DFS Guards to Consider

Ben Simmons - PG/SF, vs. PHO ($9,800)

With Ben Simmons likely playing at the one, we will go ahead and list him here. Phoenix is giving up 68.5 fantasy points per game to opposing point guards this season, good for worst in the league. The rookie is coming off of one of his most horrendous scoring performances of the season, scoring only five points against Sacramento. Don't expect that to happen twice consecutively as he will likely be extra-motivated heading into this one.

Dennis Schroder - PG, vs. BKN ($8,000)

Dennis Schroder played well against the Nets on Saturday, scoring 38.8 fantasy points. With this contest likely to be a fast-paced, high-scoring affair, Schroder should have a repeat performance against one of the worst defensive teams in the league.

Spencer Dinwiddie - PG/SG, @ ATL ($7,000)

Both teams met on Saturday and will meet again on Monday, but this time it will be in Atlanta. Spencer Dinwiddie played well against the Hawks over the weekend, scoring 15 points and dishing out nine assists. He also drained three from behind the arc, which is always a good thing under the DraftKings scoring system. His fantasy output shouldn't be too much different by the time the night is through.

Other DFS Guards to Consider: Stephen Curry, Kemba Walker, Victor Oladipo, Jamal Murray, J.J. Redick, Devin Booker, Nicolas Batum

 

DFS Forwards to Consider

LeBron James - SF/PF, @ CHI ($11,800)

If you can swing the hefty price tag that it would take to include LeBron James in your lineup, it is will well worth it. He has hit at least 50 fantasy points in each of the Cavs' last six outings. He is averaging 28 points on 56 percent from the field this season and does not appear to be slowing down anytime soon. Figure out how to get him in your lineup on Monday.

Tyreke Evans - SG/SF, vs. MIN ($7,300)

Tyreke Evans has really turned it on for a team that is in desperate need of offensive production outside of Marc Gasol. Evans put up 63.3 fantasy points against Cleveland on Saturday and should continue to see plenty of minutes off of the bench, unless he starts at point guard which could also very well happen. Though the matchup isn't the most favorable one, somebody has to score points in Memphis and he is the guy to do it.

Other DFS Forwards to Consider: Kevin Durant, Jonathon Simmons, Taurean Prince, DeMarre Carroll, Khris Middleton, Giannis Antetokounmpo

 

DFS Centers to Consider

Mason Plumlee - C, @ DAL ($4,300)

If you are looking to have guys like LeBron James or DeMarcus Cousins in your lineup, you are going to have to cut corners somewhere and this is where Mason Plumlee comes into play. With Dallas being the second-worst fantasy team against opposing centers and with Nikola Jokic already ruled out with an ankle injury, Plumlee is going to get some action. It's not guaranteed that he will start, especially if Wilson Chandler plays, but for the price, you could find yourself easily hitting the five times value mark.

Other DFS Centers to Consider: Dwight Howard, Karl-Anthony Towns
