DRAFTKINGS
Edmond Sumner , SG/SF IND ($4,400)
Sumner has started the last two games and should again with Myles Turner and Domantas Sabonis out. Simpson has played 34 and 37 minutes the last two games and had 32.25 and 33.75 DK points and is averaging 21.5 points, four rebounds and two assists. He gets a good matchup against the Blazers, who rank 29th in defensive efficiency.
Khem Birch , C TOR ($4,700)
Birch has started six of eight games with Toronto and is averaging 25 DK points per game. He played 29 minutes last night and had 14 points, six rebounds, two steals, two blocks and one assist for 31 DK points and gets a good matchup against Brooklyn.
Jaden McDaniels, PF MIN ($3,600)
McDaniels has been inconsistent, but he's got a high ceiling at this price and a great matchup against a small Rockets team. He has at least 21.5 DK points in two of the last four games and has played at least 30 minutes in the last four games. McDaniels had six points, 10 rebounds, two assists and two blocks for 25.5 DK points last night against the Jazz.
FANDUEL
Kevin Porter , SF HOU ($5,600)
Porter returns after missing three games due to health and safety protocols and will have the ball in his hands often with John Wall shut down for the rest of the season. Porter has a 28-percent usage rate with Houston. Minnesota's defense is one of the worst, especially against guards. Minnesota is 28th in defensive efficiency.
Tim Hardaway Jr., SG DAL ($3,900)
Better value could open up based on more players sitting. It's never exciting playing Hardaway since he's reliant on scoring, but he could start again for Dallas. Kristaps Porzingis and Josh Richardson are doubtful and Luka Doncic , Maxi Kleber , Dorian Finney-Smith and JJ Redick are questionable. Hardaway started last night and had 19 points, two assists and one rebound for 23.2 FD points.
Armoni Brooks, SG HOU ($4,100)
There's risk with Brooks but the minutes should be there. He's one of the few players that can handle the ball even with Kevin Porter returning since John Wall is out for the season. The Rockets likely want to see what they have with Brooks. He played 42 minutes in the last game and had 12 points, seven rebounds and five assists for 22.9 FD points. He has played at least 30 minutes in the last three games with at least 22.9 FD points in two and a matchup against Minnesota, which is 28th in defensive efficiency helps.
