DraftKings and FanDuel NBA Slam Dunks, Sunday 2/25

Today’s main slate, like most 2 gamers, is devoid of any standout value.  But that’s ok.  In these situations, I like to focus a little more on the ownership game.  Below are a couple guys that may go overlooked but have the potential to be in the winning lineup.

Nikola Jokic (10300 DK only):  This slate has a surprising number of big name stars in the 8,000+ salary range–including Harden, Embiid, Simmons, Paul, and a Wall-less Bradley Beal)–so there’s a good chance that Jokic gets overlooked.  But if you’ve been watching his play recently, including recording the fastest triple-double in NBA history, you know he has tremendous upside on this high-octane Denver offense.  I expect he’ll be 15-20% owned but he should really much higher than that.

Joel Embiid (10500 FD only):  While the masses will likely be picking Embiid over Jokic on DraftKings, the reverse is true on FanDuel.  Embiid in $700 cheaper on DraftKings but $800 more on FanDuel.  While I’d normally go for the salary relief on a larger slate, 2 game slates often have one must-play superstar that will be necessary to win any GPP.  Embiid could be that guy and is a risk, but one worth taking.

Good luck!
