NBA Fantasy Picks: DraftKings + FanDuel Boom Candidates

Andre Drummond vs. Celtics: $6,900 DraftKings/$6,800 FanDuel

25.9% DraftKings Boom/37.2% FanDuel Boom

Fool me once, shame on you; fool me 100 times, and maybe I should stop investing in the Lakers’ center rotation. There is a ton of variance here, but it’s hard to totally ignore Drummond especially when he’s the top DraftKings pick and the second-best FanDuel pick, according to the Awesemo Boom ratings. While the minutes aren’t there for Drummond lately, this is a result of foul issues. He keeps picking up early fouls and it’s keeping his minutes in check. Drummond has four or more personal fouls in three of the last four games. In the game he avoided fouls, the Lakers won by 25 and he didn’t have to play in the final stretch of the game. There is more playing time upside with Drummond than meets the eye if he avoids fouling.

Andrew Wiggins vs. Cavaliers: $6,900 DraftKings/$7,100 FanDuel

19% DraftKings Boom/26% FanDuel Boom

The Warriors are starting to creep up the standings. The key here is that Golden State is relying on its starters to play extra minutes down the stretch of the season. This is leading to a bit more fantasy production since the Warriors can’t afford to play conservatively with their rotations. Last night’s game was a blowout, but before that Wiggins played 41, 36 and 36 minutes in the three prior games. His playing time is on the rise, and there is a bit more usage going towards him since Kelly Oubre is out with a wrist injury, which has Wiggins popping in the Awesemo NBA DFS projections.

Devin Booker vs. Kings: $8,700 DraftKings/$9,000 FanDuel

63% DraftKings Bust/65.7% FanDuel Bust

The Suns are at the start of a brutal stretch of games where they will play nine times in 15 days. With this in mind, they may look to limit minutes for key players when possible. The Kings are playing on the tail end of a back-to-back and Phoenix is favored by 12.5 points. This makes one think that the Suns could ease up on the playing time for Booker and Chris Paul to keep everybody fresh during this upcoming stretch. Starters should not have to play full minutes for the Suns to win this game.
