Guards
Dennis Schroder (ATL): $8,200 @ ORL
Schroder is really the best offensive player the Hawks have, so he is seeing a ton of looks on offense. He has a 31% usage rate and is averaging 1.09 fantasy points per minute this season. Strong number from the young point guard, who finds himself in a very favorable matchup. He is up against the Magic, who are giving up 51 DraftKings points per game to point guards, which is second worst in the league. Schroder’s price has risen over $1K in the past few games which may scare some people off of him, so he could come in at lower ownership in tournaments.
Victor Oladipo (IND): $8,900 vs. CHI
Oladipo is lightning it up with the Pacers to start the season, and he makes a great play in any format tonight. With his 32% usage rate, you know he will be in the mix on offense which makes him a good cash game play. As for his tournament upside, when he gets going he will start to take a ton of shots, as he has 19 or more field goal attempts in five of his last 10 games. He is averaging 1.24 fantasy points per minute and is up against the Bulls who are giving up 41 DraftKings points per game to shooting guards, which 11th worst in the league.

Forwards
Giannis Antetokounmpo (MIL): $11,100 vs. DET
It should go without saying that Antetokounmpo is a great option any night, but you should take an extra close look tonight. He is the third most expensive player on the slate tonight, so you are going to have to find some value elsewhere in order to fit him into your lineup. Tonight he is up against the Pistons who may be known for playing a bit slow but are very weak at guarding the small forward position. This season, the Pistons are giving up 44 DraftKings points per game to small forwards, which is fourth worst in the league. This is a prime spot for the Greek Freak, and you should look to get him in any spot you can afford him. With the value plays that are opening up because of injuries, the roster construction path to some of these top players is getting a bit easier.
Dante Cunningham (NO): $3,600 vs. DEN
Cunningham got the start last game for the Pelicans since Anthony Davis is out, and he is set to get it again tonight. Cunningham offers a ton of salary relief tonight, and if we know his minutes are going to be locked in as a starter, he should be one of the more popular value plays. Last game, he put up 26 DraftKings points in 32 minutes, which is really solid production from a player at his price. He really only needs 18 DraftKings points in order to reach 5x value, so if he has an exact repeat of his previous game he will be a fantastic play tonight. It also helps that he is up against the Nuggets who are giving up 51 DraftKings points per game to power forwards which is second worst in the league.
Centers
Kevin Love (CLE): $8,400 vs. SAC
Love always makes an interesting option at center because he has plenty of scoring upside due to the three ball. Tonight he is up against the Kings who are giving up 59 DraftKings points per game to centers. With Love having dual position eligibility on DraftKings, it can really open up some options for you during your roster builds. Love has scored 45 or more DraftKings points in three of his last four games. He has a usage rate sitting at 27% along with averaging 1.23 fantasy points per minute. I really like him for cash games tonight since the consistency is there and also the favorable matchup.
Al Horford (BOS): $7,400 vs. DAL
Horford is a player who often goes overlooked at center since he isn’t the flashiest player, but he still has plenty of DFS value. He has scored 40 or more DraftKings points in four of his last five games and is up against the Mavericks who are giving up 52 fantasy points per game to centers. He has a usage rate of 19% while averaging 1.06 fantasy points per minute. He is a nice middle of the road option and could be a good pivot play in tournaments.
