Guards
Victor Oladipo (IND): $9,100 vs. DAL
Oladipo is the go-to guy for the Pacers as is shown by his 32% usage rate. He is seeing the ball a ton and is a great option in any format tonight. Oladipo can score 30 or more real points in really any game so he has a consistent floor with plenty of upside if he can fill the rest of the stat sheet. He is up against the Mavericks who are giving up 40 DraftKings points per game to shooting guards. Dallas is also on the second night of a back-to-back, putting him in a good spot. Oladipo is taking on average 19 shots per game over his last five games.
Donovan Mitchell (UTA): $7,000 @ GS
Mitchell will be playing up in pace against the Warriors which means he should see extra touches leading to extra fantasy points. Mitchell has a team-high 30% usage rate along with 1.00 fantasy points per minute. He has 31 or more DraftKings points in three of his last four games and is in a spot to match or exceed those numbers. Mitchell makes a good GPP option tonight since he can be somewhat reliant on scoring real points in order to reach value.

Forwards
Jayson Tatum (BOS): $5,600 @ CHA
Tatum is up against the Hornets who are giving up 42 DraftKings points per game to small forwards this season which is in the bottom 10 for the league. Tatum is one of the exciting young rookies in the NBA and has put up 31 or more DraftKings points in three of his last six games. He can chip in with some peripheral stats which can really boost his DFS value. Tatum is averaging 0.87 fantasy points per minute which is very strong considering he only has an 18.6% usage rate.
Taj Gibson (MIN): $6,000 vs. DEN
Gibson is certainly not one of the flashier players to roster when it comes to NBA DFS, but he gets the job done. He is averaging 27 DraftKings points over his last five games and is now up against the Nuggets in a game with an over-under set at 214 points which is the second highest on the slate. Gibson can really add up the rebounds, giving him an outside chance at a double-double which is great for tournaments. He only has a 15% usage rate but is averaging 0.79 fantasy points per minute. He may not see the ball a ton every game, but he is effective with it when he does.
Centers
Myles Turner (IND): $6,700 vs. DAL
The Mavericks are giving up 53 DraftKings points per game to centers, putting Turner in a very favorable spot. In his last four games, he has two games at 38 DK points or higher and two games at 18 DK points or lower. Big variance for him, and that range of outcomes is not something you would want for cash games, so look for him more as a GPP play. He has scored 20 or more real points in two of his last three games, so if he can chip in with some of the other stat categories he will be in a great spot to really rack up a ton of DFS points.
Enes Kanter (NY): $6,800 @ CHI
Kanter is having a very solid season for the Knicks and is going a bit underappreciated. He has 55 or more DraftKings points in two straight games and is up against the Bulls who are giving up 51 DraftKings points per game to centers. Kanters has a 22.7% usage rate along with averaging 1.17 fantasy points per minute. He is super efficient when he is on the court and can really rack up the rebounds. He has 16 or more rebounds in two of his last three games giving him great tournament upside. This game has an over-under of 208 points.
