DraftKings and FanDuel Guards - NBA DFS Lineup Picks

Damian Lillard - PG, POR vs ORL ($9,500 DK, $9,100 FD)

The Blazers, losers of 4 of 5, return home to face the Magic. Returning home is good news; the Blazers have been Jekyll and Hyde this year depending on where the game is being played. When playing at home they average 10 more points, while shooting better from both 2 and 3, than compared to playing on the road.

Duane Washington Jr. - PG/SG, PHX @ GS ($4,200 DK, $4,700 FD)

The Suns are absolutely depleted in the backcourt. Washington is listed as their 4th string PG, but he will get the starting nod for the slumping Suns. In the Suns' last two games, he's played 25 minutes in each and posted fantasy scores of 27 & 31.25, so he's shown he's capable of playing at an NBA level. Washington projects to be mega chalk tonight.

Terance Mann - PG/SG, LAC vs DAL ($4,000 DK, $4,500 FD)

With Paul George ruled out (hamstring), there will be a lot of extra shot attempts to go around. Mann drew the start on Sunday in an attempt to shake up the lineup and break a losing streak. The Clippers still lost, but Mann played well; posting 34 DK points in 35 minutes of action. Even if he doesn't start again, I like Mann as my choice of the ancillary pieces around the next guy I'm about to mention.

Others to consider: Luka Doncic ($12,600 DK, $12,400 FD), Victor Oladipo (if Tyler Herro sits) ($5,300 DK, $5,700 FD)

DraftKings and FanDuel Forwards - NBA DFS Lineup Picks

Kawhi Leonard - SF/PF, LAC vs DAL ($8,700 DK, $8,400 FD)

Coming off a duel with Trae Young two nights ago, Kawhi will be tasked with trying to keep up with Luka Doncic on Tuesday. With Paul George out, the Clippers will be looking for a vintage performance from Leonard as they look to break a 6 game losing streak. Kawhi was priced as if George was questionable, not out, so this mispricing sticks out like a sore thumb.

Isaiah Stewart - PF/C, DET @ PHI  ($5,100 DK, $5,600 FD)

Stewart has 0 competition for minutes currently with both Marvin Bagley and Jalen Duren ruled out for this game. The Pistons just played in Philadelphia two days ago, and Stewart put up 40.75 DK points in 35 minutes. I can only assume Stewart will be widely owned, but as a flexible piece that projects well, he might be a necessary play tonight.

Kenrich Williams - SF/PF, OKC @ MIA ($3,900 DK, $4,700 FD)

Williams has quietly been putting up solid all-around numbers for a couple of weeks now and earned himself a start against the Mavericks on Sunday. Williams has 23+ DK points in 4 of his last 5 games, and although the Heat are typically stout defensively, they currently have 6 regular rotation players that are already ruled out or ruled questionable.

Others to consider: Jimmy Butler ($8,900 DK, $9,000 FD), Marcus Morris ($4,900 DK, $5,100 FD)

DraftKings and FanDuel Centers - NBA DFS Lineup Picks

Pascal Siakam - C, TOR vs CHA ($10,100 DK, $9,500 FD)

This one feels like a no-brainer. At this point, the Hornets are essentially a big man funnel. They rank near the bottom in essentially every single defensive category involving centers, so this is a dream matchup for Siakam and the Raptors. The Raptors have 12 of their 17 wins at home and play much better there compared to their road splits.

Walker Kessler - C, UTA vs CLE  ($4,700 DK, $5,500 FD)

With Kelly Olynyk slated to miss extended time, Kessler made a strong case for earning his minutes off the bench. In only 23 minutes he posted 10 points, 11 rebounds, and 6 blocks for a healthy 38.25 DK points. If Kessler starts to see more minutes, he could become a double-double machine.

Others to consider: Jarrett Allen ($6,200 DK, $7,500 FD)
