DraftKings Guards - NBA DFS Lineup Picks
Tyler Kolek, PG – NYK ($7.6K)
Tyler Kolek has put himself on the map for the New York Knicks so far this Summer League. Kolek is coming off of a huge game against the Sacramento Kings where he recorded 41.5 DK points. He recorded 21 points, eight assists, and four rebounds with two steals in 32 minutes. He's averaging 11.3 points, 7.3 assists, and 4.3 rebounds per game through three games while averaging 30.4 DK points.

DJ Steward, PG/SG - CHI ($6.4K)
DJ Steward is coming in at a nice price while averaging 32.8 DK points during the Summer League. Steward has yet to score below 30 fantasy points and has only played above 30 minutes once. He has flirted with a double-double once in Game 2 versus the Golden State Warriors where he recorded 15 points and nine assists. He brings a great ceiling and only costs $6.4k.
Trey Alexander, PG/SG - DEN ($6K)
Trey Alexander is an interesting pick and could carry some low ownership on this four-game slate. His minutes have increased to 30 minutes or more in the past three games while recording 32,5 and 36 DK points in two of them. He's averaging 16.8 points, 5.5 rebounds, and 2.8 assists per game while averaging 30.4 points per game. A positive note to add for the Denver guard is that he has been reaching the free-throw line multiple times a game which can give him an easy route to scoring.
Also Consider: Jordan Hall ($5.3K), Jazian Gortman ($4.6K), Hunter Maldonado ($5.4K)
DraftKings Forwards/Centers - NBA DFS Lineup Picks
Hunter Tyson, PF - DEN ($7.7K)
The Denver Nuggets announced that they've shut down Julian Strawther for the rest of the Summer League (non-injury reasoning). This gives Hunter Tyson a boost and he's not overly priced. Tyson is coming off a strong game against Indiana where he recorded 23 points, three rebounds, and one assist in 33 minutes. He hasn't filled up the stat sheet to put him over the top for lineups but he is getting the job done. He's averaging 15.8 points, 3.8 rebounds, and one assist per game through four games.
Dmytro Skapintsev, C - NYK ($4.9K)
Dmytro Skapintsev isn't the first option at center for the New York Knicks but he has been dominating in the short amount of minutes that he has played. Skapintsev is averaging 18 minutes per game while averaging 13 points and seven rebounds, almost nearing a double-double. He'll help save salary in lineups but has proven that his ceiling is reachable and with very few minutes needing to be played.
Dmytro Skapintsev this #nba summer league:
4 games
14 PPG
72% FG

Emanuel Miller, SF/PF - DAL ($6.6K)
Emanuel Miller has had a rough start to the Summer League but has put together two good showings back-to-back. He recorded 31.5 DK points versus Memphis and followed that performance up with 29 DK points against Miami. While his offensive performances are slowly getting better, he has also dominated on the defensive side. He recorded four steals in the past two games after recording just one versus Utah to kick the summer off. His price tag is reasonable and if playing multiple lineups, you should have some exposure to him.
Also Consider: Julian Phillips ($5.5K), PJ Hall ($5.8K), Miles Norris ($4,6K)
