Shooting Guard:

Nicolas Batum vs Chicago Bulls

Batum is a very under rated DFS player. He plays big minutes, gives you stats in every category and now gets a Bulls team that has given up. He reaches value almost every night and is usually under owned especially for how consistent he is. Play Batum tonight because shoot guard is weak.

Gary Harris vs Los Angeles Lakers

Gary Harris is at a good price point and has received 34 minutes or more in seven of his last eight games. Minutes equal daily fantasy success. The Nuggets and Lakers game will be fast paced and high scoring. Game stacking this game would be a great way to earn some money tonight.

Tony Snell vs Memphis Grizzles

Snell is not very good at basketball but he gets minutes and is only 4000 on DK. He has been playing better lately and he might go less than 2 percent owned because this game is going to be painful to watch. He doesn’t have to do much to reach value and that is all I am looking for him to do. He is a play to help free up salary at other positions.

Small Forward:

Andrew Wiggins vs Washington Wizards

Wiggins has been struggling lately and he is too good to keep that up. He has only scored over 30 DK points once in his last five games which has made his price drop. He was 8,200 five games ago and now he is 7100. Whenever I can get a player at below market value, I will jump all over it. This game has the making of a shoot-out and if it is, Wiggins will be a big part of it

Brandon Ingram vs Denver Nuggets

Ingram is still cheap and is still receiving 35 plus minutes. This is a fast-paced game and with Ingram being on the court for three quarters of it, he must be in your lineups. Don’t expect elite production but if he happens to go off, you will win your tournament.
