Point Guard/ Shooting Guard Josh Giddey FD - $8000 DK - $8700Opponent - INDProj Pts FD - 44.37 DK - 48.41 We are nearing the end of the season and this is where things can start getting real weird, real quick from a DFS standpoint. Teams’ motivations are all over the place and some for the spreads definitely represent this uncertainty. Even without Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, the Thunder seem to be putting their best foot forward and still are in the Western Conference play-in game as of this writing. Josh Giddey is locked into around 35 minutes a game in this set up and is averaging 23 points, 10.5 assists, and seven rebounds in that stretch. His price, especially on FanDuel, hasn’t moved nearly enough to reflect this opportunity. He’s an easy play there. Consider Isaiah Joe (FD 5500 DK 5300) who should stick in the starting lineup. Shaedon Sharpe FD - $7700 DK - $7900Opponent - SACProj Pts FD - 38.96 DK - 42.06 The Trailblazers have shut down Damian Lillard, Jerami Grant, and Anfernee Simons for the season. And last game they ran a core of young guys a million minutes even in a massive blowout. That could be the case agains here against the Kings. Shaedon Sharpe took 27 shots in 45 minutes against these same Kings earlier in the week, finishing with 30 points, seven rebounds, and seven assists. He could be in line for massive usage once again especially if Portland was no f’s to give when it comes to results here. The rookie is still very much a value under the current Blazers’ setup. If Kawhi Leonard were out for personal reasons again then Russell Westbrook (FD 8300 DK 8700) would jump to the top of the list here. He went for 36 points, 10 assists, and four rebounds last game with both Kawhi and Paul George out of the Clippers’ mix. Keep an eye on the situation in Charlotte going into this game. Last time out, Dennis Smith Jr. (FD 6500 DK 6800) was a very (very) late scratch and Théo Maledon (FD 5300 DK 5500) ended up starting and playing a ton of minutes....

Guards CJ McCollum FD - $8300 DK - $7500 Opponent - DEN Proj Pts FD - 36.88 DK - 40.12 We have a tricky slate on Thursday with just two games and not really any injury news to come in terms of opening up potential value. This has me targeting a more balanced lineup tonight and it starts with McCollum who is in a great spot against a Nuggets team that gives up the fourth-most fantasy points to guards. He is coming off a dud against the Warriors but I am not concerned as he has been consistent in March. The volume is there as he has taken 15 or more shots in nine of his last 11 games while averaging 20.1 points and has added another 4.6 rebounds and 6.4 assists for just over 39 fantasy points per game. The price is a little better on DraftKings but CJ is in play for me in all formats. Marcus Smart FD - $6000 DK - $5300 Opponent - MIL Proj Pts FD - 27.18 DK - 29.54 In the first game, I think a lot of people will be chasing Jrue's monster game from last night, but with Middleton back in the lineup, I will go in another direction. Enter Marcus Smart who isn't going to win you a GPP as a low-volume guard but has provided a solid floor from a PTS/$ standpoint lately. At his current DraftKings price we are looking for about 25 DK points as a floor and he has hit that in four of his last games while averaging 28.6 during that stretch. On this small slate, I will have exposure to Smart in cash games on both sites. Bruce Brown FD - $5400 DK - $4500 Opponent - NO Proj Pts FD - 23.74 DK - 25.42 Value is going to be tough to come by on this slate so we are going to have to expand our player pools and include some bench players. Let's start with Bruce Brown who has been getting decent playing time lately getting 28 or more minutes in three straight and four of his last five games and has been fairly consistent hitting at least 5x on DraftKings in nine of those 14 games while averaging 23 DK points per game. This kind of output is not going to...

Point Guard/ Shooting Guard Ja Morant FD - $9900 DK - $9000Opponent - LACProj Pts FD - 50.32 DK - 54.36 The Grizzlies don’t have their playoff fate sealed just yet, but they are close and it’s looking like they will be locked into the Western Conference #2 seed. Ja Morant rested on the front end of this back-to-back, but it looks like he will be back for this game. And the dude hasn’t shown any signs of being affected (on the court) from his time away from the team. He dropped 27 points and six rebounds in just 29 minutes last time out and this game should see the run increase as he works his way back into the mix. The price is way too low on DraftKings especially if he’s looking at low-30s minutes and the dude has come back on a mission. Shaedon Sharpe FD - $6900 DK - $6700Opponent - SACProj Pts FD - 34.99 DK - 37.85 The Blazers are a mess for sure and have clearly entered a full tank. Damien Lillard has been shut down for the rest of the season and they are running out the young and end-of-bench guys from here on out. Shaedon Sharpe has played 35+ minutes in each of the last four games, averaging 22.5 points and 6.3 rebounds in that stretch. Even with the rest of the lineup kind of getting jacked around, his playing time and usage do appear very safe here even with a slightly down game last time around. His price on both sites doesn’t reflect, at all, the new opportunity. Talen Horton-Tucker FD - $6300 DK - $6900Opponent - SAProj Pts FD - 30.86 DK - 33.16 Kris Dunn FD - $5100 DK - $5500Opponent - SAProj Pts FD - 34.43 DK - 35.56 It’s a little tough to know what the Utah Jazz are doing here, and as of right now, Lauri Markkanen is questionable for the game. It doesn’t look like the Jazz, currently ranked 12th in the Western Conference, are going to try and make the play-in game, which would mean a key guy like Lauri would see limited action from...

Point Guard/ Shooting Guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander FD - $10800 DK - $10000Opponent - CHAProj Pts FD - 52.91 DK - 54.03 It’s going to be an interesting slate here with teams definitely making their intentions known around tanking and other groups getting back to full strength. As of this writing, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is questionable so we will need to see where he lands, but if he plays he’s a top option here. For starters, the Hornets stink so he draws one of the best matchups on the slate. The Thunder still have a chance at the playoffs here and they seem like they are going for it with SGA playing solid minutes in the short term. He’s had an unbelievable season, has ascended into superstar territory and still isn’t priced for his production in this matchup. Keep an eye on his injury status here for sure. **Update - SGA is out tonight** s Dennis Smith Jr. FD - $6500 DK - $7000Opponent - OKCProj Pts FD - 33.1 DK - 33.91 Again, a theme of this slate is that we are likely going to be playing some guys on tanking teams. That’s the nature of these late season slates wherein some good and great players have been shut down for the season or are at least being injury managed. One of them is the Hornets who are already without LaMelo Ball and now Terry Rozier and Gordon Hayward are out as well. Dennis Smith Jr. has been starting at point guard and that should remain the case in this game. He went for 14 points, six assists, and five rebounds last game against the Mavs in just 28 minutes. He did have foul trouble and I think the real minutes are more around 30+ and though he’s getting expensive, if Kelly Oubre is out as well then the usage should be there. Delon Wright FD - $5800 DK - $5400Opponent - BOSProj Pts FD - 32.79 DK - 33.28M We are going to need to keep an eye on the Wiz situation leading into this slate. Last game, Monte Morris sat out and Delon Wright got the start at point guard....

Guards Kyrie Irving FD - $9400 DK - $9800 Opponent - IND Proj Pts FD - 48.67 DK - 52.02 While things maybe haven't gone exactly as planned since joining the Mavericks(who seen that coming?), there is still a lot to like here as Kyrie checks a lot of boxes. First of all, Luka is facing a one-game suspension for his 16th technical foul which should hand a large portion of the ball handling and usage to Kyrie who has seen 23 and 24 shots in the last two games he has played without Luka. The Mavericks are also in desperate need of a win now sitting a game back of the play-in and luckily get a nice matchup against the Pacers' 26th-ranked defence. At a price that is back under $10K on both sites, Kyrie is in play in all formats Monday. Tyrese Maxey FD - $7700 DK - $7700 Opponent - DEN Proj Pts FD - 37.14 DK - 40.18 We have a matchup between top three teams in each conference with the 76ers currently sitting as five-point dogs which does tell us a little bit about the status of James Harden who has missed each of the last three games. No matter the status, I am on board with Maxey who has been playing terrific in the short-term(with & without Harden) averaging 26.4 points, 4.6 rebounds, and 5.0 assists for just over 43 fantasy points per game. We are projecting a close, high-scoring game and while the Nuggets rank 14th overall in defensive efficiency they have struggled against guards giving up the fourth most fantasy points to the position. Maxey is in play in all formats and would get a nice boost in PTS/$ if Harden sits again. Stay tuned. Shaedon Sharpe FD - $7200 DK - $6200 Opponent - NO Proj Pts FD - 30.61 DK - 33.04 Portland's 2023 first-round pick is finally getting thrust into a bigger role and has looked terrific in the process. He has played monster minutes(35+ in each), led the team in shots, and dropped 24 or more real points and 34 or more fantasy points in all three games. The opportunity should remain as Lillard could be shut down for the season and Simons is once again questionable. The price is getting out of reach on FanDuel, especially in a...
