FREE 12/06 NBA Cheat Sheet: Top DFS Plays

Content provided by HeatingUpDFS - Exclusive DFS Hero Partner

Should have been a lot better of a night, but some guys like Mobley, Brunson and Barnes not getting normal minutes and the Spurs starting Sochan at C really killed things. Tonight we have a really fun 7 game slate that has plenty of late swap opportunity. I think you can take advantage of that to get an edge for sure. There is also some great mid range value that I will be taking advantage of as well. With that said... Our December 6th Starting Five is now LIVE!

PG: Tyrese Haliburton ($8,300)

I want all of this game. The Bulls and Pacers are both top 6 in pace and bottom 5 in defense efficiency so it is just going to be a run and gun environment with efficient looks. The matchup specifically for Hali is fantastic with the Bulls having the worst guard DvP by a mile this season. He has been a bit volatile, but when you get him right he scores in the 50-60 DK point range if not higher. The Bulls are on a back to back so they will be tired. I just can’t get enough of this game and it starts with Haliburton.

Honorable Mentions:

• Anfernee Simons ($6,600)
• Ayo Dosunmu ($5,700)
• D’Angelo Russell ($5,400)
• Mike Conley ($5,000)
• TJ McConnell ($4,700)

SG: Devin Vassell ($5,300)

Starting or not, I fully believe that Vassell is the Spurs 2nd best player behind Wemby. He was hurt coming into the season, so I expect them to ramp him up slowly. However, since the start of December he has scored 29+ DK points in every game and a usage rate closing in on 30%. Having Wemby out there with him will make things even better honestly. His price is cheap and even with just SG eligibility, you can easily fit him into lineups. DFS Hero is projecting him for just 13% ownership which isn’t even top 5 for SGs. I really think he is all around a great play tonight in a good matchup against Utah who has runs at the 7th fastest pace, is 2nd to last in defensive efficiency and also has the 2nd worst SG DvP on the season.

Honorable Mentions:

• Anthony Edwards ($8,900)
• Bennedict Mathurin ($6,800)
• Shaedon Sharpe ($5,900)
• Stephon Castle ($4,800)
• Bogdan Bogdanovic ($4,700)

SF: De’Andre Hunter ($5,000)

The Lakers are awful against SFs with the 3rd lowest DvP against the position. Hunter is relatively cheap compared to the 30+ DK point upside he has been showing recently. The Lakers in general don’t seem to want to play defense right now and teams are just abusing them because of it. I don’t really care that he isn’t starting. The minutes are strong and he is performing. The matchup sets up well for him and he is cheap enough that you can easily fit in more spend ups who have the slate breaking ceiling you need.

Honorable Mentions:

• Franz Wagner ($9,500)
• Jaylen Brown ($8,600)
• Lauri Markkanen ($7,000)
• Rui Hachimura ($4,900)
• Nickeil Alexander-Walker ($4,100)

PF: Jerami Grant ($5,700)

I am going to continue to take advantage of the pricing inefficiency for Grant until Draftkings prices him up. He is just too cheap when he was a high $6,000 and low $7,000 player last season and is playing like it now that he has returned from injury. 30+ DK points in back to back games with 35+ minutes in each as well. They play the Jazz who have had the 2nd worst defensive efficiency this season which is picture perfect for the Blazers. He might get up there in ownership, but I am willing to eat the chalk on Grant so I can spend up elsewhere.

Honorable Mentions:

• Lebron James ($9,600)
• DeMar DeRozan ($7,400)
• Wendell Carter Jr. ($5,100)
• Naz Reid ($4,900)
• Obi Toppin ($3,600)

C: Clint Capela ($5,400)

Just keep giving me Capela until they price him up. I could basically copy and paste the same thing I have said about Capela for the last two weeks. 28+ DK points in 12 of the last 14 games, facing a terrible C defense despite AD being in the paint. Yeah it certainly could flip where Okongwu outplays him, but these two have been able to coexist quite well where both benefit pretty much all season. It is and will continue to be a pricing thing, so give me all the Capela I can handle.

Honorable Mentions:

• Nikola Vucevic ($8,400)
• Deandre Ayton ($6,800)
• Rudy Gobert ($6,600)
• Walker Kessler ($6,300)
• Onyeka Okongwu ($4,400)
