DRAFTKINGS
K.J. Martin Jr., HOU ($5,300)
The Rockets only played eight players last night against the Bucks and could be in a similar spot tonight. If the Rockets don't get any players back, Martin is in a good spot. Martin played 39 minutes and had 26 points, seven rebounds, seven assists, and six three-pointers for 47.25 DK points. He had 50 DK points in 44 minutes in the previous game against the 76ers.
Malachi Flynn, PG TOR ($4,700)
With Kyle Lowry , Fred VanVleet , OG Anunoby and Chris Boucher out, Flynn will play a big role. In the last two games he has played at least 30 minutes, he has 29.5 and 27.75 DK points. In nine starts this season, Flynn is averaging 12.7 points, 5.9 assists and 1.2 steals.
Dwight Howard , C PHI ($4,000)
The 76ers could have a lot of value tonight. There's a chance Joel Embiid , Ben Simmons and Seth Curry are rested. If Howard starts, he's in play. The last time he played 25 minutes, he had 12 points and 12 rebounds against the Bucks for 35.5 DK points. He has at least 22 DK points in four of the last five games and hasn't played more than 18 minutes in any of them and gets a good matchup against Detroit.
FANDUEL
Khem Birch , C TOR ($5,800)
Birch has played well filling in for Chris Boucher . He has at least 34.3 FD points in five of the last seven games. In the last eight games, Birch is averaging 13.3 points, nine rebounds, 1.9 assists, 1.3 blocks and one steal per game. Memphis has allowed the fourth-most FD points to centers this season.
Armoni Brooks, SG HOU ($4,000)
If the Rockets only have eight players like last night, Brooks is in play. He played 34 minutes last night and had 19 points, six assists, three rebounds, three steals and one block for 40.6 FD points. He had 24.9 FD points in 30 minutes in the previous game and has played at least 30 minutes in three of the last four games.
Gary Trent , SG TOR ($5,000)
The Raptors will be without Kyle Lowry , Fred VanVleet , OG Anunoby and Chris Boucher . Trent missed six games with a calf injury and came back Thursday and had 25 points, six three-pointers, three rebounds, one assist and one steal in 36 minutes for 32.1 FD points. Trent relies on scoring, but he will see more usage with the Raptors missing players and he will take 15-20 shots from the field.
