Point Guard

Damian Lillard (PG – POR): $9,300 @ WAS
Lillard is coming off a disappointing performance that totaled only 36 FanDuel points, but I wouldn’t worry too much as he’s generally been a pillar of consistency, particularly as of late. Not only is Lillard a consistent DFS threat, but his matchup tonight against the Washington Wizards is a pristine one as they rank 30^th in defensive rating and 3^rd in pace. In what is expected to be one of the pacier contests of the night, both teams will have plenty of opportunities to collect points. Lillard is a solid star-studded option on a night that features some intriguing options.

Lonzo Ball (PG – NO): $5,300 @ LAL
One of the more head-scratching options on a nightly basis is the talented Ball brother. Ball has the ability to stuff a stat-sheet across the board, as evidenced by his 57-point performance that saw him register a 27 real-life point triple-double in his most recent contest. Tonight’s game against the Los Angeles Lakers does present a tough matchup as the Lakers rank 6^th in defensive rating and 17^th in pace, but this game does have a revenge-game narrative for Ball as he returns to the Staples Center.
