Guards

Andrew Wiggins (MIN): $8,400 @ HOU
Wiggins was on my advice sheet yesterday but was ultimately held out of the game due to a personal matter. Now, Wiggins – and the Timberwolves – return on the second night of a back-to-back, but the stud won’t be affected obviously. As of recently, Wiggins has been on an absolute tear, scoring over 41 DraftKings points in all of his past five contests and scoring above 50 points three times in that same span. The Rockets are ranked 17^th in defensive rating and 4^th in pace, leaving Wiggins and his team in the paciest game of the night, which will also likely lead the slate in implied total.

Jimmy Butler (MIA): $7,600 @ NO
Butler has yet to fully find his form in his new home in Miami, but the superstar has reached value in nearly all of his recent contests, proving he’s a varied scorer who contributes on both sides of the court. The New Orleans Pelicans represent a fantastic matchup as they rank 29^th in defensive rating and 3^rd in pace. Basically, any Heat players are smart to target, but Butler has the chance to explode against the weak defense of the Pelicans.

Aaron Holiday (IND): $4,900 @ MIL
Holiday has quietly become a very solid DFS player since receiving starts at the two-spot in the absence of Jeremy Lamb. Holiday’s price is still low enough to where he can reach value relatively easily and has in five of his past six games. Holiday has the chance to really scoop up a lot of work as starting PG Malcolm Brogdon may actually miss the contest due to an injury that knocked him out of Friday night’s contest.

Fred VanVleet (TOR): $7,100 @ DAL
Mr. anti-load management, VanVleet has become an absolute revelation for the injury-ravaged Toronto Raptors. FVV continues to takes steps forward in his development, this time increasing his role from key sixth-man to an excellent starter. FVV registers a ton of playing time as he’s hit 35+ minutes in all of his past six games. The Dallas Mavericks aren’t a great matchup as they rank 21^st in defensive rating and 21^st in pace, but they aren’t a juggernaut and the majority of the load will fall on FVV and Pascal Siakam’s shoulders for the defending champs.

Forwards

T.J. Warren (IND): $5,700 @ MIL
Warren’s matchup against the Milwaukee Bucks isn’t a good one, but he’s become the de facto top scoring option for the Indiana Pacers. Not only that, but Brogdon, Lamb, and Myles Turner could miss this contest. Warren put up an absolute stinker against the Houston Rockets yesterday scoring only 10.0 DraftKings points, but was operating with major foul trouble and eventually fouled out of the game completely. Warren only registered 22 minutes in the contest, though he’s registered over 30 minutes in every other game this season but one.

Donte DiVincenzo (MIL): 3,500 @ IND
Khris Middleton’s absence has opened a starting spot for the second-year player in DiVincenzo, but he struggled to make any hay scoring only 13.75 DraftKings points. Fortunately, DiVincenzo is so cheap, he really doesn’t need to do much to hit value. As long as he logs his 24 minutes of playing time, he has a decent shot to return value, even if the Pacers are ranked 8^th in defensive rating and 26^th in pace. Keep in mind, Brogdon potentially missing the contest changes a lot of factors, particularly on the defensive side of the ball.

Nassir Little (POR): $3,100 @ SA
Little – like DiVincenzo – is another insanely cheap player inserted into his teams starting lineup. The Portland Trail Blazers have decided to start the rookie at the four-spot. Little managed to score 17.25 DraftKings points in his first start, eclipsing value because of his minimum salary. The San Antonio Spurs are ranked 26^th in defensive rating and 15^th in pace, leaving Little with a ton of opportunity to reach his incredibly cheap value.

Centers

LaMarcus Aldridge (SA): $6,600 @ POR
Aldridge – and the Spurs in general – are a tough team to gauge, but the matchup against the Trail Blazers is a pretty good one as they rank 19^th in defensive rating and 10^th in pace. The contest is currently 4^th in implied total for the night, but only a point or two split the difference between the 2^nd and 4^th contest. The price for Aldridge is very fair as he’s eclipsed over 31 DraftKings points in three of his past four contests.

PJ Washington (CHA): $4,800 @ NY
Washington has struggled to hit value as of late, but this is a prime opportunity to buy low on him as his salary has regularly been over $5k and reached a maximum of $6.8k just a week or two ago. The New York Knicks present an awesome matchup for the Charlotte Hornets as they rank 20^th in defensive rating but only 27^th in pace. Washington is an important piece for a team that is currently missing it’s starting two-guard, and now his price tag has appropriately dropped down to his recent production.
