Top 5 DraftKings NBA DFS Picks Today

5. Chuma Okeke, Orlando Magic

Okeke is listed as a small forward and power forward at $3,000. He is projected for 23 fantasy points and is in the optimal lineup 26% of the time. Based on the absence of some other players from the Magic, it is expected that Okeke will play around 28 minutes. At the minimum price, this makes him an excellent value pick. He is expected to contribute 9.6 rebounds, two assists and a stock and a half. Matchup and other factors aside, Okeke’s low price and potential playing time make him one of the better plays available.

4. Goga Bitadze, Orlando Magic

Bitadze is a center at a price of $3,300. He is projected for 29 fantasy points and is included in the optimal lineup 23% of the time. Given the absence of several other players from the Magic, it is likely that Bitadze will start. It is uncertain how many minutes he will play, but assuming he plays 26, he looks like a fantastic option. He is projected to contribute 11.5 points, eight rebounds, two assists and two stocks.

3. Bobby Portis, Milwaukee Bucks

Portis is projected for 45 points and has a goal of 50, making him a great option for raw points. With no Jrue Holiday, Khris Middleton, Giannis Antetokounmpo, Brook Lopez, Grayson Allen or Pat Connaughton, Portis will have a huge role to fill and is projected for 31 minutes. He has a pace-up spot against Memphis, and his 1.45 points per minute are a great rate. In this game, Portis is expected to score 21 points, grab 13 rebounds, dish out two assists and get a stock. At $7,800, he is priced below the role he is expected to play, making him an excellent value pick.

2. Terence Davis, Sacramento Kings

Davis has the eligibility of both shooting guard and small forward, giving him great flexibility in lineups. With a projection of 29 fantasy points and a goal of 30, Davis is projected to be in the optimal lineup 25% of the time. If he starts and plays 30 minutes, he is the clear-cut No. 1 guy, with over a fantasy point per minute. Even with a conservative projection of 24 minutes, Davis is still at the top of the list. He is expected to score 15 points, grab four boards, two assists, and a stock and a half in those 24 minutes, which is a great value for his price of $3,900. With a favorable matchup against Golden State, it would not be surprising to see Davis end up at No. 1 at the end of the day.

1. Bol Bol, Orlando Magic

Bol is eligible at both power forward and center and is priced at $3,600. Bol is projected for 29 fantasy points and is in the optimal lineup 29% of the time. With many of the Magic’s top players out of the lineup, Bol is expected to play 28 minutes, though he could potentially play more. Bol averages 1.1 fantasy points per minute and is projected to contribute 13 points, 8.5 rebounds, an assist and two stocks. Bol’s flexibility to play both power forward and center makes him an attractive option. Along with Davis, Bol is one of the best value options currently available. If Davis is starting, he may be the preferred choice, but either way, Bol and Davis are both strong options.
