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 perfect sized slate with a bit 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: Luka Doncic, Damian Lillard and John Wall highlight my top tier PGs. They all have great floors and can be used in any format. I like these three to see the most exposure across my lineups tonight. Lillard does see a little bit of a tougher matchup but nothing will stop him from shooting atleast 20 shots a game. Although PHX can throw out some lengthy wings on him, Dame is Dame. Luka Doncic will receive a huge bump if Kristaps Porzingis is out, so keep an eye out for that. In the mid-lower tiers, I like LaMelo Ball, Ja Morant, and Kendrick Nunn *if Tyler Herro is OUT.
- Shooting Guards: Shai Gilgeous-Alexander should be one of the premium SG plays of the day with Al Horford out. Be careful here as Shai is coming off of an injury of his own, but I think he’s good to go without any limits of some sort. Eric Gordon is my staple today, and I will be using him in a lot of my lineups. Grayson Allen and Gary Trent Jr. are some of my low owned mid-tier SGs.
- Small Forwards: LeBron James highlights this position, I like him a lot in a very fast paced matchup vs the Wizards who have no one that can guard him. It’s hard to fit him in today but this could be a monster triple double game for the King. Gordon Hayward is a very great play in his revenge game vs the team that drafted him in Utah, and his price isn’t that bad on both sites. I also like Mikal Bridges, Garrett Temple, and Derrick Jones Jr. in all formats.
- Power Forwards: Pretty slim spot here today. I had Kristaps Porzingis before the whole back injury crept up on him. Isaiah Roby is locked in all formats, Darius Bazley is worth a look here too. JaeSean Tate is a great play but EXPENSIVE.
- Centers: Enes Kanter, DeAndre Ayton and Rudy Gobert here for me. Montrezl Harrell is a great GPP play.
MY CORE 3 for CASH: Luka Doncic, Eric Gordon, Isaiah Roby
MY CORE 3 for GPP: John Wall, Gordon Hayward, DeAndre Ayton
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!
