Point Guard/ Shooting Guard Luka Doncic FD - $12700 DK - $12200Opponent - INDProj Pts FD - 65.25 DK - 71.1 Luka Doncic is one of those near-matchup-proof guys on any given night, and the price reflects it. Basically, we are going to have to pay up in a big way to roster him. But on nights like this, it’s more than worth it. He’s facing off against the Pacers who own the 25ht-ranked defense and run the fastest pace in the league. Luka is averaging 34.5 points, 9.7 assists, and 8.9 rebounds on the season, and he’s somehow topped those averages over the last month or so. It’s really something to behold. As long as the game stays relatively close, he should see minutes close to 40 and the floor is tough to beat. Plus, on this slate, there should be plenty of ways to save salary. Tre Mann FD - $5800 DK - $5700Opponent - ORLProj Pts FD - 30.78 DK - 33.43 Vasilije Micic FD - $4800 DK - $5000Opponent - ORLProj Pts FD - 25.96 DK - 28.92 The Charlotte Hornets are still without LaMelo Ball, and now they are missing Cody Martin and Seth Curry as well. Vasilije Micic moved into the starting lineup against the Raptors, playing 35 minutes and finishing with 12 point, six assists, two rebounds, and two steals. For the minutes, it was a bit of an underwhelming performance, and he got off to a really slow start. But I don’t mind going back to him as a play here at these price points. Meanwhile, Tre Mann is locked into the starting lineup with the prices sitting in the mid0-$5K range on both sites. His usage is pretty low with this group, though he’s been able to add numbers around the rest of the stat line to keep the floor high enough. The run should be there again even if this isn’t the best matchup on the board. If Jalen Brunson is out then Miles McBride (FD 5700 DK 5500) would jump up the top of the value chart. Small Forward Josh Hart FD - $8100 DK - $7900Opponent - ATLProj Pts...

Point Guard/ Shooting Guard Dejounte Murray FD - $8900 DK - $8900Opponent - UTAProj Pts FD - 46.93 DK - 49.78 Trae Young is going to miss some time here with the hand injury which means this team gets turned over almost completely to Dejounte Murray. He sees increases in basically every statistical category and is coming off 25 points, 11 assists, and nine rebounds last game against the Magic. The price hasn’t moved enough to account for the new opportunity and we are still getting him too cheap on both sites. He gets a good matchup against the Jazz and will be chalk on this slate. Bogdan Bogdanovic FD - $6600 DK - $6300Opponent - UTAProj Pts FD - 35.87 DK - 38.14 In terms of playing time bumps, Bogdan Bogdanovic sees a somewhat considerable uptick moving into the Hawks's starting lineup to replace Trae Young. He’s kind of score or bust with his fantasy profile, coming off an 11-shot that saw him get to 17 points. Bog did add in five rebounds, and three assists, but he’ll need the usage to really hit any upside. That being said, with the minutes and the matchup, he’s still a play here with Trae Young on the shelf. Dennis Schröder FD - $5400 DK - $4800Opponent - ORLProj Pts FD - 29.39 DK - 32.17 Ben Simmons is going to sit the second half of the back-to-back and Cam Thomas is doubtful with a sprained ankle suffered at the end of the Grizzlies game. That means we should see a lot of Dennis Schroder here for the Nets on Tuesday against the Magic. He played 26 minutes in the start on Monday, scoring 18 points while adding five assists. The minutes will, almost for sure, increase in this game with Brooklyn down bad in the backcourt. Small Forward DeMar DeRozan FD - $7900 DK - $7600Opponent - DETProj Pts FD - 45.46 DK - 46.73 The Pistons are coming off a real tough loss on Monday and get to run it on a back-to-back here against the Bulls. Chicago has run tighter rotations, playing the starters tons of minutes when games stay close. DeMar...

Point Guard/ Shooting Guard Devin Booker FD - $9800 DK - $9800Opponent - DETProj Pts FD - 51.06 DK - 54.26 Bradley Beal is going to sit this game out, and the Phoenix Suns get to play the Detroit Pistons. Do we really need a ton more explanation here? Devin Booker is in an elite spot to pile on fantasy points against one of the worst defenses in the league, playing point guard for this group. He’s consistently playing close to 40 minutes in close games, ripping off 30+ point performances in two of his last three. The usage and assists should tick up considerably here, and the matchup is a choice. James Harden FD - $8800 DK - $8800Opponent - GSProj Pts FD - 46.55 DK - 50.37 Kawhi Leonard has already been ruled out of this game, meaning we are in a spot to stack James Harden and Paul George for cash games. With Kawhi off the court, Harden has the second-highest usage among the starters at 23.2%, up from 20% on the season. The assists tick up as well, as the ball is in his hands more. His price has fallen on both sites because the Clippers have been at full strength for so long. It’s time to take advantage of Kawhi missing this game. Cole Anthony FD - $5100 DK - $3700Opponent - NYProj Pts FD - 26.89 DK - 29.24 Markelle Fultz has been ruled out, and that should mean Cole Anthony spiking minutes or maybe even starting this game. Anthony’s minutes have been all over the place with the Magic getting healthier, plus there’s some risk that Anthony Black starts. But seeing as how this dude is coming at just $3700 on DraftKings, I don’t see how we don’t take a chance on him in cash games there. Tre Mann FD - $6000 DK - $5000Opponent - ATLProj Pts FD - 33.91 DK - 38.15 One of the biggest trade deadline performance upticks we’ve seen is Tre Mann who came over from OKC, and instantly jumped into the Hornets’ starting lineup. Over the last two games, he’s averaging 10 points, eight assists, and 6.5 rebounds...

Point Guard/ Shooting Guard Coby White FD - $7600 DK - $7500Opponent - ATLProj Pts FD - 40.9 DK - 45.15 Alex Caruso FD - $6200 DK - $5300Opponent - ATLProj Pts FD - 34.34 DK - 34.85 The Bulls are in a good spot on Monday, facing off against the Atlanta Hawks who come in with the second-worst defensive efficiency in the league. They stink, and we are often targeting opposing offenses against them, even on big slates. That works here, with Coby White and Alex Caruson ringing in as the cash game plays. White is a candidate to play close to 40 minutes in close games, and he’s averaging 23 points, 6.5 assists, and five rebounds over the last four. Meanwhile, the biggest encouraging sign for Alex Caruso is the minutes are more consistently hitting in the mid-30s, which is what he needs to make a safe play. The middle-tier pricing mostly works, but because the usage rate is so low, he needs to be out there enough to fill in the stats across the board. In a fast-paced, low-defense game, that should work out in his favor. Immanuel Quickley FD - $7000 DK - $6900Opponent - SAProj Pts FD - 36.98 DK - 40.43 Immanuel Quickley spiked 38 minutes two games ago against the Houston Rockets, an encouraging sign if the Raptors are going to play in non-blowouts. He scored 25 points 9-19 shooting in that one. The usage can come and go in this new role, but on Monday, he’s gifted with playing the Spurs, who rank 25th on defense and run the fifth-fastest pace. That’s a nice meeting spot for him to get up a lot of shots. Tre Mann FD - $6000 DK - $4600Opponent - INDProj Pts FD - 30.95 DK - 34.78 Tre Mann got the start for the Charlotte Hornets on Saturday in his first game with the new team following the trade deadline. It worked out with Mann scoring nine points, tallying nine assists, and running 27 minutes when it was all said and done. I think this role is secure going forward as long as LaMelo Ball is out of...

Point Guard/ Shooting Guard Jaden Hardy FD - $5100 DK - $4400Opponent - MINProj Pts FD - 32.03 DK - 35.71 Tim Hardaway Jr. FD - $6400 DK - $6000Opponent - MINProj Pts FD - 36.15 DK - 40.54 The Dallas Mavericks are effectively punting this game against the Timberwolves, sitting Luka Doncic and Derrick Lively among others, turning the game over to the bench unit. We haven’t seen this a ton in the NBA this season, but it definitely still happens from time to time. And when it does we can basically stack the cheap guys who are bound to see a ton of the usage. That’s going to start with Jaden Hardy, who is projected to take over the starting point guard duties and could chuck from the rafters in this one. He’s coming off a 20-point, seven-assist game last time out and that was in *just* 27 minutes. With Luka and Kyrie out, he has the second-highest usage on the team at 27%. I suspect he’s the most popular cash play on this slate. Then there is Tim Hardaway Jr., who should be in the starting lineup at the two-guard in this one. THJ spikes the biggest usage gain with Luka and Kyrie off the court, putting up a whopping 37.6% rate in 195 minutes. The question here isn’t whether Hardaway will take a lot of shots in his minutes, but rather if he’ll play enough minutes. There’s real blowout risk here, and he would be one of the first guys cut, seeing as how he’s a big part of their regular rotation. If he’s in the starting lineup, then it’s worth the risk for sure. But this is something to monitor to see if Jason Kidd mentions limited run for anyone. James Harden FD - $8400 DK - $8500Opponent - WASProj Pts FD - 47.67 DK - 51.27 While some of the Dallas Mavericks could make for popular plays on this slate, there are some other high-powered teams in very spots for Wednesday’s NBA action. One of them is the Clippers who face off against the dreadful Washington Wizards who play the fastest pace in the league...

Point Guard/ Shooting Guard Jamal Murray FD - $8400 DK - $8400Opponent - INDProj Pts FD - 43.5 DK - 46.65 The Nuggets draw a great matchup against the Pacers on Tuesday with the latter running the second-fastest pace in the league while registering the 26th-ranked defense. There’s a reason this game has a 243 over/under, easily the highest of the whole slate. Jamal Murray has been running big minutes of late, averaging 38 over the last four, all in regulation. The scoring can come and go, relatively speaking, but that’s also mostly keeping his price from reaching the $9K range. I love the matchup and the price on FanDuel specifically. It might be tough to roster Jokic in this game if you are rolling with Anthony Davis, but Murray gives you a chance to get exposure to this game. D'Angelo Russell FD - $7100 DK - $6500Opponent - LACProj Pts FD - 37.06 DK - 40.46 From a fantasy and projections perspective, LeBron James did us a huge favor early by announcing that he wasn’t going to play this game against the Clippers. While it doesn’t give the Lakers a leg up, it certainly gives us plenty of lead time on this situation from a DFS standpoint. D'Angelo Russell was already back in the starting lineup before this move, and he’ll ring in as one of the better fantasy plays here, considering the usage bump he gets with LBJ off the court. It goes from 22% to 26%, the second-highest on the team after Anthony Davis. The assists climb as well, with the ball in his hands more. His price isn’t reflective of the Lakers missing their point guard and overall GOAT. T.J. McConnell FD - $5200 DK - $5500Opponent - DENProj Pts FD - 37.32 DK - 39.18 It was announced that Tyrese Haliburton will miss the next three games due to his hamstring injury, which in theory, should mean a ton of run for TJ McConnell. Unfortunately, that isn’t as surefire a thing as we thought, considering what happened last game. McConnell started and then played a whopping (read: horrific) 12 minutes against the Suns. This is a...
