as high an upside of anyone in the game. Cleveland is the 27th-ranked defense in football this season, though they are worse against the run than the pass. Regardless, I like Burrow here especially if Cincy is going to keep its foot on the gas. Jared Goff FD 7100 DK 5600 Opponent MINProj Points FD - 18.9 DK - 18.9 The 5-7 Lions are -1 favorites at home against the 10-2 Vikings and the latter doesn’t have any major injuries. We live in weird and wild times. Goff has real upside if this game gets into a shootout and is coming cheap enough on DraftKings to live with the fact that he doesn’t get out and run really at all. He’ll need to be a high-volume passer which is a bit risky, especially if the Lions get out to a lead here. But he...

Point Guard/ Shooting Guard Luka Doncic FD - $11800 DK - $13000Opponent - DENProj Pts FD - 62.27 DK - 66.3 Luka Doncic is on the second half of a back-to-back but was done a favor yesterday with the Mavericks blowing out the Suns. That meant Luka and company played significantly reduced minutes and there isn’t an overwhelming threat of anyone being rested here. There are some excellent pay-up options on this short slate but there might not be enough ways to save in order to play more than one of them. Luka makes for about as safe an option as there is averaging 33.5 points, 8.5 rebounds, and 8.5 assists on the season. Donovan Mitchell FD - $8800 DK - $8700Opponent - LALProj Pts FD - 44.47 DK - 48.18 We are much more inclined to play Donovan Mitchell when Darius Garland is out, there’s still a case to do it here against the Lakers, especially when you consider just how much he’s been running of late. He’s played 37 and 40 minutes over the last two games respectively, putting up 21 and 22 shots in those games. This Lakers team has been above average in defensive efficiency but still runs one of the fastest paces in the league this season. Cleveland has the highest implied total of the slate (not by much, but they do) and are favorites here at home. With Mitchell coming under $9K on both sites, I think the floor is high enough especially considering the Lakers don’t have enough in the way of point of attack defenders to really limit him and Garland. Kyle Lowry FD - $6700 DK - $6700Opponent - DETProj Pts FD - 32.94 DK - 35.95 The Heat are getting healthier here with the full starting lineup back in action, making Lowry a little less productive from a fantasy perspective. That’s what happens when things get a little more crowded all around. The Heat are coming on the back-to-back after a loss to the Grizzlies on Monday, so there’s some chance we see rest among the core group. At these prices, Lowry’s ability to contribute across the stat line makes him...

Point Guard/ Shooting Guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander FD - $10400 DK - $10300Opponent - ATLProj Pts FD - 47.26 DK - 49.12 Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is having some kind of season, a true breakout performance from a guy who was already ascending in this direction anyway. He’s averaging 31 points per game on 50% shooting from the field and 92% from the line where he’s getting close to ten attempts. Add in the three blocks+steals as well as the six rebounds, and five assists and you have one of the truly elite fantasy plays on a night-to-night basis. On Monday, SGA gets the Hawks in a game with the second-highest over/under of the slate (231.5). It could be a high-scoring affair and the Thunder haven’t been shy about running Shai big minutes in close games this season. Andrew Nembhard FD - $4900 DK - $4200Opponent - GSProj Pts FD - 30.31 DK - 32.74 Tyrese Haliburton sat out on Sunday and he’ll miss this game as well. The Pacers are major underdogs so we could see a big time blowout at the hands of the Warriors, but it’s still worth playing some of their backcourt in cash. Nembhard took over the point guard duties on against the Blazers and ended up playing 37 minutes in the loss. He finished with 16 points, eight assists, and six rebounds in the complete stat line. His price hasn’t climbed nearly enough for this expanded role and I do think the plan is to play him in the high-30s minutes especially if TJ McConnell were to sit again. Bennedict Mathurin FD - $5500 DK - $5400Opponent - GSProj Pts FD - 31.31 DK - 34.76 Mathurin is set to come off the bench again for the Pacers, but that hasn’t stopped Rick Carlisle and company from playing the rookie a lot of minutes regardless. He’s averaging 29 minutes a game over the last month and has topped 30 plenty of times. Mathurin is taking more than 13 shots per game in that stretch, and is coming off taking 15 against the Blazers on Sunday. They will need his scoring if they have any hope of hanging with...
