Guards

Chris Paul (HOU): $8,100 vs. NO
Paul is always a fantastic option when it comes to point guards because he is so consistent and sees plenty of minutes. He has a 21.8% usage rate on the Rockets while averaging 1.30 fantasy points per minute. This game is set to be very high scoring, as it has a total set at 226 points. You are going to want some exposure to this game, and Paul is a perfect way to do so. He has 43 DraftKings points or more in two straight games and is up against the Pelicans, who are giving up 45 fantasy points per game to point guards. This is a prime spot for Paul.

Lou Williams (LAC): $7,600 vs. TOR
Williams has 42 or more DraftKings points in three straight games and is up against the Toronto Raptors who are giving up 44 fantasy points per game to shooting guards, which is third worst in the league. The Clippers have seen many players come and go from their lineup due to injuries, but with this current set of players, Williams has a 32.2% usage rate, which is highest on the team. He is also averaging 1.14 fantasy points per minute, making him a great cash game play for tonight since he is so consistent. This game has a total set at 216 points, making it one of the higher of the night.
