FanDuel

Jalen Brunson , PG DAL ($5,100)

Dallas will be playing for the second time in as many nights, so I’m thinking they will likely lean on Brunson here to help with Luka Doncic ’s workload. Even if that weren’t the case though, Brunson is a vital piece to Dallas’ game plan and in five of his last six games he has scored between 27 and 38 FD points. He is showing scoring upside while also contributing across multiple categories and is coming off a well-rounded performance last night against the Knicks with 15 points, seven rebounds, and five assists.

Deni Avdija, SF WAS ($4,000)

It hasn’t been the smoothest of rookie seasons for Avdjia, but perhaps the forward is turning the corner? Part of it is finding consistent playing time, and that has been the case of late as the minutes have been there for Avdjia with 32, 32, and 34 in his last three games. There is still some work to be done on the offensive end as far as finding consistency since he’s scored 12, three, and 11 points respectively in his last three games. On the bright side, Avdjia has been a capable rebounder over that stretch so at the very least there is a floor and in his last two games, the rookie has taken ten shots each so opportunity shouldn’t be an issue.

Bojan Bogdanovic , SF UTA ($5,000)

We know that the Jazz are going to put up a ton of shots and that will never change from game to game. Bogdanovic will be heavily involved in this and while his workload does vary some depending on who is active, 25 to 30 minutes a game is generally a reasonable assumption for his workload. The problem is that Bogdanovic went cold and had three points in back-to-back games (on a combined 12 shots), but the good news is that he just kept shooting. He took 32 shots in his next two games and promptly came through with games of 23 and 18 points.

DraftKings

Dean Wade , PF CLE ($4,800)

The return of Kevin Love wasn’t enough to remove Wade from the starting lineup and in fact he played 38 minutes, so evidently there is nothing to see there. In fact, it was the best game we have seen from him as Wade scored 16 points while grabbing eight rebounds. We do have to note though that it was lacking in efficiency as it required Wade to take 14 shots, 11 of which were from three-point land. If Wade truly gets hot then we are dealing with real upside, but we don’t have to worry about role or playing time here and he has proven as of late that 20-to-30 DK points is a reasonable expectation.

Hamidou Diallo , SG/SF DET ($4,900)

After missing one game with a groin injury, Diallo should be back in action tonight against the Knicks. In his two prior games, Diallo scored 19 points while dishing out three assists each while grabbing ten and eight rebounds, respectively. As the likely first man off the bench for Detroit, Diallo is a good bet for 25-to-30 minutes once again, so a repeat performance is likely against a New York team that played last night.

Reggie Bullock , SG/SF NYK ($4,300)

The Knicks have lost three in a row and you can tell things are starting to catch up to them as they play for the second time in as many days. Julius Randle and RJ Barrett are both nursing injuries and it wouldn’t be surprising to see one or both of them get either the night off or reduced minutes. Derrick Rose was ice cold last night, and Bullock has been a reliable contributor for the Knicks so far this season. Last night the swingman scored 13 points which led to 19 DK points in what I would expect to be his floor. All he needed to do was convert on two more of his nine three-point attempts and the night would have looked much different.
