Tonight we have a nice five-game slate to work with, but as you will notice, there are only three games that really interest me from a DFS perspective. Let’s get right to it…
Guards
Trae Young (ATL): $6,700 vs. LAL
Guard is not a place I will be paying up for tonight, and even Young at $6,700 might be too much to spend. However, this game will be played at a ridiculous pace as we have two of the top three fastest-paced teams in the league. Excluding Young’s last game against the Magic, he had a stretch of 17 straight games in which he had attempted at least 12 shots — and shots will be plentiful in this game. Even with that said, Young is more of a high-upside tournament play for me.
Jaylen Brown (BOS): $5,100 @ PHI
When Kyrie Irving is out of the lineup, like he is tonight, Jaylen Brown‘s usage rate goes up to 25.5 percent, the second highest on the team behind Marcus Morris (per RotoGrinders). In fact, the last three games that Kyrie has missed, Brown has averaged 33.7 DK points, which, at $5,100, would be a steal.
