Monday night in the Association serves up a seven-game slate. In could be a high scoring night as five of the seven games have a Vegas total over 220 including two that top the 230 mark with the Warriors/Hawks and Clippers/Pelicans. While those games do have some intrigue and DFS appeal, it seems like there is more value to be had in other spots as you will see from my DraftKings lineup advice for the Monday slate.

Note that some of the stats referenced in this article are my custom DvP calculations that combine both season and last five games data along with blending similar positions production allowed together.

Russell Westbrook (PG – OKC): $11,200 @ DET
My one-stud decision on the Monday’s slate came down to Anthony Davis and Russell Westbrook. Davis has a lot going for him playing in the game with the highest Vegas total on the slate and coming off a game last night where he put up 36 points and 19 rebounds. However, I’m finding it more difficult to find quality guards that I want to roster than big men, so I’ll pivot to Westbrook who has been his usual consistent self lately averaging a triple-double over his last six games with 22.0 points, 12.2 rebounds and 10.8 assists. He should be in a close game on the road against the Pistons who have allowed a slight bump in points and rebounds to opposing PGs this season.
