Hello everybody, and welcome back to another DFS Karma Game Theory article by yours truly! 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, and watch my NBA DFS First Impression Video, which outlines how these injuries impact the slate. After that, come back to this article to make sense of the news and look at couple of ways to start building for this slate. This is a nicely sized slate with a bit of injury news, so make sure to keep your eyes peeled throughout the day for updated news.
On both sites, I would start by locking in Jordan Clarkson. He will get a good amount of ownership tonight due to Donavan Mitchell’s absence. He has a good amount of usage already off the bench, and it will be interesting to see if Utah opts to start him or Ingles tonight. I expect them to start Joe Ingles who also is a very good play at the SG spot. Clarkson will still get increased minutes and shot attempts, and at his price he presents a lot of upside. He will be in a good amount of my lineups tonight, but the PG position is pretty loaded across the board. There are a surplus of guards in general at the PG and SG position.
A guy I like on FanDuel is Andre Drummond. Yes, I know the cover image I used is old). It is his first game as a Los Angeles Laker, and my oh my, am I excited as a Lakers fan. He is so so cheap on FanDuel and even though there is risk there because of the uncertainty of minutes and role, it is Andre Drummond. This Lakers team has been dying for a rebounding C and this is exactly what we need. He can easily grab double digit rebounds in a half. I love this spot and the upside presented. He will be in a lot of my lineups tonight.
Another spot I will be targeting tonight is the Toronto Raptors. I love the Raptors tonight who are without Kyle Lowry (foot infection…). This benefits Fred VanVleet, Pascal Siakam and OG Anunoby the most. I will definitely try to get some pieces from both sides of this game- as the Thunder have a plethora of injuries as well. I will go for Isaiah Roby, Moses Brown, and one of the forwards, Josh Hall, Justin Jackson or Kenrich Williams.
Make sure to watch for main piece of news we are still waiting for-
Zach Lavine- I expect him to sit. This will bump Satoransky, Patrick Williams and Nikola Vucevic. If Coby White plays he will get a usage bump too.
John Wall- If he’s out, Kevin Porter Jr. gets a huge bump, and will be a staple in lineups.
Jaylen Brown- Kemba Walker, Jayson Tatum and Marcus Smart get bumps if he sits.
There are many ways to go for this slate with still news awaiting for us, so make sure to monitor throughout the day to make sure you don’t miss out on anything important! Good luck tonight!
