NBA DFS Advice
John Collins (PF/C – UTA): $7,100 DraftKings, $7,100 FanDuel
It’s going to be tough to fade Collins here. Utah is expected to be without Markkanen, Kessler, and Hendricks, which means JC is the only frontcourt player left in this rotation. In this role, he could be locked into 40 minutes and double-digit rebounds, scoring 50 DK points across 35 minutes on Monday. Those 35 minutes might be his floor here, and he’s got a 40-point base with that type of opportunity.
Jabari Walker (PF/C – POR): $5,200 DraftKings, $5,500 FanDuel
Walker can be frustrating to trust at times, but Portland has to play him massive minutes with how shorthanded this team is right now. We saw Walker score at least 39 DK points in two of his last three outings while posting a 34-point average when he plays at least 30 minutes. This kid should be locked into 30-40 minutes with so many Blazers missing, making him one of the best values in this $5K price range.
Jake LaRavia (SF/PF – MEM): $4,500 DraftKings, $4,300 FanDuel
Here we are with another shorthanded team. Memphis is missing nearly every player from their rotation at the beginning of the year, and they have value spread throughout their lineup because of it. LaRavia has looked like one of the best finds, scoring at least 26 DK points in three of those five games. Those were also the three times he played over 20 minutes, and as long as the minutes are there, LaRavia should be at least $1,000 more on each site.
