DraftKings
Miles Bridges , SF/PF CHA ($5,100)
Charlotte is missing a lot of guys that would compete with Bridges for minutes and the icing on the cake was Gordon Hayward being ruled out. Bridges should slide into the starting lineup in his stead with P.J. Washington also doubtful to play. Bridges has notched four straight double-doubles, playing 27+ minutes in all four. Bridges has flashed 35 FP upside recently and that would crush his current 5.1K evaluation.
Grayson Allen , SG/SF MEM ($4,300)
With Bane and Melton ruled out again, Allen is firmly in play once again. He played a season-high 25 minutes last time out and poured in 23 actual points, hitting six three’s. He’s now played 30+ minutes and has put up 29+ DKP in each of the last two games and has an elite match-up against the Kings who rank dead last in DRtg across the entire association. He’s in play in all formats.
Anfernee Simons , PG/SG POR ($3,800)
Simons minutes had been sitting in the low 20’s of late, but he saw 30 minutes against CLE last time out and we’ve actually seen that on multiple occasions over the previous month. Simons is on the floor to score when he checks in as he’s poured in double-figures in five straight and 8-of-10 overall. It’s hard to ignore the price tag against a Dallas defense ranking 29th in DRtg since the start of the month.
FanDuel
Jakob Poeltl , C SA ($5,800)
Doesn’t it feel like Poeltl is just too cheap here? The only time he seemingly hasn’t produced lately is in back-to-backs and we don’t have one here, nor does he play on Monday. Poeltl had 46 FP last time out and has now topped 38 FDP in 3-of-5 games overall. Charlotte ranks 26th against centers and Poeltl has a massive advantage here. He’s viable in all formats across all sites, don’t limit your exposure to just FanDuel.
Saddiq Bey, SF DET ($4,500)
This is strictly a tournament play, but Bey is coming off an insane outing going 10-12 from the floor while knocking down all seven of his three’s for 30 actual points. Bey has now topped 25+ minutes in 3-of-5 and has scored in double-figures in 4-of-5. He’s making it harder and harder for Detroit to take him off the floor and considering New Orleans ranks 27th in DRtg, Bey could have another really strong outing here.
Dorian Finney-Smith , SF DAL ($4,300)
This isn’t someone we’re going to get a lot of upside out of, but Finney-Smith does a little bit of everything and is in play on this slate. He’s put up 23+ FDP in three straight and has topped 30+ minutes in four straight as well. We love this match-up for Dallas as Portland ranks 28th in defensive rating as a team. He profiles more in cash games as we like the floor, despite the low usage rate.
