NBA DFS & Props Shows w/ Tyler & Shannon

DFS Main Slate Rundown 📰

After a quiet Monday that featured just two games, we’ll be looking at a busy NBA Tuesday with 10 games on the schedule! As usual, DraftKings will exclude the two late games, bringing their main slate down to eight games, while FanDuel will serve the full menu. The regular season officially comes to a close this Sunday, so you already know that there are going to be some late-season injury report antics. Some teams are rolling into tonight essentially at full strength while others, like the Bulls, Nets, Celtics, and Lakers, have several key starters with some sort of injury designation. So, if you’re still hanging in there with NBA DFS, make sure you’re tracking all of the latest news and starting lineups that will trickle in throughout the afternoon and evening! Best of luck!

Top DraftKings & FanDuel DFS Plays

Note: NBA position designations are never going to perfectly align between the major DFS sites. For the purposes of these newsletters, positional designations will default to DraftKings.

Point Guards/Shooting Guards to Consider 🏀

SG Anthony Edwards, MIN | DK: $9.4k, FD: $9.3k | at MIL

It’s always important to target players and games that have something at stake at this point in the season. This T-Wolves/Bucks game should be one of those environments. The T-Wolves, in particular, are intriguing because they’re currently positioned at the 7th seed in the West. I’m sure they’d much prefer to get out of the play-in tournament and into a top-six guaranteed playoff seed. Edwards had a mini-slump in late March but is back to his productive ways over the last few games. Minnesota steps in as 5.5-point road favorites, and the Bucks have allowed the 6th most FPPG to starting SGs L20Games.

PG Darius Garland, CLE | DK: $7.8k, FD: $7.5k | vs. CHI

No Donovan Mitchell (ankle/out) for the Cavs this evening, though they should still have no issues against the Bulls and remain strong 14-point favorites. Nonetheless, Garland will soak up some additional usage and has led the team with a +3.3% USG% with Mitchell off the floor this season. Admittedly, Garland has been fairly disappointing in several games that Mitchell has sat out throughout this season, but it is an excellent matchup (CHI: 5th most FPPG to PGs L20Games), and Garland has averaged 1.28 FPPM in three previous games against the Bulls this season.

PG Reece Beekman, BKN | DK: $4k, FD: $3.9k | vs. NOP

We’re squarely in the middle of the “who the hell is that guy?!” part of the season. Reece Beekman has been a fringe rotational player who has averaged only 11.6 Min/gm in 33 games this season. But he should maintain a starting role tonight due to the number of injuries that the Nets are dealing with. Beekman started against the Raptors on Sunday and provided 31.5 DKFP/33.5 FDFP across 36 minutes. He’ll draw arguably a better matchup tonight against the Pelicans and their 29th-ranked defense. These are two awful teams that are missing most of their key starters, but, in this scrubby matchup, there is a narrow two-point spread, so the guys left standing should play some strong minutes tonight.

Other Guards to Consider

PG Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, OKC vs. LAL

PG Tyrese Haliburton, IND vs. WAS

PG Ja Morant, MEM at CHA

PG/SG Dyson Daniels, ATL at ORL

PF Derrick White, BOS at NYK (Pending BOS injury news)

SG/SF Mikal Bridges, NYK vs. BOS

PG KJ Simpson, CHA vs. MEM

PG Kevin Porter Jr., MIL vs. MIN (Preferred if starting)

PG Ty Jerome, CLE vs. CHI

SG/SF Max Strus, CLE vs. CHI

PG TJ McConnell, IND vs. WAS

PG Mike Conley, MIN at MIL

PG/SG Talen Horton-Tucker, CHI at CLE (Pending CHI injury news)

SG Dariq Whitehead, BKN vs. NOP (Boost if starting)

SG/SF Dalen Terry, CHI at CLE (Pending CHI injury news)

PG Jevon Carter, CHI at CLE (Pending CHI injury news)

FanDuel Main Slate Only

PG James Harden, LAC vs. SAS (Boost if Leonard is out)

SG/SF Devin Booker, PHX vs. GSW

PG Steph Curry, GSW at PHX

SG/PG Brandin Podziemski, GSW at PHX

Small Forwards/Power Forwards to Consider 🏀

PF/C Giannis Antetokounmpo, MIL | DK: $12.6k, FD: $12.4k | vs. MIN

Giannis sat out the Bucks’ last game with a shoulder injury but is officially “probable” to play tonight. After months of going without a true ceiling game, the Greek Freak ripped off three consecutive monster games, prior to sitting out on Sunday. This includes two massive triple-doubles in his last two games, headlined by a 35/17/20 performance versus the 76ers last Thursday. Perhaps he’s ramping up his play with the postseason on his mind. This game should have a bit of a postseason feel to it, with both teams motivated to win for playoff seeding purposes.

PF Paolo Banchero, ORL | DK: $9.8k, FD: $9.8k | vs. ATL

Banchero has rocked a mammoth 39.7% USG% over his last five games, which leads all players on this slate. The Magic still have plenty at stake with four games left. They’ve clinched a Play-In spot but lead the Heat by just 2.5 games for the No. 7 seed. Their opponents tonight, the Hawks, are currently slotted in at the 8th seed, one game behind the Magic, so whoever wins this game would certainly receive some additional breathing room. Finishing 7th or 8th is key, as it only requires one win to reach the playoffs, while the 9th and 10th seeds must win twice. The Magic receive the largest pace differential today, and if Banchero continues to put up a near-40% USG%, he should remain firmly on the DFS radar.

SF Maxwell Lewis, BKN | DK: $3.5k, FD: $3.9k | vs. NOP

Time for a cheapie after spotlighting two high-end forwards. Maxwell Lewis is another no-name Nets option to keep in mind for value. He has played 27+ minutes in back-to-back games, once as a starter, and he could slide back into the starting lineup once again tonight. Lewis has averaged an unspectacular, but not awful, 0.80 FPPM over his L20Games, and these fringe NBA players always look to take advantage of these opportunities late in the season. At a sub-$4k price point with the chance to play around 30 minutes versus a terrible defensive team, Maxwell Lewis is going to make some sense.

Other Forwards to Consider

PF/C Evan Mobley, CLE vs. CHI

PF/C Julius Randle, MIN at MIL

SF/PF OG Anunoby, NYK vs. BOS

PF Matas Buzelis, CHI at CLE

SF/SG Bruce Brown, NOP at BKN

PF/C Obi Toppin, IND vs. WAS (Preferred if Siakam is out again)

SF/SG Aaron Nesmith, IND vs. WAS

SF Ziaire Williams, BKN vs. NOP

SF/PF De’Andre Hunter, CLE vs. CHI

SF/PF Keion Brooks Jr., NOP at BKN

SF/SG Antonio Reeves, NOP at BKN

PF Patrick Williams, CHI at CLE (Boost if starting)

SF/PF Jarace Walker, IND vs. WAS

PF/C Georges Niang, ATL at ORL

FanDuel Main Slate Only

SF/SG Norman Powell, LAC vs. SAS (Preferred if Leonard is out)

PF/C Draymond Green, GSW at PHX

SF/PF Harrison Barnes, SAS at LAC

Centers to Consider 🏀

C Rudy Gobert, MIN | DK: $6.6k, FD: $7.2k | at MIL

Gobert continues to crush value and put up his best fantasy score of the season on Saturday with a 60.75 DKFP/62.8 FDFP performance. He is now up to 1.32 FPPM L5Games and matches up with a Bucks team that he scored 48.0 DKFP/46.8 FDFP on a couple of months ago. His DFS prices continue to climb with this increased production but there is still plenty of meat on the bone if he maintains his current level of play.

C Yves Missi, NOP | DK: $5.3k, FD: $5.6k | at BKN

Missi is pretty much the last routine Pelicans’ starter standing at this point in the season with Dejounte Murray, Zion Williamson, CJ McCollum, and Trey Murphy III all having their seasons cut short. He has been quite productive lately, averaging 1.19 FPPM and an 11.4-point/11.2-rebound double-double over his last five games. Missi draws a strong matchup versus a Nets team that has allowed the 2nd most FPPG to starting centers L20Games.

Other Centers to Consider

C Jarrett Allen, CLE vs. CHI

C Myles Turner, IND vs. WAS (Boost if Siakam is out)

C Zach Edey, MEM at CHA

C Zach Collins, CHI at CLE (Only if Vucevic is out)

C Moussa Diabate, CHA vs. MEM

FanDuel Main Slate Only

C Ivica Zubac, LAC vs. SAS (Boost if Leonard is out)
