NBA DFS Pick No. 1: Trae Young $10,200 FanDuel $10,600 DraftKings
Trae Young has averaged 1.52 fantasy points per minute with a 34.5 usage percentage and 41.9 percent assist percentage this year. He is playing 35.3 minutes per game, averaging 30.1 points, 9.2 assists, 4.4 rebounds and one steal. Young is also attempting 20-plus shots and draining 44.4% from the field, nine of which come from 3 at a 37.4% rate, good for an average of 48.0 fantasy points per game. The Hawks get the Mavericks at home, who are allowing 110.5 points per game to opposing offenses.
*Honorable Mention: Luka Doncic $10,000 FanDuel $10,200 DraftKings
**Honorable Mention: James Harden $11,100 FanDuel $10,900 DraftKings
NBA DFS Pick No. 2: Giannis Antetokounmpo $11,300 FanDuel $11,200 DraftKings
The Bucks are blazing a path through the NBA this year and Giannis Antetokounmpo is leading the charge. He has been magnificent, averaging 1.91 fantasy points per minute with a 37.9 usage percentage and 21.0 assist rate. Giannis is getting you 30.0 points, 13.5 rebounds, 5.8 assist and two combined steals/blocks. With Philadelphia coming to town, Giannis should be good to go and is a core play for me.
*Honorable Mention: Robert Covington $6,100 FanDuel $5,900 DraftKings
**Honorable Mention: Donovan Mitchell $6,900 FanDuel $7,400 DraftKings

NBA DFS Pick No. 3: Caris LeVert $6,200 FanDuel $7,000 DraftKings
Caris LeVert is averaging 1.04 fantasy points per minute with a 27.6 usage percentage and 21.3 percent assist percentage. He has played solidly since coming back from injury and with the news of Kyrie Irving missing the rest of the season, LeVert will get a chance to showcase his skill set with 32.5% of usage left by Kyrie to be absorbed by him and Spencer Dinwiddie. On the season, LeVert is posting 15.6 points, 3.7 rebounds, 3.6 assists and one combined steal/block. No longer on a minute restriction, his minutes have increased every game, playing 39 and 36 in his last two. For his upside and price point, I love LeVert in this spot.
*Honorable Mention: Deandre Ayton $9,000 FanDuel $8,700 DraftKings
**Honorable Mention: Jordan Clarkson $5,300 FanDuel $5,300 DraftKings
