It’s crazy to say this, but we crossed the halfway point early in the week. The All-Star break is also less than a month away from him, and it will be fun to see what these teams do before that trade deadline.

Some teams will have to make a desperate move and others will have to rebuild for the future. It’s a thing!

point guard

Kyrie Irving FD – $9600 DK – $10000
partner – GS
Project Point FD – 46.27 DK – 47.67

Irving has always looked like one of the best players in the NBA. With the former MVP off the floor this season, Kyrie compiled his 33% utilization and averaged 1.5 DK points per minute. Seeing Irving rack up his DraftKings points of 84 and 62 over the last two games shows it perfectly.

He has also been very consistent over the past two months, scoring at least 33 DK points in 20 consecutive games and averaging 46 points over the span. Those totals should easily reach against Golden State, which ranks 26th in points allowed while giving up the fifth-most fantasy points to their opponent’s PG.

Jamal Murray FD – $7900 DK – $6800
partner – OKCMore
Project Point FD – 39.59 DK – 40.8

As someone who had ACL surgery within weeks of Murray, it’s been fun to see him get his form back. We’ve seen flashes of that stud lately. Murray has scored at least 41 DraftKings points in his four of his last five games, averaging 38 points in his last 14 games.

That’s all you could ask for from a $7,000 player, and we’ve seen this guy reach $9,000 price tags in the past. A matchup against Oklahoma City is a good way to keep that ticker up, with the Thunder ranking 20th in points allowed. increase.

Saven Lee (FD $4500 DK $3800) has played over 28 minutes three times in a row and is too cheap with so many Phoenix players on the sidelines.

shooting guard

Damion Lee FD – $4900 DK – $5000
partner – MEMs
Project Point FD – 20.19 DK – 21.72

We talked about how understaffed this Suns team is, so let’s start there. With Chris Paul, Devin Booker, Cameron Johnson, Cameron Payne, DeAndre Ayton and Landry Shamet currently receiving injury reports, all six could be sitting here. This gave Lee the widest role of his career, playing at least 26 minutes in seven consecutive games.

Lee has also averaged 27 DK points per game over 30 minutes per night over his last six games. Phoenix can’t get this guy off the floor with so many players missing, and they’ve given him ball-handling duties as well, and while they might be worried against Memphis, their wing owns his OPRK, his 27th against.

Seth Curry FD – $4800 DK – $5100
partner – GS
Project Point FD – 25.04 DK – 26.43

It’s been a tough road for Curry, but Brooklyn needs this guy stepping up. They say this sniper has played his 30 minutes and done a lot on the bench he needs to shoot 15 or more and Curry said he could be a $7,000 player in a role like that. can. Curry has scored at least 20 DK points in his four straight games, three of which he has scored 25 or more.

The expanded role is great, and as long as this guy is playing 30 minutes and hitting double digits, Curry should be $1,000 higher. A rivalry game against his brother’s poor defense has galvanized him, and Curry has scored at least 26 fantasy points in three of his last four meetings with the Warriors.

Dennis Schrader (FD $5500 DK $5300) just posted 19 points, 8 rebounds and 8 assists in a recent game and could replicate that kind of line as the Lakers’ starting point guard.

small forward

lebron james FD – $11200 DK – $11400
partner – PORS
Project Point FD – 58.35 DK – 59.76

Earn studs with small forwards after a few rounds of cheap shooting guards. LeBron is just that, playing the best basketball at 20. The superstar has scored at least 37 DraftKings points in all of his 36 games this year, averaging 54 fantasy points per game. It’s crazy because he’s been doing a lot more since Anthony Davis went down and flirting with an average of 60 points since the big guy ripped his leg off.

The increase in minutes, shot attempts and uses is hard to believe from a player like this, but King James is getting harder to fade. Portland are also a phenomenal matchup, with James averaging 58 DK points per game in his two matches this year.

Kenrich Williams FD – $4900 DK – $4100
partner – den
Project Point FD – 20.65 DK – 20.8

Trusting Oklahoma City’s rotation is a quick way to get kicked out of the DFS tournament, but Williams is too cheap right now. The Thunder have started him for the past three weeks, and Williams has averaged 24 DK points per game in 23 minutes per night over the past 11 games. We love offers like this from players under $5,000, especially since his Kenrich role is going in the right direction.

He also hit the 41-point cap just two games ago. In the past, we’ve seen this guy a $6,000 player in his 30-minute role. A matchup against Denver should help him build on this stretch by giving the Nuggets his fourth-most fantasy points against a facing forward.

Trey Murphy III (FD $5200 DK $5000) is averaging over 25 DK points per game as a starter this year and should keep playing for 30-35 minutes with Zion Williamson and Brandon Ingram still side-in .

power forward

Julius Randle FD – $9800 DK – $11400
partner – Thor
Project Point FD – 46.2 DK – 50.19

I wasn’t always the biggest fan of Randle’s games, but this guy changed my mind this season. bottom. His recent form is even more ridiculous, with him scoring at least 52 fantasy points in 13 of his last 16 games. He’s also averaged 60 points over that span, playing 40 minutes while taking over 20 shots a game.

That’s Tom Thibodeau’s special and he should continue to be a monster with that strong workload. Dropped at least 53 DraftKings points in all.

Wenen Gabriel FD – $4800 DK – $4400
partner – PORS
Project Point FD – 22.02 DK – 21.55

Everyone expected Thomas Bryant to dominate center minutes in Los Angeles and AD to go down, but Gabriel had other ideas. Bryant is one of the worst defensive bigs in the NBA Because of that, what really helped Wen Yen is his defense. This allowed Gabriel to average 25 DK points per game in 26 minutes per night in his last five games. These look even better as the totals from players in this price range are compelling and all the momentum is currently in Gabriel’s favor.

It’s hard to imagine LA leaving Bryant to fall prey to Jusuf Nurkic, and may be looking 25-30 minutes from Wen Yen against a No. 19 Portland defense.

Jaren Jackson Jr. (FD $8200 DK $7300) is one of the best minute producers in the NBA, scoring at least 42 DK points in two of his last three games against Phoenix.

center

Nikola Jokic FD – $11700 DK – $11600
partner – OKCMore
Project Point FD – 1.79 DK – 1.81

Narrowing down the best players in fantasy should be easy as we’ve found this slate to be of immense value. It’s Jokic. This guy has been doing this for three years and is currently on one of the best stretches of his career.The two-time MVP has scored at least 51 fantasy points in 26 of his last 28 games. , with at least 58 DK points in 20 of them.

It’s hard to understand, but knowing that you’ve scored at least 80 DraftKings points on 8 of those occasions makes it a lot more believable. Oklahoma City is also an outstanding matchup, able to give the opposing center his fifth-most fantasy points. In his three matches this season, the Joker is averaging 24.3 points, 13 rebounds and 12 assists per game. If Jokic is to sit, he’ll pivot to Murray and Aaron Gordon’s beefed-up roles.

Yusuf Nurkic FD – $7300 DK – $7000
partner – Lal
Project Point FD – 37.44 DK – 39.36

If the Lakers leave Bryant there, Nuuk will have a big night. ranked 27th in That’s the recipe for success for players like his Nurk, and this big man is averaging 34 DraftKings points per game this season. In fact, he’s been averaging nearly 40 fantasy points per game since the first month, and he regularly plays for 30-35 minutes per night, so it’s no surprise. This guy has been a beast per minute throughout his career and could be a $9,000 player if he keeps playing for 30+ minutes.

Jericho Sims (FD $4600 DK $2400) started at center with Mitchell Robinson injured and could be a double-double threat in this newfound role.
