Aaron Gordon , PF ORL ($5,500) - I know Gordon has been terrible the last two games, but there is just no chance I ignore this price tag. $5.5K? Are you serious? This is a guy who put up 35+ FDP in four straight leading up to this two-game struggle. The Raptors are a great matchup for Gordon as they’re 28th against power forwards this season. Not to mention this is a big pace up spot for Orlando and we love that. I generally wouldn’t suggest using Gordon in cash games, but this price warrants usage in any and all formats.
Darius Garland , PG CLE ($5,200) - Garland is coming off a 24-actual point game last time out and has now put up 25+ DKP in two straight since entering the starting lineup. This matchup for Cleveland is arguably the best on the board as MIN ranks 29th in DvP against point guards. Minnesota is fourth in pace and Cleveland is 29th, so we should really love CLE here, especially Garland at this price.
Terence Davis, SG TOR ($3,800) - We already got the news that OG Anunoby is out and Norman Powell is questionable, so we should see Terence Davis slide into the starting lineup once again. We know he’s lightning in a bottle when on the court and has never seen a shot he does not like. Despite a limited role, Davis has a 23.9% USG rate and averages .91 FP/min this year. ORL ranks 18th against DvP, so advantage Davis.
DraftKings
Jeremy Lamb , SG/SG IND ($5,200) - Something that has been very evident all year long is that we should be looking to attack Philadelphia at the wings. Lamb flopped two games ago and then responded with a nice showing playing 30 minutes while putting up 27.5 DKP. Since returning from injury Lamb has posted a 20.9% USG and averages .93 FP/min. At this price on such a small slate, Lamb can be trusted in all formats.
Davis Bertans , PF WAS ($4,700) - What’s interesting is that Bertans played 25 minutes in his first game back after 18 days off. He played horribly, sure, but the minutes are what stand out. Brooklyn is a dreadfully bad defensive unit ranking 26th in DRtg during the month of January. Bertans averages .8 FP/min with both Russell Westbrook and Bradley Beal on the floor, which isn’t bad at this price point. He’s a tournament play only.
Ed Davis , C MIN ($3,300) - If Naz Reid sits out again, Davis should play 20+ minutes in this spot against Cleveland. He could probably approach 30 if this game stays competitive and he’s being handed out for free. Davis is not a very high usage player but without Towns and Reid this year he’s averaging .9 FP/min and what more do you want from a guy who’s 3.3K?
