Let’s get prepared for Monday DFS tips! We have a small slate before us with six games tonight. The season is winding down and each game is important. Today’s strategy will be a cash game strategy, as I am pleasantly surprised with the amount of scoring options that DraftKings has to offer. So…let’s do it!

My top choices are each $8K and up, these players are Donovan Mitchell at $8,400 and D’Angelo Russell at $8,000. The last time Mitchell played the OKC squad, he produced 53 DK points. Ricky Rubio is absent from the lineup and Mitchell looks to be the primary ball-handler. Don’t be surprised to see Mitchell get 40+ DK points. D’Angelo Russell is a similar player to Mitchell in the fact that he shoots…well...a lot! His opponent the Detroit Pistons, are 24th in opponent’s field goal percentage, so I like Russell’s odds of hitting close to half of his 20 shots he’ll get tonight.

Sacramento and Washington will be facing off against each other, and the over/under is 240 for the game. Since I am picking a lot of scorers, I decided to not stop with Mitchell and Russell…. I’ll get Buddy Hield to compliment them. Hield is $7,400 tonight and is automatic to put up 15+ shots in the contest. With this game predicted to be a “track-meet” I am also going with Jeff Green at $4,400. He averages rough 28 minutes per game this year. Frank Kaminsky will be chalky tonight, but he is at the same price of Jeff Green, and if you have picked Kaminsky in the past…you know he could score 5 or 40 DK points. I like the stability Jeff Green offers.

Typically, I end with my bargain choice…but I have two guys I really like in the last game of the night. Boston and the Clippers tip-off at 10:30 and I always like having some action in the last game. Jayson Tatum is out and look for Jaylen Brown to pick up some scoring slack. He is priced at $4,500 and matches up well against a weaker Clippers team. Gordon Hayward has been shooting lights out in his last three games. The former Jazz star has regained his old form it seems, and is shooting 71% in that time-frame. At $4,600…I’ll take that all day.
