Guards
Victor Oladipo, IND [vs UTA] (DK: $8.3k, FD: $9.5k)
This is really a DratKings only play, because the IND/UTA game isn't in the FanDuel main slate tonight. Olad's salary is down $800 from the last game and he's the cheapest he has been since Dec 1st. The point total is quite low for this game at only 199.5 total points, which is cause for concern. It is a nice pace bump for the Pacers though, and the Jazz rank 29th against starting shooting guards. Olad has a great chance for a bounce-back here after last game where he only shot 5 for 19.
De'Aaron Fox, SAC [vs NO] (DK: $5.6k, FD: $5.8k)
The Pelicans are on the 2nd game of a back to back, and Fox hasn't played since Sunday, which means fresh legs for a youngster against tired veteran legs. Rondo and the Pelicans can't really stop anyone on the defensive side of the ball, they just outscore teams which is great for fantasy purposes. Look for Fox to bounce back from his poor outing last game, in this high scoring game with 224 total points and a 5 point spread. The Kings are at home and the Pelicans are on a back to back, which could allow the Kings to stay in this game.
Kobi Simmons, MEM [@CHI] (DK: $4.1k, FD: $3.9k)
Hopefully this Grizzly doesn't maul us like the last one. The Grizzlies are a walking infirmary right now, they barely have enough people to take the court each night, and even some of those guys are beat up. They don't have a true point guard available, other than Wayne Selden who is still under heavy minutes restriction. So Kobi Simmons gets the job pretty much by default. He played well in 26 minutes last game so there is no reason he couldn't play well against a Bulls team that is struggling to stop anyone.
Forwards
JaMychal Green, MEM [@CHI] (DK: $6.8k, FD: $6.7k)
As mentioned above, the Grizzlies are a walking infirmary and JaMychal Green is benefiting, soaking up a ton of extra usage. He's taken over 12 shot attempts in each of the last 4 games to go along with his big rebound totals. The Bulls are a mess right now while they're trying to work with new starting rotations, which should allow Green to take advantage and do more of the same as what he's been doing. The Grizzlies are on a 14 game losing streak but they're also making almost every game a close one, they might just have a chance to beat the Bulls tonight.
Kyle Kuzma, LAL [vs ORL] (DK: $6.1k, FD: $6.1k)
He's played 33 and 38 minutes in the two games he's started since Ingram went down with an injury. Kuzma has the ability to put up close to a fantasy point per minute and should be getting more comfortable in this starting role now which could give him the confidence he needs to take a couple extra shots. He's got a ceiling in the 40's and has a favorable matchup tonight against the Magic who rank 28th against starting small forwards. The game has a very high 226.5 total points as well, with a 7 point spread in favor of the Lakers.
Zach Randolph, SAC [vs NO] (DK: $5.8k, FD: $5.9k)
Tournament play only! He's a risky pick, as he could be sat any given game now. Though he's more likely to play today, since he was rested the previous game, and Willie Cauley-Stein is out with Skal Labissiere questionable to play tonight. If Skal were to miss tonight's game, Z-Bo would be in line for big minutes in what is a high scoring game with 224 total points and a close spread.
Centers
Andre Drummond, DET [vs TOR] (DK: $9.5k, FD: $10k)
Drummond is on a bit of a roller coaster lately, but has to be steaming that he was upstaged by Larry Nance last outing. Hopefully he takes that frustration out tonight against the Raptors who has has dominated this season, scoring 58 fantasy points in both games they've faced each other. The Raptors are on the 2nd game of a back to back, so the Pistons should have the edge here tonight and will be looking for a win after their disappointing loss against the Cavs.
Marc Gasol, MEM [@CHI] (DK: $8.2k, FD: $8.4k)
If I was paying up for a center, I'd probably rather go for Drummond but if you need a center that costs a little less then Gasol is also a decent option tonight. As the theme goes, the Grizzlies have limited bodies to put on the court and Gasol is one of the guys that is benefiting. He's pretty much a lock to see 35+ minutes of action against a team that is very weak against starting centers.
Emeka Okafor, NO [@SAC] (DK: $3.8k, FD: $3.8k)
Emeka draws one of the best matchups of the night against the Kings who just can't slow down opposing centers. They're ranked 27th against starting centers, allowing 37 fantasy points a game. This game has a very high point total at 224 total points, and Anthony Davis is a little beat up after suffering a rib contusion last night which could possibly limit him a bit tonight. Okafor might need to play a little extra tonight, and you can get him at a very low salary tonight.
