Injury Report
Core Plays
Domantas Sabonis (PF/C – SAC): $10,100 DraftKings, $10,100 FanDuel
Not enough people are talking about how good Sabonis has been. The Sacramento big man has scored at least 42 DraftKings points in all but four games over the last three months. He’s also got a 51-point average in that span, flirting with a triple-double on a nightly basis. One of those should be easy to pick up against Dallas, with the Mavs possessing the worst defensive rating since acquiring Kyrie Irving.
Jalen Brunson (PG – NYK): $9,200 DraftKings, $9,400 FanDuel
It’s going to be fun watching Brunson take over this offense. He’s doing everything with Julius Randle sidelined, averaging 45 DK points per game in the last eight games he’s finished. That’s not far off of his season averages, making Brunson tough to avoid with the boost in minutes, shot attempts, and usage. We don’t anticipate the Pacers to slow him down, ranked 26th in defensive efficiency and 28th in points allowed.
Mikal Bridges (SF – BKN): $8,600 DraftKings, $9,100 FanDuel
Bridges has taken over this Brooklyn offense since the Durant trade, and it’s clear he’s the franchise player they want to build around. Mikal has scored at least 46 DraftKings points in five straight fixtures. That’s the best stretch of this guy’s career, but it will continue since he’s receiving 20 shots and 40 minutes a night. Detroit couldn’t be a better matchup, with the Pistons ranked 28th in defensive efficiency and 29th in points allowed.
Cash Game Considerations
Luka Doncic (PG – DAL): $12,000 DraftKings, $12,200 FanDuel
This might be the final game we see Luka this year, but you can expect the All-Star to leave it all on the line with Dallas fighting for their playoff lives. He’s already leading the league in usage rate and fantasy points, averaging 61 DK points per game. He’s also established a 45-point floor and could play 45 minutes here with the Mavs playing for their season. Sacramento is a superb matchup, too, sitting 28th in points allowed.
Kawhi Leonard (SF/PF – LAC): $10,200 DraftKings, $10,200 FanDuel
Kawhi has been unbelievable in the second half. The Claw has scored at least 36 DK points in 34 of his last 36 games. The only two duds were shortened for odd reasons, with Kawhi compiling a 48-point average in that span. An upside game appears more likely against LA, with the Lakers ranked fourth on pace and 20th in total defense. In their last matchup, Leonard had 48 fantasy points.
Delon Wright (PG/SG – WAS): $6,400 DraftKings, $7,000 FanDuel
Washington is starting to tank, leaving Wright with a monster role. They’re expected to be without Beal, Porzingis, Kuzma, and Morris. That should guarantee Wright 30-35 minutes as one of the primary ball handlers. This guy has always been a stud in a prominent role, averaging 34 DK points per game when he plays at least 29 minutes. His stat-stuffing ways have established that astonishing average, and we’re not worried about him facing a 25th-ranked Atlanta defense.
GPP Targets
Jalen Duren (PF/C – DET): $5,100 DraftKings, $6,500 FanDuel
We will take a swing here because Duren could be incredible if he receives the role we’re anticipating. Stewart and Bagley are both out for Detroit, and it should earn Duren a 30-minute role. This rookie has been remarkable when given a large workload, averaging 32 DK points per game in the 28 outings he’s played at least 27 minutes. That should happen in this closing week, and we certainly don’t mind that Duren dropped 30 and 32 DK points in his two matchups with the Nets this year.
Jalen Smith (PF/C – IND): $5,300 DraftKings, $6,000 FanDuel
The Pacers are another tanking team, and it’s been most beneficial for Smith. He’s getting a ton of run at power forward, and center with Turner sidelined, regularly playing 25 minutes a night off the bench. That’s allowed Smith to score at least 26 DraftKings points in four of his last five games. That’s all you can ask for from such an affordable player, and he could get even more playing time in this meaningless final week.
Bobby Portis (PF – MIL): $6,600 DraftKings, $6,700 FanDuel
This is another guess, but we’re anticipating some of the Bucks starters resting in this B2B. Giannis, Jrue, and Lopez look like prime candidates to sit, and if even two of those guys are out, BP would be an elite GPP play. In the last four games that Giannis has sat, Portis has scored at least 31 DK points in all of them. He’s also got a 40-point average in that span, and it looks even better since BP provided 38 DK points in his last matchup with Chicago.
Value Plays
Mitchell Robinson (C – NYK): $5,400 DraftKings, $6,800 FanDuel
Robinson is stepping into a more significant role with Randle out, and it’s hard to understand why he’s so cheap on DraftKings. Mitch-Rob has scored 34 and 38 DK points in the last two games that Randle has missed. The bump in shot attempts, usage, and rebounds is what makes him so valuable, and he should pummel a Pacers team surrendering the third-most fantasy points to opposing centers. Robinson registered 37 and 39 DK points in their two meetings this season!
John Collins (PF – ATL): $5,300 DraftKings, $5,400 FanDuel
Collins saw a massive price drop because of a poor stretch, but he’s back to balling over recent weeks. He’s scored at least 24 DK points in eight of his last nine games. JC is also providing over 30 DK points per game in that span and has been a $7K player for most of his career. Washington is a beautiful matchup, too, with the Wizards sitting almost all of their starters.
