We are focusing on the 7pm games tonight. A lot of stacking in my line up between the Kings and Celtics. Here is who I drafted for tonight and why I think this line up will make me money.
PG: Donovan Mitchell, Jazz vs. Bulls $6,500: The Jazz are battling injuries in their back court with both Ricky Rubio and Dante Exum out. Mitchell is playing close to 40 minutes per game and getting quality looks offensively.
SG: Bogdan Bogdanovic, Kings vs. Hornets, $5,900: Bogo can shoot the lights out and he will favorable one on one match ups against the Hornets smaller guards.
SF: Gordon Hayward, Celtics at Magic, $5,500: Hayward has been obnoxiously inconsistent this season but despite that, he has been a good DFS play against certain teams that struggle to match up defensively. The Magic have size in the paint but their forwards struggle to defend the perimeter.
PF: Lauri Markkanen, Bulls at Kings, $6,000: A stretch four against Sacto bigs is a nice DFS match up. Especially when that stretch four can shoot like Markkanen.
C: Al Horford, Celtics at Magic, $5,600: Big Al has been productive since he’s been back. I am stacking him tonight with Hayward in a favorable offensive match up against the Magic.
G: Derrick Rose vs. Pelicans, $6,100: Rose is back from an ankle injury that kept him sidelined for a week. He scored 20 points off the bench in his return against the Mavericks. A volume scorer who plays big minutes, Rose is a worthy play in DFS most nights.
F: Buddy Hield, Kings vs. Bulls, $6,500: Hield has been a big time producer in DFS all season long and with a favorable match up against the defensively challenged Bulls, expect another 20 point night from the versatile scorer.
UTIL: Jayson Tatum, Celtics at Magic, $5,900: The Celtics stack continues with Tatum. The points have not been there consistently for Tatum but again, like Gordon Hayward. When the match up is right, Tatum produces. The match up is right tonight against a porous Orlando defense.
