Guards

Spencer Dinwiddie, BKN [vs ORL] (DK: $6.2k, FD: $6.7k)

Dinwiddie has been playing significantly better while playing at home, scoring 5 fantasy points per game more than on the road. He's also got a prime matchup tonight against the Magic who are ranked 30th against starting point guards allowing 39 fantasy points a game. This game is pegged as the highest scoring game of this slate at 219 points and a very tight 1.5 point spread, making it one of the best games to target tonight.

Evan Fournier, ORL [@BKN] (DK: $5.9k, FD: $6.1k)

Fournier has been seeing high usage since returning from injury with Vucevic still off the court. As mentioned above this makes for a very good game to target players, and Fournier's salary makes him easy to fit into lineups tonight. On paper, it's not the best matchup as the Nets are ranked 19th against starting shooting guards, but he's had 2 monster games versus the Nets this season, scoring 45 and 48 fantasy points.

Josh Hart, LAL [@MIN] (DK: $4.8k, FD: $4.4k)

Kentavious Caldwell-Pope will miss another out of state game due to his legal issues and Josh Hart has been filling in nicely. It's a harder matchup against the Timberwolves but his salary is low enough that he can still easily provide value tonight. He scored 25 fantasy points against them in their meeting a week ago, with his ceiling likely being around 30 tonight.

Forwards

DeMar DeRozan, TOR [vs MIL] (DK: $7.7k, FD: $8.1k)

He's the cheapest he's been in the last month, mostly driven by 2 bad outings in which were negative matchups for him. He draws a favorable matchup tonight versus the Bucks who are ranked 20th against starting shooting guards allowing 30 fantasy points a game. DeRozan typically plays a bit better at home and is looking to rebound after a disappointing stretch. This is the 2nd highest scoring game tonight at 215.5 points and a 6 point spread in favor of the Raptors.

Kyle Kuzma, LAL [@MIN] (DK: $6.9k, FD: $6.7k)

It's a tough matchup but Kuzma did put up 49 fantasy points versus the Timberwolves a week ago. He's played well in games that the Lakers have been big underdogs and he's seeing a ton of minutes. Don't expect him to put up that many fantasy points again, but for his salary he's a fairly safe option on a Lakers team that is low on men and still has a high ceiling even in a tough matchup.

Al-Farouq Aminu, POR [@CHI] (DK: $4.5k FD: $5.2k)

There is not a ton of value available on this small slate, but Aminu is in a favorable spot tonight. The Bulls are ranked 18th against starting power forwards allowing 29 fantasy points a game. Aminu has been seeing around 30 minutes a game and has a ceiling of around 30 fantasy points, which generally isn't something to target, but on a small slate it might just be enough with the salary savings he provides.

Centers

Karl-Anthony Towns, MIN [vs LAL] (DK: $9.7k, FD: $9.6k)

It's a small slate so you're likely going to need to play Towns, Giannis, or Butler. Butler and Towns are the obvious picks based on matchups. Towns gets to face the Lakers who are ranked 29th against starting centers allowing 36 fantasy points a game. He put up 48 fantasy points in their previous matchup this season and has played well when Minnesota has been heavily favored to win.

Bismack Biyombo, ORL [@BKN] (DK: $5.6k, FD: $6.5k)

He hasn't had a disappointing game yet while starting and filling in for the injured Vucevic. He gets what might be the best matchup yet for the big man, facing the Nets who are ranked 17th versus starting centers, allowing 32 fantasy points a game. This is a great game to target, and he actually looks like one of the safer center options tonight in the best game to target.

Julius Randle, LAL [@MIN] (DK: $5k, FD: $6.2k)

This play is a bit better for DraftKings based on the salary. The Lakers rotation is all over the place right now, so it's a little difficult to predict what they're going to do with Randle here, but if he gets the start again and matches up against Towns, who is a below average defender, he can certainly have another good night. Just don't expect anything close to the double overtime box score from last night.
