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
Ja Morant ($10,300 DK, $10,600 FD)
| PLAYER | TEAM | GP | W | L | MIN | PTS | TOUCHES | REB CHANCES | POTENTIAL AST |
| Ja Morant | MEM | 36 | 21 | 15 | 33.2 | 25.9 | 79.3 | 10.1 | 13.3 |
The Grizzlies are on a 7-3 run over their last 10 games and have jumped to 3rd place in the Western Conference, primarily due to the play of Ja Morant. Ja has scored over 60 fantasy points in 4 of his last 5 games, and he’s averaging 1.41 fantasy points per minute. This is a no-brainer at this point; I’ll be firing up Morant in all formats.
Shooting Guard
Josh Hart ($6,500 DK, $6,700 FD)
| PLAYER | TEAM | GP | W | L | MIN | PTS | TOUCHES | REB CHANCES | POTENTIAL AST |
| Josh Hart | NOP | 36 | 14 | 22 | 33.2 | 13.5 | 55.2 | 12.8 | 8.4 |
We have a lot of news to monitor for this one, Brandon Ingram, Jonas Valanciunas, and Devonte’ Graham are all questionable to play tonight. While I still like Hart in this spot regardless of the status of those players, it goes without saying he’ll be in a much better situation if some or all of them sit out.
Small Forward
Deni Avdija ($3,600 DK, $4,200 FD)
| PLAYER | TEAM | GP | W | L | MIN | PTS | TOUCHES | REB CHANCES | POTENTIAL AST |
| Deni Avdija | WAS | 48 | 23 | 25 | 22.6 | 7.4 | 33.7 | 8.4 | 3.1 |
Over his last 4 games, Avdija is averaging 11.5 points, 5 rebounds, 3 assists, and .5 stocks. He’s looking like one of the better value plays on DraftKings tonight.
Power Forward
Kristaps Porzingis ($7,400 DK, $8,200 FD)
| PLAYER | TEAM | GP | W | L | MIN | PTS | TOUCHES | REB CHANCES | POTENTIAL AST |
| Kristaps Porzingis | DAL | 33 | 18 | 15 | 30 | 19.7 | 54.3 | 13.7 | 3.4 |
The Mavs take on the Pacers tonight in Dallas; the Pacers rank 24th in Defensive Rating and 18th in Offensive Rating. Porzingis is putting up 15 shots a night, grabbing 8 rebounds, and averaging 1.27 fantasy points per minute.
Center
Bam Adebayo ($7,300 DK, $8,000 FD)
| PLAYER | TEAM | GP | W | L | MIN | PTS | TOUCHES | REB CHANCES | POTENTIAL AST |
| Bam Adebayo | MIA | 23 | 14 | 9 | 32.8 | 17.9 | 65 | 16.7 | 7.8 |
Since Bam’s return from injury, He’s averaging 15.8 points, 9 rebounds, 5 assists, and 2.7 stocks across 33 minutes played. The Heat have only lost 1 game over that span, and they’ll look to continue their run tonight. Bam is a little too cheap on DraftKings tonight, and I like his ceiling in this spot.
