We have a five-game slate to kick off our NBA DFS week, and we are coming down to the end of the regular season, so that means there could be some players resting. At this point in the year, plenty of teams rest players for the playoffs, or if they are eliminated, they get younger players some run. Be sure to check for confirmed lineups before roster lock.

Guards

Jamal Murray (DEN): $7,300 @ PHI
Murray has put up 38 DraftKings points or more in three straight games and is now playing in a pace up spot against Philadelphia. The Nuggets are sitting just outside the playoff picture, so they are in a spot where they absolutely need to win games. Murray has a 25% usage rate, along with averaging 0.95 fantasy points per minute, making him a solid cash game play on this slate. He has taken eight or more three-point attempts in three of his last four games, so the upside is also there for tournaments. With his ability to fill in the rest of the stat sheet, there are plenty of ways for him to reach value.

Andrew Wiggins (MIN): $6,500 vs. MEM
Wiggins is still seeing a bit of a bump in usage since Jimmy Butler remains out with an injury, so we want to take advantage of this while we can. It should be noted that this is a bit of a pace down spot for the Timberwolves since they are up against the Grizzlies, but with his usage being at 28%, he should still reach value. He has 29 or more DraftKings points in five straight games, and with Minnesota being able to move up in playoff positioning, this is is a very winnable game for them. He may go overlooked in tournaments since this is a pace down spot, so the potential for lower ownership is there.
