NBA DRAFT KINGS: March 2nd, 2016

Today we have a full range of match ups with 11 teams on the slate! Most notably OKC@LAC who's over under should be the highest of the night with the likes of Durant, Westbrook and Paul. When the slate is as big as tonight's, decisions can get confusing and if you don't have the ability to play 100 teams, you are more or less doomed, with that noted let's breakdown Super Wednesday, get down to the nitty gritty and try to win you some extra cash!

POINT GUARDS:
Russell Westbrook: $11,200
There isn't much to say about Westbrook, he's almost proven himself to score you 50+ a night but at his high value he would have to score you 60-70 points in order to prove worth as you could by two players who could easily break out for 30-40 points with the money you spend on Westbrook. Overall this game should have a huge over/under and Westbrook could have one of his special nights! Play him only if you can find punt options at low cost!

Chris Paul: $9,800
He's a better option tonight than Westbrook. He will play heavy minutes and be heavily relied on to take down OKC. At $1400 less than Westbrook, he could put up the same numbers, if not more.

Damian Lillard: $9,500
He's my top play tonight at the position! But, why? He's playing an atrocious defense in the Boston Celtics, who tend to love games in the high over/under category. With how red hot he's been over the last month expect a perfect storm for Dame tonight, especially if the game can stay close.

SHOOTING GUARDS:

James Harden: $10,400
He's been under performing as of late but is always a threat for 50+. Take him only if you can afford the extra!

Kris Middleton: $7,500
Top play at SG tonight! This guy has proven he can carry an offense as of late and being nearly 3,000 dollars less than Harden makes up a ton of extra points with more money to spend. He's also facing a defensively challenged Monte Ellis. TAKE HIM, TAKE HIM NOW!
(Arnold Voice)
Consider: C.J. McCollum, Monte Ellis, Kobe Bryant (off rest and cheap), Batum and Barton (obvious reason: playing Lakers)

SMALL FORWARDS:

Kevin Durant: $10,200

Kevin Durant is most likely a sure bet for 50+ tonight. He's less expensive than Harden and Westbrook which could save you some extra money. All in all, he's most likely the safest play on the board to get you a boat load of points.

Paul George: $8,600
As of late he has played great but he has the ability to make you feel like the most stupid daily fantasy player in the world! He is probably in for a great night against a fast pace Bucks squad but beware the ides of Paul!

Jerami Grant: $4,700
I like Grant a lot as of late. He has definitely won me some money on some nights and has cemented himself for the 76ers. With over 60+ DFS points the last two games he could have tons of value, especially if Charlotte can't keep a lead on them. My biggest punt of the night!

Power Forwards:

Honestly, you have such a wealth of options you shouldn't have a problem with points here but I'll list my choices in order:

1) Boogie Cousins (if you can afford)
2) Jabari Parker (hottest)
3) Anthony Davis (if not hurt) (if hurt go with Kenneth Faried or Ryan Anderson) 
4) Aaron Gordon
5) Julius Randle

Try to play Randle, Parker and Gordon together, they are all cheaper options who can all get you 35+.

Center:

As with PF'S it's the same deal, plenty of options, here's my choices:

1) Andre Drummond ($7,800, cheapest he has ever been, huge ceiling to topple value)
2) Karl Anthony-Towns
3) Pau Gasol
4) Marcin Gortat
5) Rudy Gobert (can get you 10+ points extra just on blocks)

PLAYERS ON FIRE:
D'Angelo Russell: $5,800
Play this cat. He is hot and coming off eight made 3-point field goals last night, facing a crappy, short-handed Denver squad. He does hinder a little bit with Kobe back in the lineup tonight but Kobe might take a step back and let the future star shine.

Jrue Holiday: $7,800
He's playing the almighty Houston defense, expect somewhere around 20, 10 and 5. Guards in general have taken advantage of the skiddish guard to guard defense that Houston plays.

Gourgi Dieng: $6,800
If available tonight expect him to take advantage of the undersized power forward spot for Washington. You could easily play him along with any of the three other I listed in the PF position.

My lineups:

LINEUP 1: The automatic money maker

D. Russell
K. Middleton
J. Grant
A. Gordon
A. Drummond
D. Waiters
J. Randle
J. Parker

LINEUP 2: Two Stars and a Punt!

D. Lillard
W. Barton
K. Durant
B. Portis
M. Plumlee
K. Bryant
D. Arthur (under owned, punt option)
E. Gordon (huge floor coming off of injury)

TIPS FOR DOLLARS:

1) I CANNOT STRESS THIS ENOUGH, DO NOT, I REPEAT, DO NOT GET SUCKERED INTO PLAYING HIGHLY PRICED PLAYERS!!! You will find just as much value in the middle salaries (ex. Middleton over Harden, Russell over Dame, Paul or Wall)

2) Go Cheaper at the PF spot. That combo of Randle, Gordon, Dieng or Parker could be a deadly weapon!

3) Try to take Durant, he should be lit tonight.

DARK HORSES/PUNT OPTIONS :
Jerami Grant
Bobby Portis (if Taj Gibson is out)               Jared Sullinger

Mason Plumlee

Doug McDermott
Kenneth Faried

Emanuel Mudiay

J.J. Redick 

Jamal Crawford

Steven Adams/ Enes Kanter


Any player you want to take that is playing the Lakers. LOL



Each day we thank Kobe Bryant for his commitment to the NBA. Respect, Mr. Bean.
