Happy Friday all! We’ve again made it through another week, and what better way to celebrate than to play some NBA DFS! I hope everyone had a chance to watch some of the Sixers-Lakers game last night; the fourth quarter was one of the more entertaining basketball quarters I’ve seen so far this year. Julius Randle and Joel Embiid went at it, HARD, and there was a series of possessions where words and stone cold stares were exchanged every time down court. Brandon Ingram hit the game-winning shot on a sweet kick-out by Lonzo Ball, and I’m really starting to think that Ingram is going to develop into a star. My favorite thing about Ingram is that whether he’s shooting 3-for-15 or hitting the game-winning shot, his facial expression and body language does not change.

Alright, let’s take a look at today’s interesting eight-game slate which features star and value options at every position and leads to a lot of unique possibilities for lineup construction. As always, be sure to check late injury news and adjust your lineups accordingly.

Guards

Gary Harris (DEN): $6,400 @ ORL

Harris sees the most consistent minutes of anyone on Denver, and he’s become a favorite cash play of mine. He is priced up a bit here tonight, but he’s averaged 37 minutes and 34 DK points over his last five games. He should be in line for numbers similar to those again tonight. He’s a plus defender who consistently adds peripheral stats to his box score, and that, combined with the 35+ minutes, is exactly what we’re looking for in cash lineups. Harris can shoot poorly, and still get to 30 DK points without a problem. If you need a solid, mid-priced guard, Harris is your guy tonight.
