DraftKings DFS Guards
Victor Oladipo - PG/SG, vs. CHA ($9,300)
Oladipo is a great guy to build your roster around on Monday night. He plays heavy minutes and is productive while he is out there, sporting a usage rate of 30.3 percent this season. With the inefficient play of the Hornets this season, combined with a projected high-scoring total, Oladipo will likely have a solid fantasy showing. Get him in your lineup.
Dennis Schroder - PG, vs. MIN ($7,200)
Schroder has slowed down a bit as of late, combining for a miserable 8-for-26 from the field in addition shooting only 1-for-8 from downtown over the past two contests. However, we can blame his poor production partically on a lack of minutes considering that the Hawks have been getting spanked as of late, prompting coach Budenholzer to keep some of his key players off the floor. He has a chance to turn things around against Minnesota, especially if Jeff Teague is unable to suit up because of an ankle issue.
Other DraftKings DFS Guards to Consider: Kemba Walker ($8,000), Eric Bledsoe ($6,900), Jeff Teague ($6,100), Tyus Jones ($3,600 - If Jeff Teague is out)
DraftKings DFS Forwards
Giannis Antetokounmpo - SF/PF - vs. PHI ($11,000)
Apparently, his knee is ok and missing a few games has obviously done him well because he has been playing fantastic since his return. He acquired 78.25 fantasy points against Brooklyn a few nights ago and put up 52.75 against the Bulls on Sunday afternoon. Worried about him playing a back-to-back? Don't be as he is actually averaging 30 points per game when he doesn't have a day off.
Dario Saric - PF/C - @ MIL ($6,800)
After starting off the season a little shaky, Saric is playing like he was last season when he should have won Rookie of the Year. He has been crushing it from behind the arc as of late, averaging 56 percent from downtown over the past five games. He has a nice matchup, at least on paper, and is generously priced considering what his output could be. He is more desirable especially if J.J Redick misses this one as a result of a leg injury that he has been plagued with as of late.
Other DraftKings DFS Forwards to Consider: Robert Covington ($5,900), Thaddeus Young ($5,700), Bojan Bogdanovic ($4,300), Michael Kidd-Gilchrist ($4,200), Marvin Williams ($4,200)
DraftKings DFS Centers
UPDATE: Embiid has been ruled out for tonight's game against the Bucks.
Joel Embiid - C, @ MIL ($9,800)
Embiid is as consistent as they come. When he's healthy, he plays heavy minutes and is very, very productive. At 23.9 points, 10.9 boards and nearly two blocks per contest, he is a virtual lock to get you some points. With Milwaukee struggling to defend opposing big men this season, he should be your guy in the middle on Monday night.
Other DraftKings DFS Centers to Consider: Karl-Anthony Towns ($9,600)
