Guards
Kemba Walker (CHA): $8,000 vs. NO
Walker is up against the Pelicans who are giving up 46 DraftKings points per game to point guards. This puts Walker in a great spot, and he should be viable for any format tonight. He has scored 38 or more points in four straight games, including a 52-point showing in his last game. Walker has a team-high 29% usage rate along with averaging 1.08 fantasy points per minute this season. This game has a massive 222-point over-under, so you will want to target this game for some DFS goodness. Walker has taken eight or more three-point attempts in each of his last three games.
Victor Oladipo (IND): $9,200 vs. PHO
Oladipo was recently named to the All-Star team for the first time in his career. He has scored 38 or more DraftKings points in three of his last four games and is now at home and up against the Suns who are giving up 46 DraftKings points per game to shooting guards which is last in the league. The Suns play at a fast pace and are weak defensively, so anytime they are on the slate you want to roster against them. This game has an over-under set at 216 points so we should see a high-scoring and fast-paced game.

Forwards
Kyle Anderson (SA): $5,900 @ MEM
The Spurs are dealing with a number of injuries right now, which has resulted in more playing time for Anderson and some of the younger players. We also have the Spurs on the second night of a back-to-back so they will likely be resting some of their starters, as is customary for them. Anderson is averaging 1.12 fantasy points per minute this season. This is a bit of a tougher matchup for him going up against the Grizzlies, but his minutes should be locked in given the shorter rotation for the Spurs.
Lauri Markkanen (CHI): $6,700 @ PHI
Markkanen has been an impressive rookie this season and has been on a nice stretch recently. He has scored 33 or more DraftKings points in seven of his last 10 games and is taking at least four attempts from behind the arc in that same span. His scoring upside is very strong, and with Kris Dunn being out for the Bulls, he now has a 23.7% usage rate. The scoring is there for him, and with him putting up eight or more rebounds in seven of his last eight games the DFS points are starting to really pile up. Markkanen is playing the 76ers tonight who are giving up 47 DraftKings points per game to power forwards.
Centers
Jonas Valanciunas (TOR): $5,500 @ ATL
Valanciunas is coming off a disastrous game where he only put up four DraftKings points in 11 minutes due to picking up four fouls. This should only add to him being considered one of the more inconsistent players to roster. However, with that is the potential to capitalize on recency bias. That should mean lower ownership which would give you an edge in tournaments. He is up against the Hawks who are giving up 54 DraftKings points per game to centers which is fourth worst in the league. In the two games he has played the Hawks this season, he has played an average of 20 minutes per game and has put up an average of 30 DK points.
Karl-Anthony Towns (MIN): $9,600 @ POR
With the status of Jimmy Butler unknown for the Timberwolves, Towns could be in a spot to gain. When Butler is off the court, Towns has a 25% usage rate and is averaging 1.30 fantasy points per minute. That is massive production from a player we already know is a double-double machine, which should make him viable for any format tonight. He has scored 39 or more DraftKings points in each of his last 10 games, making him one of the more consistent options on the slate.
