Wednesday night features 10, count ’em, 10 NBA games on the slate! That’s a lot of basketball, and as such, there are a bunch of quality options available to plug into your DraftKings lineups. There are some great matchups to keep in mind, most notably Clippers/Grizzlies, 76ers/Raptors, and Hornets/Timberwolves.
A good DFS lineup should have a solid mix of mid-priced players with a steady floor as well as some expensive high-scoring studs and cheap upside plays. Here are ten players to consider when setting your lineups today.

Top Dollar
Stephen Curry (PG/SG – GSW): $9,700 @ CLE
In his first action in over three weeks on Saturday, Curry finished with 27 points. He followed that up with 30 points in Monday’s win over the Hawks showing that he’s not rusty at all. He’s clearly the lynchpin of this team, and his excellent three-point shooting makes him a threat to detonate on any given night. With two games back under his belt and facing one of the NBA’s most giving defenses, Curry could easily have a blowup performance at the Q when the Warriors travel to Cleveland to face the Cavs.
Andre Drummond (C – DET): $8,800 @ MIL
The big man’s price is still near the top, but it’s fallen significantly from $9,600 just a week ago. He had a bad game against the Thunder on Monday night, but so did the entire Piston’s team, totaling only 83 points in a blowout 27-point loss. As a result, Drummond played his fewest minutes in a month (23), 10 below his season average. Drummond is one of the best rebounding bigs in the game, and his league-leading 15.9 boards per game gives him a high floor even when he has a bad night offensively. He’ll be in for a lot of work tonight as the Pistons try to slow down Giannis and the Bucks in Milwaukee, and this looks like a prime bounce-back game for Drummond. His $8,800 price tag is a great deal for a player of his caliber.

John Wall (PG – WAS): $9,400 @ ATL
Wall and the Wiz travel to Atlanta riding a two-game winning streak to face the rebuilding Hawks tonight. Neither team is particularly sound on defense, both ranking in the bottom seven in defensive efficiency this year. Washington (116.7) and Atlanta (118.5) also give up the most PPG to opposing teams. It’s no surprise that the Over/Under on this one is the highest of any matchup tonight at 233, and there should be a lot of scoring. Wall is averaging a modest 21.3 PPG, but his 8.4 dimes and 1.7 steals make him an elite fantasy option every night. He’s averaging 43 DK PPG on the season, but he’s topped 50 in two of his last five. A big game should be on tap for Wall in this one.
Mid-Range
Montrezl Harrell (PF/C – LAC): $6,900 @MEM
Harrell’s consistent production is a big reason why the Clippers are currently the #2 seed in the West right now. He’s coming off of a down game where he only put up 19.8 DK points, but in the five games prior that, he put up nearly 39 DK PPG. For some reason, his price has dropped from $7,600 to $6,900 since Monday, and he will be a solid play as the Clippers enter the “Grindhouse” to face a Grizzlies’ squad they beat on November 23. It should be noted that Harrell put up 43.3 points in that game despite Memphis’ tough defense.
Kyle Kuzma (SF/PF – LAL): $6,600 vs. SA
I really wanted to recommend LeBron James in this article, but Kuzma is the better bang for your buck tonight. Gone are the days of San Antonio’s stout defense, and the Spurs this year rank in the bottom third of the league in defensive efficiency and PPG allowed. Kuzma has been playing lights out recently, notching 42.5 DK points in just three quarters against the Suns on Sunday. He’s a lock for 30 minutes tonight against the Spurs, and his price is affordable.
Robert Covington (SF/PF – MIN): $6,600 vs. CHA
Covington has been an excellent contributor for the T-Wolves since he was traded to Minnesota, but he has really stepped on the gas over the last couple of weeks. He put up a season-high 24 points and 44.3 DK points against Cleveland on November 26, and since then, he’s averaged nearly 40 DK points per game. He’s been doing it all, averaging 15 points, eight boards, and three steals in his last two games. With the ability to stuff the stat sheet and playing at a high level, he’s a great play tonight with his modest price.
Pascal Siakam (PF – TOR): $6,100 vs. PHI
Siakam has been a consistent contributor for the Raptors this year, averaging 15-6 and chipping in almost three assists per game. He’s another 30 minute player with a lot of upside tonight. The 76ers allow a healthy 52.1 DK PPG to opposing PFs – second worst in the league – and Siakam should exceed his 29.9 DK points season average. At only $6,100, this play makes a lot of sense.
Bargain Bin
Kevon Looney (PF/C – GSW): $4,200 @CLE
Looney got the starting nod on Monday against the Hawks, and he put up a season-high 34 DK points, playing a season-high 29 minutes. Damian Jones is likely done for the year with a torn pec, and Draymond Green will be out again tonight, leaving the door open for another start and some increased minutes for Looney. He should be able to parlay his increased minutes to DFS success tonight as a cheap option.
Miles Bridges (SF – CHA): $4,100 @MIN
Bridges was another player who totaled season-highs in minutes and DK points this week, playing 29 minutes and racking up 33 DK points in Sunday’s loss to the Pelicans. His increased production came at the expense of starter Marvin Williams who left that game early with a shoulder injury. Williams has been ruled out for tonight, and Bridges should see another game with substantial playing time. Already averaging nearly 26 DK points in his last three, he’s a huge value with upside.
Kevin Huerter (SG – ATL): $3,700 vs. WAS
Huerter has been great recently, and Washington presents a middle of the road matchup, allowing 41.5 DK points to opposing SGs this season. Huerter is averaging 29 minutes and 20.3 DK points per game this year, and at only $3,700, he doesn’t need to score a lot to hit value. The rookie from Maryland should continue to see a strong allotment of minutes in the starting five, and his three-point shooting makes him a threat to pop off at any time. As mentioned above, this game has the highest Over/Under of the night and two teams who don’t play good defense. I like Huerter as a bargain in my lineups tonight.
