It’s another Monday in the world of NBA DFS, and we have a pretty decent sized seven-game slate to work with this evening. There are a few nice matchups this evening to target with the early returns indicating the Lakers and Clippers game to be the highest implied total on the board.
Small forward and center are the only two positions providing any player with salaries exceeding the $10,000 level, so there is definitely plenty of opportunity for variance this evening. As of the writing of this article, there are no major injuries to report for any of the slate’s top players, but as always stay up-to-date with the latest news all the way to tip-off so you don’t get hit with the late-scratch blues.
This article is intended to focus on the players I think have the best chance to push your lineup into the green. Players listed here will have the best chance of success based on matchup, recent play, and opportunity. There will be two players listed for each position, with the exception of center which will have one. As always good luck!

Point Guard
Eric Bledsoe (MIL): $7,400 @ PHO
Picking the players that are going up against Phoenix usually isn’t a bad place to start when building your lineup. Tonight Eric Bledsoe gets the benefit of matching up with the 26th ranked defense against opposing point guards. On top of the matchup, Bledsoe posted back to back 50+ FanDuel (FD) point games against both the Lakers and Kings. This is the type of upside he can provide when coming up against a defense he can expose. Over his past 10 games, Bledsoe has averaged 16 points, five rebounds, and five assists per game so he’s certainly the type of player that can use supplemental stats to help buoy his production. Even if Bledsoe doesn’t extend his streak of 50+ FD point outings, he’ll need just 37 FD points to hit 5x value, which I could easily see happening in this matchup.
