Here we are again, bringing you free DFS tips for the 8-game NBA slate tonight. The strategy I will be implementing tonight is a cash game strategy. Most of the value will be in between $5K-$8K to me. Monday, we fell short, but let’s go get some money tonight.

Tonight’s hottest option will probably be Nikola Jokic at $10,900 v. NO…and I am not going that route. Luka Doncic at $8,800 will be chalky as well, but I have a better option…De’Aaron Fox at $7,700! The fastest PG in the league will be squaring off against Trae Young and I know who I trust to win that matchup. CJ McCollum just notched a triple-double against the Hawks, and they are 26th against opposing PG’s. I will be pairing Fox with his counterparts Marvin Bagley III at $5,400 and Bogdan Bogdanovic at $5,500. These guys will be coming off the bench probably, but I want all the coverage I can get in this game. The over/under is at 235.5 and I would not be shocked if it goes over that.

Most of my guys tonight have the ability to handle the ball quite well. Will Barton is scheduled to be the starting PG for Denver against New Orleans and I firmly trust him in a matchup against Frank Jackson. The Pelicans are coming of a game last night and Barton does so many things well. I think I can bank on him getting 30+ DK points, and even though his price is a little hefty at $6,800…he has the ceiling of getting 40+.

The Miami Heat are one of the hardest teams to figure out in terms of fantasy value. Erik Spoelstra is a great coach, and doesn’t care about how nice it looks when they win. I watched these guys in a playoff game against the Hornets a couple years ago, and they play rugged. Tyler Johnson may be out and Dwayne Wade could be too. With that being said…I will go with Justise Winslow at $6,100. He has been on a burner this year, and is finally coming out of his shell offensively. He dropped 41.75 DK points against the Cavs a few days ago, and we all know the Bulls are tanking.

Last but not least, let me throw out my bargain choice of the day. I had it down to three players…Nic Batum at $4,800, Gordon Hayward at $4,800 or Allonzo Trier at $4,900. Drumroll please…………. I went with Trier. Yes, I know this is risky, but I cannot stand picking Gordon Hayward, he is a shell of his former self and possesses hardly any fantasy value. I want to believe so bad Gordon…but I can’t. Batum on the other hand is a massively overpaid, wannabe point-forward, who Charlotte signed to be a great shooter and he blesses them with 9 points, 5 rebounds, and 3 assists a game…wow. Anyway, Trier can erupt for a great night, and with Mudiay being out, maybe Trier provides a spark for the Knicks and can get me 25+ DK points.
