Guards

Derrick Rose (PG – DET): $7,500 vs. BKN
Rose has firmly entrenched his self as the starting point guard in Detroit and has played fairly well since being inserted into the starting lineup. The individual matchup Rose has tonight against Kyrie Irving is a strong one, and the Brooklyn Nets provide a nice pace-up spot for Rose and the Pistons as they rank 9^th in pace. Rose has now scored 20 or more points in 11-straight contests, and his usage doesn’t look to be slowing down any time soon.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (SG – OKC): $7,600 @ MIN
SGA is coming off a very strong performance in his last two contests, particularly the game last night in which he totaled 43.25 DraftKings points on the back of a 24-point performance. SGA has been steady as a rock throughout the entire month and has entrenched himself as the Thunder’s main scoring threat on the starting unit. The matchup tonight is a decent one with the Timberwolves ranking 16^th in defensive rating and 4^th in pace.
