Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (PG – OKC)

• DraftKings Price: $10,100
• FanDuel Price: Not Available

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, the MVP candidate, has been a DFS force to be reckoned with, averaging an impressive 53 DraftKings points per game. He’s been consistent, scoring at least 38 fantasy points in nearly every game this season. Facing the San Antonio Spurs, who rank 25th in points allowed and 26th in defensive efficiency, SGA is poised for another big night. San Antonio recently allowed over 100 DraftKings points to Joel Embiid, and Gilgeous-Alexander has been on fire, with three consecutive games of 57 or more DK points. Keep an eye on his status for back-to-back games, but if he plays, he’s a top play.

LaMelo Ball (PG – CHA)

• DraftKings Price: $9,600
• FanDuel Price: $9,800

LaMelo Ball has been electric when he’s on the court, consistently delivering for DFS players. He’s posted at least 47 DraftKings points in 15 out of the 19 games he’s completed this season. With an average of over 50 DK points per game in those outings, Ball’s matchup against the Detroit Pistons is promising. The Pistons have the second-worst defensive rating in the NBA, and in their last meeting, Ball narrowly missed a triple-double, falling just one rebound and one assist short. He’s a high-floor option with plenty of upside.

Towns has been in excellent form, averaging 45 DraftKings points per game over his last 12 outings. He recently had a massive game against a subpar Charlotte defense, and his matchup against the Washington Wizards is even more promising.
