NBA DFS Point Guard: Malcolm Brogdon $6,900 FanDuel $7,000 DraftKingsÂ
Malcolm Brogdon is averaging 1.16 fantasy points per minute with a 25.0 usage percentage and 35.3 assist rate on the season. Shooting 44.0% from the field, Brogdon is posting 16.6 points, 4.8 rebounds, 7.3 assist good for 33.3 fantasy points per game. He gets a date with his former team the Milwaukee Bucks who are destroying everybody that crosses their path, but I think Brogdon has a chip on his shoulder and will be up for the challenge.Â
*BONUS ROUND* Luka Doncic, Lonzo Ball, Chris PaulÂ
NBA DFS Shooting Guard: Bradley Beal $10,300 FanDuel $10,600 DraftKingsÂ
Bradley Beal is averaging over the last month, 1.47 fantasy points per minute with a 38.3 usage percentage and 26.9 assist percentage. He is blazing hot right now and is posting 30.4 points, 4.3 rebounds, 6.1 assist good for 46.1 fantasy points per game average. The Washinton Wizards will head to Portland for a show-down with the Blazers who are allowing the fourth-most points to opposing offenses and have the third worst overall defensive rating in the NBA.Â
*BONUS ROUND* Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, C.J. McCollum, Donovan MitchellÂ
NBA DFS Small Forward: Giannis Antetokounmpo $11,600 FanDuel $11,400 DraftKingsÂ
Giannis Antetokounmpo has averaged on the season, 29.6 points per game, 13.8 rebounds, 5.8 assist good for 57.4 fantasy points per game average. Playing 30.9 minutes per game, Giannis in competitive games has 70-80 ceiling potential. This game looks to be competitive as the Indiana Pacers are ranked 7th in points allowed and defensive rating which should bode well for Giannis hopefully pushing him to the 35-40-minute threshold. He is averaging 1.90 fantasy points per minute with a 37.6 usage percentage and 32.9 assist rate.Â

*BONUS ROUND* Jaylen Brown, Denzel Valentine, Gordon HaywardÂ
NBA DFS Power Forward: Bam Adebayo $8,400 FanDuel $8,500 DraftKingsÂ
Bam Adebayo is posting in 34.4 minutes per, 16.2 points, 10.5 rebounds, 5.1 assist and two combined steal/block good for 41.2 fantasy points per game. With the Orlando Magic coming to town, Adebayo should have his hands full but is projecting very well despite Orlando ranking in the top-ten in both points allowed and defensive rating. In his last two meetings with the Magic, Adebayo went for 49 and 47 fantasy points respectively.Â
*BONUS ROUND* Domantas Sabonis, Christian Wood, Kristaps PorzingisÂ
NBA DFS Center: Nikola Vucevic $8,300 FanDuel $8,500 DraftKingsÂ
Nikola Vucevic has averaged in 32.4 minutes per, 19.3 points, 10.8 rebounds, 3.6 assist and two combined steal/block per game for the season. He is shooting 46% from the field on 16.9 attempts and 32.9% from 3 on 4.8 attempts good for an average of 41.6 fantasy points per game. The matchup isn’t great against the Miami Heat, but he is averaging 37-plus fantasy points in four meetings this year.Â
*BONUS ROUND* Hassan Whiteside, Steven Adams, Jonas ValanciunasÂ
