The NBA DFS Pick 5!

Point Guard: De’Aaron Fox $7,500 FanDuel $8,000 DraftKings 

De’Aaron Fox is averaging 1.24 fantasy points per minute with a 29.5 usage percentage and 34.2 assist rate so far this season. He has been reliable all season with a 68% consistency rating, posting in 31.7 minutes per, 20.1 points, 4.0 rebounds, 6.9 assist and two combined steal/block good for 37.9 fantasy points per game on average. The Sacramento Kings will host the Washington Wizards, who rank dead last in the NBA in points allowed and defensive rating, so the ceiling potential is there for Fox as he grades out as a great play. 

*Honorable Mention NBA DFS Pick: Lonzo Ball $7,400 FanDuel $7,300 DraftKings 

**Honorable Mention: Shake Milton $5,700 FanDuel $6,300 DraftKings

***Honorable Mention: Reggie Jackson $4,300 FanDuel $4,500 DraftKings

Shooting Guard: Bradley Beal $10,300 FanDuel $10,400 DraftKings 

Bradley Beal is on pure fire right now, averaging 1.47 fantasy points per minute with a 38.3 usage percentage and 26.9 assist rate good for 46.1 fantasy points per game over the last month. He is unstoppable and is posting in 35.8 minutes per, 30.4 points, 4.3 rebounds, 6.1 assist and two combined steal/block per game. Beal is shooting 45.8% from the field on 22.7 attempts and 34.4% from 3 on 8.3 attempts. Beal is the top play for me on the entire slate regardless of position.

**Honorable Mention: Norman Powell $4,900 FanDuel $5,700 DraftKings

***Honorable Mention: DeMar DeRozan $8,000 FanDuel $7,400 DraftKings

Small Forward: Tobias Harris $7,300 FanDuel $8,200 DraftKings 

Tobias Harris is averaging in 278 minutes without Joel Embiid and Ben Simmons off the court 1.16 fantasy points per minute with a 25.6 usage percentage and 16.1 assist rate. He will be the focal point of this Philadelphia offense as they take on the Los Angeles Lakers at Staples Center. For the season, Harris is posting in 34.6 minutes per, 19.2 points, 6.7 rebounds, 3.1 assist and two combined steal/block good for 34.5 fantasy points per game average.

**Honorable Mention: LeBron James $10,500 FanDuel $11,400 DraftKings

***Honorable Mention: OG Anunoby $5,700 FanDuel $6,500 DraftKings

Power Forward: Jayson Tatum $9,400 FanDuel $9,600 DraftKings 

Jayson Tatum has averaged 1.22 fantasy points per minute with a 32.5 usage percentage and 15.4 assist rate so far this year. Tatum has been rolling recently just crushing value and should be considered a core play. He is posting in 34.5 minutes per, 23.5 points, 7.1 rebounds, 2.9 assist and getting you two combined steal/block per game. Shooting 45.0% from the field, Tatum looks more and more like a lock the more I dig in. For his price-point and massive ceiling, Tatum is producing 40.9 fantasy points per game on average and gets a Brooklyn Nets team in a paced-up matchup at home in Boston. 

*UPDATE Jayson Tatum is Questionable} *PIVOT to Kawhi Leonard if out. 

*Honorable Mention NBA DFS Pick: Trey Lyles $5,400 FanDuel $5,200 DraftKings

Also, Harrell is shooting 58% from the field on 13.1 attempts while roaming the front court. In a game that should be very competitive, Harrell looks like a steal for his price-point.
