All their ardent, passionate and religious hardwork inside the bubble boils down to today’s encounter for the Phoenix Suns. While no one can ever discount the gruelling work embedded by the side since the restart of the marquee league, a defeat today would pour cold water over the side’s current 7 game winning spree as it chases a spot in the top 8 of the Western Conference.
DraftKings NBA DFS Picks
Point Guard
Stud
Damian Lillard, 11,200
Ever since his fracas with Paul George, Damian Lillard has been a man on a mission. Although he’s buried the hatchet with George ever since, Lillard is out to prove a point with his 61 point performance the last time around coming in the wake of a gargantuan 50 point showing prior to that result.
Value
Trey Burke, 4,400
With Dallas Mavericks set to approach this one as a practice encounter as the side veers up for the playoffs, Trey Burke will be accorded an elevated role. He’s become a crucial name for them inside the bubble with his ability to send down the triples from the midrange region.
Eric Bledsoe, 5800
Although he’s set to be restricted today, we just can’t leave Eric Bledsoe out for the outing. With Giannis suspended and a massively weakened Memphis side awaiting Bledsoe, the point guard can put on a real show today as he utilises his quick break points to lay up the dimes.
Shooting Guard
Stud
Devin Booker, 9800
In a Phoenix Suns side which is currently on a seven game winning spin, its extremely difficult to nail one player whose been responsible for the side’s rejuvenation. However, Devin Book has managed to stand out amongst his counterparts with the player leaving entire defences aghast with the triples he’s lined up recently.
Small Forward
Value
Rude Gay, 5700
Rude Gay been quite a find for San Antonio Spurs inside the bubble. The player’s incredible performances are well documented for the three pointers he’s subjected for the club off late with the player shooting treys at 42% inside the bubble.
James Ennis III, 4,500
With Orlando Magic fraught with injuries right now, James Ennis II is set to be asked to take a role in the side’s starting 5 today. And with him being someone capable of back stepping and shooting off the board, the player makes for sublime value.
Power Forward
Value
Khem Birch, 3,700
He’s been left massively in the cold this season with his minutes being restricted to frugal substitute appearances but Birch is finally getting much yearned for appearances. He’s set to be included in the side’s shooting arounds today as well and with an innate skill set to line up the alleyoops, we’ll be ingraining him in our side.
Centre
Value
Rodions Kurucs, 4,300
Not only is he capable of sending down the jump points but is a lethal presence inside the paint owing to his ability to latch onto the second chance points and come up with free throws at a high success rate.
