Guards Luka Doncic FD - $12400 DK - $12000 Opponent - HOU Proj Pts FD - 61.79 DK - 65.59 Hard not to concentrate on Luka tonight coming off a game for the ages where he became the only player in history to drop a 60-point triple-double. While I am not expecting another 100-point fantasy performance, it seems odd that the price never budged on DraftKings and is still $1000 lower than his season-high of $13K. Luka provides an elite floor with his contributions across the board with access to a huge ceiling, especially against a Rockets team that is 28th in defensive efficiency and 30th in fantasy points to guards. More than enough value should pop up to make it easier to build around Luka in all formats. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander FD - $10800 DK - $10100 Opponent - CHA Proj Pts FD - 53.22 DK - 54.89 In terms of cash game lineup construction, it is going to be much more optimal to start your lineup and build around SGA who seemingly checks all the boxes tonight. First of all, while he doesn't have anywhere near the same ceiling as Luka, the floor has been very comparable this season. Over 31 games played, he has provided 50 or more DraftKings points 18 times while posting under 40 points just four times. He contributes across the board with averages of 31.5 points, 5.8 assists, 4.9 rebounds, and 2.8 blocks+steals. We should see that floor once again in a projected high-pace game against a Hornets team that is 27th in defensive efficiency and 10th in pace. Fire up SGA in all formats Thursday. Immanuel Quickley FD - $6000 DK - $5000 Opponent - SA Proj Pts FD - 34.56 DK - 37.28 We will have to keep an eye on the Jalen Brunson injury but it appears he could miss a second straight game opening up some value for the Knicks' backcourt. It was Quickley who benefited last game in an overtime marathon against the Mavericks. He played an insane 51 minutes and picked up a season-high 15 assists and 42 DraftKings points. While that is not very sustainable, neither is the terrible shooting he displayed making just 5 of 21 shots(24%) and just 1 for 10 from beyond the arc. Either way, if he starts, I love the matchup against a...

Point Guard Jordan Poole FD - $7600 DK - $8600 Opponent - UTA Proj Pts FD - 42.83 DK - 45.52 We've seen two different Pooles this season. The one who starts and the one who comes off the bench. The good news is that we're seeing the starting JP right now, starting at point guard in the absence of Stephen Curry. That's quite the role to step into, with Poole leading the team with a 34 percent usage rate when Chef Curry is off the floor. He's also scored at least 28 DraftKings points in 14 of his 16 starts, generating a 37-point average in those 14 games. The simple fact is, he's seeing a massive boost in usage, minutes, and shot attempts as long as Curry is sidelined. We adore that against Utah, with the Jazz allowing the most fantasy points to opposing guards this season. Markelle Fultz FD - $6300 DK - $5900 Opponent - DET Proj Pts FD - 29.09 DK - 29.06 It's been sad watching Fultz deal with injuries year after year, but Orlando fans are ecstatic to see him fully healthy for the first time in his career. Fultz has been starting at point guard for a month now, scoring at least 27 DK points in six of his last seven games. He's also providing a 35-point average in that span, stuffing the stat sheet at ease. That's why he was the top pick in the draft back in 2017, and we have to believe he'll get better the more he plays, and the more he gets acclimated with this offense. Facing Detroit is also delicious, with the Pistons ranked 29th in both defensive efficiency and points allowed. Kyle Lowry (FD $6400 DK $6900) could be a monster if Bam and Butler are out again. Shooting Guard Tyler Herro FD - $7900 DK - $9300 Opponent - LAL Proj Pts FD - 46.53 DK - 48.6 It's hard to understand why there's such a discrepancy in terms of pricing, but Herro is one of the best plays out there, no matter what site you play on. The Sixth Man of the Year winner has broken out in the...

Be sure to read our free NBA and NFL Ebooks on building lineups, general strategy, and more. We've got you completely covered. 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...

Guards LaMelo Ball FD - $8900 DK - $10200 Opponent - POR Proj Pts FD - 46.22 DK - 51.49 We are going to want plenty of exposure to this game with a monster 237.5 total with two teams facing each other who both rank outside the Top 20 in defensive efficiency. It is very close between Lillard and Ball at point guard here, but the recency bias has me leaning the latter as my top pick. Since returning from injury in mid-December, Ball has been terrific with three double-doubles, a triple-double, and is averaging nearly 50 fantasy points a game. All things considered, Ball is my top guard and in play in all formats, especially on FanDuel at a sub $9K price tag. CJ McCollum FD - $8800 DK - $8600 Opponent - IND Proj Pts FD - 44.76 DK - 48.23 Speaking of rising prices, we have CJ McCollum who is approaching the $9K territory but with Brandon Ingram out for one more game, I am not concerned at all. Over his last eight games without Ingram, he has been very efficient for fantasy averaging 25.5 points, 5.9 rebounds and 6.6 assists giving us a return of nearly 50 fantasy points a game. He may lose a little bit of volume with Zion back tonight but in a game with a 233 total where both teams rank Top 15 in pace, there should be more than enough meat on the bone for CJ to thrive once again. Norman Powell FD - $5200 DK - $5200 Opponent - DET Proj Pts FD - 25.93 DK - 28.09 For value at the guard position, stay tuned to the Clippers starting lineup as Powell is projected to start and while the total is lower the matchup stands out as the Pistons are 29th in defense and run an above-average pace. Powell made his return from injury last week and has looked good off the bench putting up 14 and 21 points in those two games while adding six assists and six rebounds. At this current price, we are only looking for about 25-28 fantasy points and if he starts and plays 25-30 minutes, I have no concern of him hitting value for us. If he starts I will have exposure in all formats. Small Forward DeMar DeRozan FD - $8500 DK -...

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 -...
