D’Angelo Russell
FD: $7200 | Fpts: B | Value: A
DK: $6700 | Fpts: B | Value: A
D’Angelo Russell makes an appearance as a Slam Dunk, as the Nets will be without Spencer Dinwiddie and DeMarre Carroll, which should open up some additional minutes against the Celtics B team. Since the Nets aren’t tanking for anything, Russell’s playing is likely to be steadier than most, which is key on a night like tonight.
Russell Westbrook
FD: $12300 | Fpts: A | Value: C
DK: $11900 | Fpts: A | Value: C
Westbrook needs 16 rebounds tonight to average a triple double for the season. Considering Russ regularly goes hunting for stats, there’s a realistic scenario he makes a push for that mark for the second year in a row. To get there, he’ll need to play a decent chunk of the game, which is music to the ears of his potential owners.
Luke Kennard
FD: $6100 | Fpts: C | Value: C
DK: $4300 | Fpts: C | Value: A
Eric Moreland
FD: $6700 | Fpts: C | Value: C
DK: $4300 | Fpts: C | Value: A
The people on DraftKings get a double doze of Pistons tonight, as Kennard and Moreland both have crazy low prices. This is a great match-up, as the Bulls have been putrid on defense for months now. Kennard and Moreland should get all of the minutes they can handle, which is a steal at their $4300 price point.
