Point Guard/ Shooting Guard Damian Lillard FD - $9000 DK - $9900Opponent - SAProj Pts FD - 45.59 DK - 50.87 Lillard missed a few games, but he’s come back strong over the last three since the return and been in superstar form. In that stretch he’s averaging 25 points, eight assists, and five rebounds. Now, he’ll face a Spurs team ranked 26th on defense even though they play at a below average pace. I like the FanDuel price on Lillard much more than DraftKings, but he’s in play on both sites because the minutes floor has been so high since his return. De'Aaron Fox FD - $8800 DK - $8800Opponent - BKNProj Pts FD - 42.92 DK - 45.97 De’Aaron Fox is having his best season on the statistics front, scoring 25.5 points per game on 55% shooting, getting better from beyond the arc at 38% on more than five attempts. It’s been a nice boost for the point guard and the Kings have won six of the last seven games he’s played. Now he’ll get the Nets who have, somewhat surprisingly been decent on defense this season, ranked fourth in efficiency at that end of the court. But I like Fox’s DraftKings price at sub-$9K and he’s in a value spot for sure. Mike Conley FD - $5600 DK - $5600Opponent - NYProj Pts FD - 30.3 DK - 33.06 The Jazz are having one of the truly surprising seasons we’ve seen considering everyone thought they would be in the tank for Victor Wembanyama from the very start. But they are 9-5 and have looked strong to start the season even with a bunch of new faces. Conley has had some rough shooting games in the short-term, but it’s only served to lower his price on both sites. He’s still averaging 11 points and eight assists on the season with some defensive stats and rebounds thrown in there as well. John Konchar FD - $4000 DK - $4900Opponent - NOProj Pts FD - 24.2 DK - 24.92 Konchar should get the start again for Desmond Bane who is doubtful for this game. Last game...

Guards Stephen Curry FD - $10600 DK - $10200 Opponent - SAC Proj Pts FD - 50.9 DK - 56.21 Starting right at the top tonight and, to be honest, this feels like a bit of a buy-low. I say this as he has provided a more consistent floor and arguably higher PTS/$ upside than some of his peers who are routinely $11K on both sites. He gets elite usage(32%) and is averaging 33.3 points, 6.7 assists, and 6.8 rebounds which has provided us with at least 45 DK points in every game and he is also playing some of his best ball of the season averaging 59 fantasy points over his last seven games. The Spurs are slightly below average when looking at overall defensive efficiency but rank 27th in fantasy points allowed to guards so I will have a ton of exposure to Curry in all formats. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander FD - $10000 DK - $8900 Opponent - BOS Proj Pts FD - 48.11 DK - 49.72 Speaking of value, especially on DraftKings, we have SGA who is coming off a monster 60+ point performance but has seen price dip back below $9K and near a season-low. I really don't understand it for a guy who is averaging 31.1 points, 5.7 assists, 4.4 rebounds, and a massive3.6 blocks+steals per game. He has also provided us with 42 or more DK points in 10 of 12 games and 50 or more in seven of those. This game has the highest total on the slate and while the Thunder are big dogs here, they face a Celtics team that has struggled defensively ranking 24th in that metric this season. All things considered, SGA is my favorite PTS/$ pay-up on this slate. Jevon Carter FD - $5400 DK - $6000 Opponent - ATL Proj Pts FD - 36.53 DK - 38.39 Carter has started all season but it wasn't until recently he became fantasy relevant as both Jrue Holiday and Giannis Antetokounmpo missed the last two games. Carter stepped up with a whopping 42 shots in those games, shooting 52% and also adding 18 assists and six rebounds. The usage will go down some tonight as Giannis is expected back but with Jrue confirmed out, Carter should get another start at the point and still sits with a nice mid-tier price tag and...

Guards Brandon Ingram FD - $8000 DK - $8700 Opponent - HOU Proj Pts FD - 41.75 DK - 42.7 Ingram let us down on Thursday getting into foul trouble but I am going back to the well here as I am looking at a balanced attack for tonight's slate. Not a bad place to start either as the Pelicans get one of the best matchups on the board facing the Rockets who run a Top 10 pace along with the 2nd worst defensive rating. Taking out last game and the game he got injured in and Ingram has been very consistent averaging 24.8 points, 6.8 rebounds, and 4.8 assists for 43.6 DraftKings points per game. He is a top target for me in all formats. Tyrese Haliburton FD - $8800 DK - $8900 Opponent - TOR Proj Pts FD - 40.3 DK - 41.46 Speaking of consistency, Haliburton has made the most of his trade to Indiana last season and has easily been their best player. He may not get the usage of other stars in the league but his best value for us in fantasy is the balance he provides across multiple categories as he comes in averaging 21.6 points, 9.9 assists, and 4.6 rebounds per game providing us with 40 or more fantasy points in 10 of 11 games and 50 or more in six of those. This game has the second-highest total on the slate and the Pacers face a Raptors team that is short it's best player and have struggled defensively in the short term. Fire up Haliburton in all formats. Jaden Ivey FD - $7000 DK - $5700 Opponent - BOS Proj Pts FD - 33.35 DK - 35.87 Killian Hayes FD - $4000 DK - $3600 Opponent - BOS Proj Pts FD - 11.98 DK - 12.41 This is a situation we will have to monitor throughout the day as Cade Cunningham missed last night and is in danger of missing a second straight game with shin soreness. After back-to-back double-doubles earlier in the week, Jaden Ivey let us down last night against the Knicks but the price is still in a good spot on DraftKings to go back to the well for a player who has provided us with a 5x or greater return in eight of his 12 starts this season and...

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 Ja Morant FD - $1000 DK - $10000Opponent - MINProj Pts FD - 50.94 DK - 55.45 We are going to get to all of the Bucks guys shortly, but things start off with Ja Morant who comes in leading the Grizzlies, the team with the highest implied total of the slate. They are facing off against the Timberwolves who are playing the second-fast pace in the league this season with a defense that’s outside the top 10. Ja is scoring 29 points a game thanks to some run hot from outside the arc (45%) and the rest of his stats are in line with previous seasons. He’s a superstar and there aren’t a ton of upper price tier payoffs on this slate. I think he’s the guy and this game should be up and down the court. Jevon Carter FD - $5100 DK - $5300Opponent - SAProj Pts FD - 28.62 DK - 29.38 The Bucks are going to, once again, be without Giannis Antetokounmpo and Jrue Holiday (along with Khris Middleton who’s yet to play this season). That’s going to again open up significant bumps for almost every remaining player who stands to see real minutes. Last game Jevon Carter was one of those guys. He played 45 minutes in the double-overtime win over the Thunder and finished with a slate-breaking 36 points and 12 assists. The price has climbed, but not enough especially on FanDuel and he’s likely to be one of the most popular plays on the slate. Devin Booker FD - $9000 DK - $9400Opponent - ORLProj Pts FD - 47.74 DK - 51.24 Cameron Payne FD - $5200 DK - $5700Opponent - ORLProj Pts FD - 30.6 DK - 33.27 I’d be much more inclined to play Booker if Chris Paul is out again, and that’s 100% the case for Cameron Payne on this slate. CP3 sat out last game and is dealing with heel soreness. If he were to sit out again we know that all of the backcourt production will go to these two. Last game, Booker played 38 minutes, took 23 shots...

Guards Brandon Ingram FD - $8200 DK - $8700 Opponent - POR Proj Pts FD - 42.59 DK - 43.58 I will preface by saying that our system is all over Luka tonight and while I agree with the projection, his price makes it very hard to fit on a smaller four-game slate with a lack of value. At this time, I am looking at a more balanced build and it starts with Brandon Ingram who has been very consistent this season. Remove the game where he left early with an injury and he has played at least 31 minutes in all five games and has gotten a ton of usage averaging 19.4 shots per game in that time. The high floor comes with his contribution in almost every category as he is averaging 25.4 points, 6.4 rebounds, 5.2 assists, 2.0 blocks+steals, and 44.7 DraftKings points per game. The Trail Blazers are 10th in defensive efficiency but have been leaky to guards ranking 26th in fantasy points against. I will have exposure in all formats. Dennis Smith Jr. FD - $6600 DK - $6100 Opponent - MIA Proj Pts FD - 29.34 DK - 30.24 De'Anthony Melton FD - $5600 DK - $6000 Opponent - ATL Proj Pts FD - 33.3 DK - 34.34 I group these two together as they have very similar situations on Thursday. Both have teammates(Ball, Hayward, Harden) out of the lineup creating an opportunity for others to thrive in their absence. Both also have other teammates who likely get the biggest bump in usage(Rozier, Maxey) but come at a much higher cost so on this smaller slate I settle here. Let's start with Dennis Smith who outside the game he got hurt early on, has provided a consistent floor for fantasy as a starter averaging 10.9 points, 4.4 rebounds, 6.9 assists and 2.9 steals+blocks for an average just over 32 fantasy points across nine games. The Hornets are big dogs in this one but there should be another 12-18 shots for Smith and the Heat do struggle most against guards ranking 24th in fantasy points allowed to the position. For Melton, he has been getting starts with James Harden out and has seen mixed results. He dropped a huge 39-point fantasy game against the Knicks but was held to 24 fantasy points in a low-scoring loss...
