Update (6:41 PM) - Made some adjustments to the lineup. Decided to switch out Napier/Mills for Robinson/White. Robinson has confirmed that he will be playing for the Wizards and is getting the start. Robinson saw 36 minutes in his last game and should see 30+ tonight with Ish Smith out. With the value we save on Robinson, I feel more comfortable going with Derrick White of the Spurs who is the confirmed starter tonight in a decent match-up agianst the Mavericks. Good Luck!
Hi Everyone!
Happy Tuesday!
Let’s take a look at today’s DraftKings NBA “Main Slate” lineup that features 9 games and starts at 7:00pm!
DON’T FORGET TO CHECK OUT OUR NBA FANDUEL “MAIN SLATE” LINEUP FOR TODAY!!!
For our lineup tonight, we’re going to start off looking at the Cleveland Cavaliers vs. the Chicago Bulls.
Cleveland will be without Tristan Thompson tonight due to an eye injury which opens that door for Andre Drummond to feast on the weak interior defense of the Chicago Bulls. Drummond came back from a 3-game absence this past Sunday agianst the Spurs and put up a monster double-double with 28 points, 17 rebounds, 1 assist, & 3 blocks.
We’re also going to go with Cleveland’s Collin Sexton who is averaging 28.5 ppg in 39.5 minutes per game over his last six games and should once again, should easily be able to hit value at a reasonable price of just $7,000.
For the Bulls, there is a ton of usage available with Zach LaVine currently out and we’re going to roll with a backcourt duo of Shaquille Harrison & Coby White who combined for 77.3 FanDuel points in their recent match-up against Brooklyn.
I like the over in the NY/WAS game tonight and we’re going to pay up for the Knicks Julius Randle while getting some nice value with the Wizards Shabazz Napier.
Randle has been a double-double machine this season and that has certainly been the case as of late, putting up double-doubles in 5 of his last 6 games. The match-up agianst the Wizards is outstanding and I think he a safe floor of 40 points tonight with 60+ point upside.
Napier played 40 minutes in the Wizards last game, putting up a monster 51.5-point performance, and with Ish Smith already ruled out and Jerome Robinson questionable, I think he some great upside in what I think will be a high-scoring affair tonight.
We’re going to be paying up for the Rockets Robert Covington in their home match-up agianst the Timberwolves.
I’m a bit worried of the blowout risk, however, I see a huge revenge game by Covington against his former team who I don’t believe he has much respect for.
Rounding out the team, I’m going to get some extreme value with Patty Mills of the San Antonio Spurs who should see around 20-25 minutes with Dejounte Murray unavailable.
