DraftKings NBA DFS Picks

Point Guard 

Value

Anfernee Simons, 3,000

Our cheapest pick for the day, the Portland Trial Blazers’ not only offered us pristine value on a day where we’ll need to break the bank for the wordclass players but is a name who comes into our side in the wake of an impeccable showing. With 23 points in foregone scrimmage, he’s too good a pick to let slip out of our hands, someone who could end up making a real difference at the end of the day.

Shooting Guard

Stud

James Harden, 11,100

His endeavours against Dallas Mavericks ended up making all the difference in that skirmish. The four point swing between the two sides in the 153-149 game was down to the staggering 49 points Harden ended up dropping on the day, a performance which makes him a must have selection for the encounter.

Value

Ashton Rivers, 3,300

With 8.5 ppg, Austin Rivers offers sublime value for us for the impending encounter. The player has been handed over an escalated role, one he utilised to go on the ascendancy the last time around as he delivered a string of floating jump points for the side. 

Small Forward

Stud

Luka Doncic, 10,800

A 15th double-double for Luka Doncic all but won the contest for his side against Houston Rockets the last time around.

Value

Lonnie Walker IV, 3,500

Power Forward

Stud

Giannis Antetokounmpo, 11,000

Giannis needed no time to resuming normal service. The power forward showed why he’s considered as the fulcrum of this Milwaukee Bucks’ juggernaut. He came up with a staggering showing for his side against Brooklyn Nets to peddle out a hard fought 119-112 win for the side with the player’s ability to canter his way into both of the side’s ambits making him a real force to be reckoned with. 

Value

Timothe Luwawu-Cabarrot, 4,000

In what was his top scoring performance, Timothe ended up shooting a staggering 24 points inside the paint for his side the last time around.
