We have a 12-game slate tonight, so you will have no problem finding value to go along with the high-priced studs that are on the board. There are currently six games that have an over-under set at 210 points or higher. Those are the games you want to target, as they should be a good source of fantasy points.

Guards
James Harden (HOU): $11,000 HOU @ NY
Since Chris Paul has been off the court, Harden has a 36% usage rate. The Rockets are running the offense the same way they did last season. Harden is the center of the offense, and the other players flow around him. He has taken 18 or more shot attempts in each game this season and is now up against the Knicks, who are giving up 51 DraftKings points per game to point guards. Harden should be one of the top options any night, and tonight is no different. With the amount he sees the ball, he has triple-double upside and can be a building block of your lineup.
Dion Waiters (MIA): $5,800 vs. CHI
Waiters stands to be in a good spot tonight if Heat point guard Goran Dragic is out. Dragic is listed as questionable for this game, so be sure to check the final status before tip-off. Waiters has a 24.9% usage rate, which is highest on the team, and with Dragic potentially being out, we should see that number even higher. He has double-digit real points in three of his last four games, and two or more three-pointers made in three of six games this season. With the deep ball being extra valuable on DraftKings, getting a player who can hit multiple at this price point is a great value.

Forwards
Otto Porter Jr. (WAS): $7,100 WAS vs PHO
Porter is off to a strong start this season, as he has 30 DraftKings points or more in four of his six games. His price has come up a bit over the past week or so, but he still makes a good play tonight, since the Wizards have the highest implied team-total on the slate at 118 points. If they are projected to be scoring that many points, you want to have as much exposure to the game as you can. Porter is the third highest priced player on the Wizards, so if you are looking to get off of John Wall, you can still have some play in this game. Porter doesn’t have the highest ceiling and only has an 18.9% usage rate, but he still makes a strong play considering the start he has had to this season.
Ben Simmons (PHI): $8,800 PHI vs ATL
The rookie sensation for Philly is off to a great start this season, and even though his price has risen over the first few weeks, he has double-double potential almost every night, along with triple-double potential that is nearly there. He is truly filling the stat sheet in points, rebounds, and assists, which is exactly what you want to see as a DFS player. He has scored 42 or more DraftKings points in six of his seven games this season and has an implied team total of 109 points tonight, which is fifth highest on the slate. He is up against the Hawks, who are giving up 50 DraftKings points per game to power forwards. Simmons does have dual position eligibility on DraftKings. Use that to your advantage and roster him along with another big-name player.
Centers
Al Horford (BOS): $7,400 BOS vs. SAC
Horford should really be much higher priced tonight, and because he isn’t, he is a borderline lock. Horford is up against the Kings, who are giving up 63 DraftKings points per game to centers, which is dead last in the league. The Kings are a young team and don’t play great defense, so you want to target them any time they are playing. Horford has 40 or more DraftKings points in three of his last four games and should see the ball plenty given his matchup. Horford and the Celtics are 12-point favorites at home, so this is a spot where they should deliver.
Domantas Sabonis (IND): $5,700 IND @ CLE
Sabonis has been seeing a bunch of playing time over past few games since the Pacers are dealing with a number of injuries. Sabonis has 36 or more DraftKings points in three of his last four games and is up against the Cavaliers, who are giving up 55 DK points per game to the position. At only $5,700, Sabonis needs 28 fantasy points to pay off at 5x salary, which is the standard for cash games. Anything more than that, and he will crush value. If he is going to be in the starting lineup again, you can lock him into any of your lineups. He’s a great play for the price and the new role he has on the team.
