Guards
Russell Westbrook (OKC) $11,400 vs. ORL
It’s a bit of a cop-out to take Westbrook as my top play at the guard position, but I’d be lying if I tried to convince you otherwise. Even with Vegas predicting a blowout victory for the Thunder, who are currently 10-point favorites, Westbrook has the best chance to be the top raw points player on this slate. He has scored 66 or more DK points in four of his last six games and has averaged 58.4 DK points against the Magic over the last two seasons. In the game last week in Orlando he put up 66 DK points, and I see no reason he shouldn’t be over 60 again in this game.
Reggie Jackson (DET) $5,500 @ NY
Jackson has been on fire lately, increasing his DK point total in each of his last five games including a season-high 46.5 in a loss to the Clippers Saturday night. The Knicks defense is not good overall and is especially bad against both guard positions. He had 33.8 DK points against the Knicks back in November on only 26 minutes — he hasn’t had less than 30 minutes in five straight games. Jackson will be an under-the-radar play on this fairly large Tuesday slate.
