After two small slates, the NBA is back with a full swing on Tuesday with 10 games to choose from. The Hawks-Pacers matchup stands out as one of the best games he’s ever played. The 238.5 point total is the third-highest mark in the slate, but the Hawks are listed as the favorites with just 1.5 points.
Tyrese Halliburton Standing out as a good stud target on DraftKings, his $9,000 salary comes with a 91% bargain rating. Halliburton has been one of his highest point guards in the fantasy world this season, averaging 1.37 DraftKings points per minute. It ranks 4th at that position and the 3 players with the higher average – Luka Doncic, Ja MorantWhen Shai Gilgeous-Alexander – All at least +$1,000 higher. Halliburton has scored at least 46.5 DraftKings points in four of their last six games, and at least 52.75 DraftKings points in two of their last three games. This gives him a good combination of consistency and benefits in his current salary.

If you’re looking for a pure punt at point guard, Duane Washington In DraftKings it’s at least a viable option.there will be no sans Devin Booker, cam payneWhen cam johnson again on Tuesday, and Laundry Shamet Bystanders also participate. Shamet has been one of Booker’s main substitutes in recent games, so his absence is a huge issue.
Washington has the ability to score fantasy points quickly, averaging 1.12 DraftKings points per minute over the past month. He has scored at least his 18.0 DraftKings points in consecutive games, including his 26.25 points in just 19 minutes against the Grizzlies on Christmas.

tore jones A steady source of value for the Spurs this season, he has been positive/negative in three of his last four games. He’s averaged 0.99 FanDuel points per minute this season, and the NBA model currently predicts over 31 minutes. That should be enough to pay his $6,300 salary.
NBA DFS Shooting Guard Pick

teeth Klay Thompson Ready to break out? We don’t know that yet, but he’s a decent source of fantasy value these days.He’s scored at least his 34.75 DraftKings points in six of his last nine games, which includes his Includes 42.75 DraftKings points. He was just 8-25 out of the field in that contest and he only shot 3-12 from his three-point range, so he could have a much bigger performance if he knew how to shoot. I have.
Given the team’s injury situation, Thompson should continue to play an expanded role. Stephen Curry When Andrew Wiggins Thompson increased his utilization, rebounding and assist percentage in games without both players.
worth
cole anthony He’s starting to re-establish himself in the Orlando rotation.He’s played a limited role since returning to the lineup on November 30, but he’s coming out of the monster he showed in his last outing. He had 23 points, 10 boards and 9 assists in 30.5 minutes for 51.0 DraftKings points. In previous games he has scored 32.5 DraftKings points and over the past month he has averaged 1.1 DraftKings points per minute. This allows Anthony to set a good cap for his $5,000 price tag at DraftKings.
fast break
I’m getting a little tired of writing about cheapness Jalen Brown I’m in Fan Duel. He’s averaged +5.33 plus/minus over the last 10 games, but his salary doesn’t go down. He has averaged 1.25 FanDuel points per minute over the past month, making him the third-most projected shooting guard position in FanDuel. He is leading position in his 13 Pro His trending position and current salary is his 93% bargain rating. Add in a juicy matchup and the Rockets, and there’s not much to dislike about Tuesday’s matchup against Brown.
Malik Monk is someone who can explode every time he speaks, earning 30.0 FanDuel points on his last outing. He fetched just $4,600 at the FanDuel in Tuesday’s matchup against the Nuggets, who rank just 26th in defensive efficiency. The total for this game is his 240.5 points, so Monk can touch this game at a reasonable price.
NBA DFS Small Forward Pick

lebron james He has scored at least 30 points in seven straight games and has been completely rolling lately. With this pace, he would become his NBA all-time leading scorer in his Jabbar pace next to Kareem Abdul in his 20-25 games.
fact Anthony Davis Expect to miss a good amount of time just to secure LeBron’s workload. He posted his 41.5% utilization at Christmas and has averaged 1.48 DraftKings points per minute this season with Davis off the floor.
LeBron remains low on DraftKings at $10,600, with a 93% bargain rating, but is expected to fly under the radar in this slate. He is currently projected to own just 6% of his ownership, and LeBron has always been drawn to that number.
worth
The Thunder are more attractive than usual on Tuesday given their matchup against the Spurs. San Antonio is one of the best matchups in Fantasy this season, ranking him ninth in pace and last in defensive efficiency. The Thunder’s implied team total of 121.75 ranks him third in the slate, a significant increase from his season average of 115.4.
Le Dort He hasn’t gotten much attention in the Thunder when the team goes all out, but he’s played monster time in his last two games. , Dort is averaging 0.82 DraftKings points per minute this season. This makes him attractive enough for the price of $4,900 on DraftKings.
fast break
Eric Gordon is expected to miss the Rockets on Wednesday. in short, K.J. Martin Likely to be in the starting lineup. He has been playing well in relief for Gordon this season, averaging 24.5 DraftKings points in five contests. At $4,500 for him at DraftKings and $4,200 for him at FanDuel, you’re more than happy to get this kind of work.
Paolo Banchero After hitting a bit of a rookie wall, he’s back to providing magic with great fantasy value. , and that number would be significantly higher if they hadn’t had a big loss in their last game. His price dropped -$400 following that performance, so this is a great bargain buy opportunity.
NBA DFS Power Forward Pick

have Julius Randle Have you re-established yourself as someone worth considering on every slate? It definitely can. He’s been phenomenal with the Knicks lately, averaging a plus/minus of +8.37 over his last 10 games with the DraftKings. The only game he failed to return value during that stretch was his 38-point big win over the Warriors.
Randle is expected to play a ton of minutes in the competitive contest, leading the position in Tuesday’s slate with 38.11 minutes scheduled. This is a pretty deadly combination, as he increased his production to 1.38 DraftKings points per minute in this one month. The Mavericks aren’t ideal opponents, but Randle has proven that the current price tag isn’t accurate.
worth
Jeremy Sochan Gaining enough time with the Spurs in his rookie year, he’s starting to find his groove. He’s increased production to 0.96 DraftKings points per minute this past month, and in three of his last four games he’s scored at least 25.25 DraftKings points. He struggled in his last outing, where he scored just 17.75 DraftKings points but played 31.1 minutes. As long as he sees a workload on par with Thunder, he should be able to bounce back with a much stronger show.
fast break
impossible to trust Alexei Poksevski, he has played at least 20.1 minutes in five consecutive games. This includes his 31.6 minutes in his final contest, and if he keeps playing this much, it’s worth $4,300 at DraftKings. The result is a bargain rating of 99% for him, and few players at this price point can match Poku’s advantages.
Domantas Sabonis There are issues right now, and even if he could go, his matchup against the 76ers is less than ideal. Still, we can’t ignore what he’s done lately. He has averaged +11.09 plus/minus on his FanDuel over the last 10 games, and five games in a row has earned him at least 52.0 of his FanDuel points. He has the ability to score fantasy points in a variety of ways, and has consecutive triple-doubles.
NBA DFS Center Pick
stud
Nikola Jokic is about to become the fourth player to win three consecutive MVPs, joining Bill Russell, Wilt Chamberlain and Larry Bird. They’re inner circle Hall of Famers, and that’s the kind of company Jokic maintains at this point.
After a somewhat slow start to the year, Jokic is back to doing silly things every night. He has increased production to his 1.88 DraftKings points per minute in this past month. This is his mark at the top of the slate by a wide margin. He has scored at least 80.5 DraftKings points in 4 of his last 7 games, and has never dropped below 55.75 DraftKings points. It gives him elite floors and ceilings, making that combo hard to beat for fantasy purposes.
Jokic also won an elite matchup against the Kings on Tuesday, and the Nuggets’ implied team total ranking of 121.75 is tied for third in the slate. It makes him a very tough fade.
worth
clint capella The Hawks were ruled out, i.e. Onyeka Okonwu Tuesday’s center minutes should be your own. He’s predicted over 33 minutes in his NBA model, averaging 1.03 DraftKings points per minute for him last month. Add in a great matchup against the Pacers, and Okonwu is one of the best value he’s had on the day at just $5,500.
fast break
Deandre Ayton Had to take Booker out of the lineup to play more of a scoring role. He has at least his 30.7% utilization in two of his last three games, scoring at least 47.75 DraftKings points in both. He’s priced low at just $7,500 on his DraftKings.
Thomas Bryant It was limited to just 18.9 minutes over Christmas, but will be back up to 30+ minutes on Tuesday. He’s averaging 1.08 of his FanDuel points per minute this season, so just his $5,900 can provide excellent value for that scenario.
