FanDuel
Marcus Smart , SG BOS -- $4,900
I understand he didn’t perform how we had hoped he would his last time out, but he’s still under 5K and now draws a match-up against the Wizards. Washington ranks 29th in DvP and only the Hawks are worse. The reason we’re going to Smart again is because Kemba Walker has once again been ruled out. Smart sees an increased usage of over three percent -- second highest on the team -- and averages exactly one FP/min with Walker off of the floor this season. It’s a massive pace up spot to boot and we saw a 40-plus FP ceiling out of Smart without Walker. Lock and load at this price and in this match-up.
Josh Hart , SG NO -- $4,200
Jrue Holiday has been ruled out of this game and that will lead to extended run for Hart. Hart is already a main staple in the rotation notching 24-plus minutes in nine-of-10 games. He has averaged .92 FP/min without Holiday on the floor this year, which could be an elite fantasy output if he sees 30-plus minutes in this one, which is reasonable to think. We’ve seen Hart start four games this year, so it wouldn't be a surprise to see him enter the starting five tonight. It’s a tough match-up, but we’re talking about a cheap price tag and 5X isn’t going to be too hard to obtain.
Eric Paschall , PF GSW - $3,500
The Warriors are going to be very short handed in this contest with Draymond Green , D’Angelo Russell and Kevon Looney all out, so Paschall should be thrusted in plenty of action on Monday. Paschall has played 18-plus minutes in three straight games but it wouldn’t surprise me if we saw him somewhere in the 24-28 range. Paschall has scored 20-plus DK points in back-to-back games now and in this match-up against a poor Kings defense who rank 18th in DRtg. We’ve seen him score 30 actual points on multiple occasions this year, which is the upside we’re truly rostering him for considering the Warriors need scorers with Russell out.
DraftKings
Myles Turner , C IND -- $5,500
There has only been one team we attack at the center position more than Charlotte and it’s the Bulls, but Turner gets a dream match-up against the Hornets. He went for 41 FP along with a double-double and five blocks against CHA the first time around and that was only in 25 minutes. Turner gets a 1.7-percent usage bump which is second biggest uptick on the team and averages a FP/min with Malcolm Brogdon off of the floor. Turner is priced very fairly across the industry and has as an elite match-up as it gets.
Terrence Ross , SG/SF ORL -- $4,700
We’ve seen Ross explode over the last two games for 24 and 25 actual points and it’s no coincidence that Jonathan Isaac has been out of the lineup in each game. Isaac is going to continue to miss time and Ross is going to continue to play a pivotal role for the offense. This is a huge pace up spot for Orlando as they rank 27th compared to Brooklyn ranking 10th. Ross’ has a really strong 23-percent usage rate and obviously gets a boost on DraftKings considering the three-point bonus we receive over there. He’s a strong tournament option on Monday.
J.J. Redick, SG/SF NO -- $4,400
We love Josh Hart over on FanDuel, but we like Redick on DraftKings considering we get the three-point bonus. Redick has been rollin’ offensively scoring 14-plus actual points in six-of-seven games. Redick has made two-plus three’s in nine-of-10 as well. Redick went for 40 FP and scored 20 actual points against Utah earlier in the year. His price tag is fantastic and his multi positional eligible is another huge bonus as well. Redick in GPP’s, even in cash, is a strong play.
