Miles was acquired in the offseason by the Raptors to provide a three-point option off the bench, and he has done just that so far this season. Toronto Raptors: ($3,900) – A very important part of playing in GPPs is finding viable pivots off of chalk plays on a slate, and tonight Miles is my pivot off of Jakob Poeltl who should be a chalky option against the Warriors. This an excellent spot for KCP to pay off his salary and he makes for a great value play tonight.Ĭ.J. The Wizards have struggled on defense this season, allowing opponents to score 110 points per game while allowing them to shoot 47.9 percent from the floor and 40.7 percent from beyond-the-arc. After an outstanding season debut where Caldwell-Pope notched 20 points on 7-of-11 shooting to go along with two boards, two steals, an assist, and a block in 31 minutes, DraftKings decided to raise his price only $300 in an excellent matchup against Washington. Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, SG, Los Angeles Lakers: ($4,700) – I wanted to make KCP my “Laker of the Day” but I felt the spot for Lopez was just too great to pass up so I am going to stick KCP here in the value plays section for tonight’s slate. This is a game you will want to get exposure to and Capela is one of the best ways to do that. There is a little bit of risk associated with Capela, as Embiid has been known to get opposing big men in foul trouble from time to time, but Capela is worth that risk tonight. Capela averaged 32 DraftKings points in 23 minutes last season and with Ariza already ruled out and Nene doubtful for this game, we should see Capela’s minutes increase over the 25-28 we usually see him play. The Sixers are allowing 58.55 fantasy points to centers on the season, and the majority of those fantasy points are coming from rebounds as they are allowing 17.5 per game to centers. The Rockets are in a fast-paced matchup against the Sixers and this is the perfect matchup for Capela to have a great game at a cheap price.Īfter a modest effort in a game against the Grizzlies, Capela finds himself in a bounce-back spot against the Sixers who have struggled against opposing centers this season, contrary to what Joel Embiid might say. George has stated how motivated he is to win this game against his former team, meaning I am motivated to get him into my lineups.Ĭlint Capela, C, Houston Rockets: ($6,200) – Using two centers on DraftKings is one of my favorite strategies, for cash games and GPPs, and I will be doing that tonight with Capela as one and Brook Lopez (featured below) as the other. George has bolstered his fantasy production by pulling in 5.7 boards per game to go along with 3.7 assists and four or more steals in two of the first three games. George hasn’t shot the ball very well this season, as he is only hitting 37.1 percent of his shots, but considering the Pacers are allowing opponents to shoot 49.3 percent from the floor, I think those shots will fall tonight. ![]() PG has the third-highest usage on the Thunder at 27.9 percent and is attempting 20.7 shots per game. The Pacers are allowing the fourth-most fantasy points to small forwards, 45.39, and the seventh most points to opposing power forwards, 51.23, on the year which are impressive numbers considering the teams they have faced, with exception to Minnesota, don’t have dominant wing players that can score like George. ![]() ![]() Not only will Paul George be facing off against his old team, which presents us with a revenge narrative, but he will also be facing off against a team that has been a punching bag for opposing wings so far, this season. Paul George, SF, Oklahoma City Thunder: ($8,000) – The shorthanded Indiana Pacers head to Oklahoma City to take on the Thunder and we are presented with one of my favorite spots to attack tonight. Durant has produced over 50 fantasy points twice in four games and has only failed to reach 5x his current salary once this season, making him a safe cash game play, and I think he has enough upside to consider in GPPs at only $9,500. Durant has been shooting the lights out so far, this season, hitting 50 percent of his shots from beyond-the-arc, and 50 percent from the floor. Both of those numbers are important, as it is safe to assume that when the Warriors are allowing a lot of points the starters will be on the court for big minutes.ĭurant has averaged 37.1 minutes per game to start the season, and he has averaged 24 points, 8.5 rebounds, 4.5 assists, and an impressive 3.8 blocks per game. Kevin Durant, SF/PF, Golden State Warriors: ($9,500) – The Golden State Warriors have had their struggles on defense to start the season, allowing 114 points per game to opponents, but more impressively, the Warriors are averaging 115.9 points per game on offense.
