Please note that players on DraftKings and FanDuel have multi-position eligibility and may not always match their position between each other. In this article, we will be breaking down some of our favorite plays on the slate at their positions. Remember to keep your eye on the news as the day progresses, as NBA news frequently changes the slate.
Point Guard
Dejounte Murray ($9,900 DK, $9,700 FD)
| PLAYER | TEAM | GP | W | L | MIN | PTS | TOUCHES | REB CHANCES | POTENTIAL AST |
| Dejounte Murray | SAS | 24 | 9 | 15 | 34.8 | 18.9 | 87.9 | 14.3 | 15.6 |
The Spurs take on the Nuggets again tonight in the last of the 2 game series. In the last game, Murray scored 20 points, grabbed 8 rebounds, and dished 8 assists. Murray has been sensational this season, averaging 1.33 fantasy points per minute and I like him in this spot regardless of the sub-par matchup.
Shooting Guard
Terence Davis ($3,700 DK, $5,700 FD)
| PLAYER | TEAM | GP | W | L | MIN | PTS | TOUCHES | REB CHANCES | POTENTIAL AST |
| Terence Davis | SAC | 16 | 7 | 9 | 17 | 8.9 | 24 | 5 | 1.9 |
Yesterday I talked about how egregious Terence Davis’ Draftkings salary was at $4,000 due to his new role under interim coach Alvin Gentry, he went on to score 38 DK points at 9.5x value. So, naturally, Draftkings lowered his salary to $3,700 for tonight’s slate.
Small Forward
Caleb Martin ($3,500 DK, $4,900 FD)
| PLAYER | TEAM | GP | W | L | MIN | PTS | TOUCHES | REB CHANCES | POTENTIAL AST |
| Caleb Martin | MIA | 23 | 13 | 10 | 19.6 | 7.6 | 22.7 | 6.4 | 1.7 |
The Heat will continue to be without Jimmy Butler, Bam Adebayo, and Markieff Morris in tonight’s matchup against the Bulls. In his last game, Caleb Martin stepped up big scoring 28 points on 9 for 12 shooting across 34 minutes played with a 20.4% usage rate. The Bulls rank 22nd in fantasy points allowed to the small forward position.
UPDATE: CALEB MARTIN IS OUT
Power Forward
Evan Mobley ($6,700 DK, $7,500 FD)
| PLAYER | TEAM | GP | W | L | MIN | PTS | TOUCHES | REB CHANCES | POTENTIAL AST |
| Evan Mobley | CLE | 22 | 14 | 8 | 33.8 | 14 | 58.2 | 14.7 | 5.1 |
The Cavs have the 3rd best Defensive Rating in the NBA and Evan Mobley is a huge part of their early success this season. Tonight they match up against the Kings, who are on the opposite end of the spectrum, ranking 27th in Defensive Rating. Mobley is averaging .99 fantasy points per minute.
Center
Nikola Jokic ($11,900 DK, $11,200 FD)
| PLAYER | TEAM | GP | W | L | MIN | PTS | TOUCHES | REB CHANCES | POTENTIAL AST |
| Nikola Jokic | DEN | 20 | 11 | 9 | 32.9 | 26.1 | 99.5 | 20.5 | 12.9 |
No brainer play alert. The Joker is averaging 1.72 fantasy points per minute this season and in his last matchup against the Spurs, he dropped 22 points, 13 rebounds, 10 assists, and 3 stocks. While his salary is extremely high, I think he’s more than capable of exceeding value in this spot.
