Friday, March 13
POINT GUARD
Russell Westbrook – $12,500 – Don’t let one bad game force you off the train. Westbrook has been nothing short of a fantasy MVP for the last month, and he should get right back on track this evening against the Wolves. He is averaging 67.20 DraftKings points per game over his last ten games. That’s a large enough sample size with that kind of production to realize that you almost can’t fade that in your cash games. Fire him up and find value at other spots in your lineup tonight.
Aaron Brooks – $5,400 – The Bulls have finally realized that Brooks needs to be manning the point for the majority of the time with both Derrick Rose and Jimmy Butler out. He is the only true facilitator that they have right now, and they need him on the floor despite his defensive shortcomings. His price is still very affordable at $5,400, so give him a look as a mid-range value play that should get 32-36 minutes this evening.
SHOOTING GUARD
Victor Oladipo – $8,100 – Orlando will be paper thin on the perimeter again tonight, with Evan Fournier, Willie Green, and Devyn Marble all likely out again. This will force Oladipo into 40+ minutes of action, and he will handle the ball and run the point on occasion. He has been magnificent so far in 2015, and his price does reflect that production. However, I think he is still a good buy given the extensive volume of minutes he will play if this game stays competitive.
Ben McLemore – $4,200 – I hate to do this, but I must admit that Ben McLemore is a very intriguing option tonight. Some value is required in order to fit King Westbrook into a lineup, and McLemore makes a lot of sense. He’s playing significant minutes under George Karl, and he has been shooting it well of late, too. He was 10-for-16 from the floor in the last game and gets to face the Sixers tonight. Expect him to be a popular value option.
