Hello everybody, and welcome back to another DFS Karma Game Theory article. Today there are a couple things to monitor regarding injuries and COVID-19 protocols, so be sure to keep your eyes peeled. For injury news, please make sure to check our injury article here! This is a large-sized slate with a lot of injury news, so make sure to keep your eyes peeled. I’ll be going with a different style of Game Theory today, so let’s see if you guys like this one- it’s shorter, straight to the point and highlights my top plays.
- Point Guards: Jamal Murray, Ja Morant, Kemba Walker, Ricky Rubio and Michael Carter-Williams are all usable in cash. Make sure to keep an eye on Barton news in regards to Jamal Murray. Chris Paul, Lonzo Ball, Delon Wright and Trae Young are my GPP PGs. I think Trae is in a fantastic spot. *key news to watch for here: Ben Simmons and Kyle Lowry- if both are out, check shooting guards below to find out how they benefit.
- Shooting Guards: Fred VanVleet & Norman Powell are my top two SGs, dependent on Lowry news. Lowry was first doubtful then upgraded to questionable. If he suits up, FVV is still fine but I am off of Powell. Zach Lavine, Donavan Mitchell & Jordan Clarkson (if Conley OUT) are good in all formats. If Ben Simmons is out, Seth Curry becomes a lock in all formats.
- Small Forwards: Waiting on Kawhi news. Pascal Siakam is a great play in all formats if Lowry is out. Khris Middleton has been absolutely stinking it up from a fantasy aspect as of late, but that price is dipping lower and lower. Mikal Bridges is cheap and cash viable. Cedi Osman is a great value SF, along with Josh Hart who I love if Adams sits.
- Power Forwards: Giannis Antetokounmpo is viable in all formats. Zion Williamson is in a great spot tonight as well, and will get even a better boost if Adams sits. Tobias Harris if Ben Simmons sits, Jerami Grant, John Collins, and Chris Boucher are all fine in any format. PF is pretty slim pickings tonight.
- Centers: Willy Hernangomez is my TOP Value Center. If you pay up, you should go Embiid or Jokic. Keep an eye out for Simmons news for Embiid, and Barton news for Jokic. Regardless, these two all star starting centers should be viable in any format on almost any given night.
MY CORE 3 for cash games: Fred VanVleet, Pascal Siakam, Willy Hernangomez
MY CORE 3 for GPP Tournaments: Delon Wright, Nikola Jokic, Josh Hart
That is all for today’s article! I appreciate you guys all for reading and as always, it’s been your boy Tristan aka SrirachaDFS, and I’m out, peace!
