Guards

Kemba Walker, CHA [vs ORL] (DK: $7.5k, FD: $7.8k)

Walker is probable to play Monday and was a full participant in Sundays practice. He reportedly has no minutes limitation and makes for a very nice play tonight at a bit of a discount after missing 2 games. The Magic are ranked 27th against starting point guards allowing 37 fantasy points a game and the last time they played in October, Kemba put up 64 fantasy points which wasn't even against Elfrid Payton who is near bottom of the league in defensive rating.

Rajon Rondo, NO [vs GS] (DK: $5k, FD: $5.7k)

Without Anthony Davis in the lineup, Rondo gets to be more like a true point guard which means more assists. This is a tougher matchup, so it's unlikely he's going to hit that 40 fantasy point mark for the 3rd game in a row but mid 30s is definitely doable. His salary hasn't caught up to what it should be without Davis yet, and we do not know yet how long the Pelicans will be without Davis, so take advantage of the low salary while you can.

David Nwaba, CHI [vs CLE] (DK: $3.8k, FD: $4.2k)

The Cavs are 9 point favorites over Chicago, and this game could easily turn into a blowout early. David Nwaba suffered a severe ankle sprain earlier in the season but saw 22 minutes of action in his first game back. The Bulls could be looking to get him going, and if this game turns into a blowout early, he could possibly be looking at around 30 minutes tonight. He's been a stat machine from limited minutes this season and could make for an interesting flier tonight.

Forwards

LaMarcus Aldridge, SA [vs DET] (DK: $8.3k, FD: $8.4k)

Coming into this game with 3 days of rest now after sitting out the last game for rest. His legs should be fully back after the let down against the Grizzlies on Friday. He draws another favorable matchup against the Pistons who are ranked 29th against starting power forwards giving up 35 fantasy points a game. Kawhi Leonard will be returning soon, so these will be some of the last games with Aldridge at this usage level and high salary.

Jonathon Simmons, ORL [@CHA] (DK: $5k, FD: $5.6k)

With Terrence Ross out for the foreseeable future, Simmons is getting all the minutes he can handle. He draws the best matchup he's seen since taking over the starting job 5 games ago. The Hornets are ranked 30th against starting small forwards allowing 33 fantasy points a game. Simmons put up 46 fantasy points when they last faced off in October as a backup. As long as he continues to see these minutes and usage, his salary is sure to raise even higher.

Michael Beasley, NYK (DK: $3.5k FD: $5k)

The Knicks are without their 2 best players tonight and possibly longer. Michael Beasley has done a great job filling in for Porzingis when needed so far this season, and has another great matchup tonight against the Pacers who are ranked 27th against starting power forwards. He's nearly a must play at this salary on DraftKings. Look at the other side of the ball here as well with Thaddeus Young, as Beasley is near bottom of the league in defensive rating.

Centers

Joel Embiid, PHI [vs PHO] (DK: $9.8k, FD: $10.4k)

Embiid has played 1 game in the last 6 days, so he should be very well rested heading into this contest. This is slated as the 2nd highest scoring game of the night with a 227 point over under, but with a blowout risk with the 76ers being favored by 10.5 points. The Suns have done a good job keeping games close till late in the game, so Embiid should still see plenty of action regardless tonight against the 22nd ranked defense against starting centers.

Enes Kanter, NY [@IND] (DK: $6.2k, FD: $6.6k)

It's hard not to like Kanter tonight, the Knicks are without Hardaway and Porzingis, leaving Kanter with the majority of usage on the team. He also draws a primo matchup against the Pacers who are ranked 30th against starting centers allowing 39 fantasy points a game. Kanter could be the highest owned player tonight and has been having back problems recently. So he also makes for a great fade candidate, if he tweaks his back or they get blown out early.

Miles Plumlee, ATL [vs BKN] (DK: $3.4k, FD: $3.7k)

The Hawks are without John Collins, Dewayne Dedmon and Mike Muscala, leaving Plumlee as the last center standing on the team. They just played the Nets on Saturday and get to face them at home tonight. There is a good chance he exceeds the 19 minutes he saw in the first game now that he's getting up to speed with the role. The Nets are ranked 29th against starting centers giving up 36 fantasy points a game. This is also the highest scoring game at 220.5 that doesn't have blowout potential with a spread of only 1.5 points.
