PG: Jrue Holiday: The Bucks are missing a few players and Malcolm Brogdon isn’t the best defender. Holiday see’s over a five percent usage bump with Anteokounmpo and even Khris Middleton is banged up and may not play. He’s taken 15 or more shots and scored 20 or more points in 3 of his last 5 games and he should take 18-20 shots this evening. He’s been shooting outstanding from the field lately hitting at least 50 percent of his shots in 4 of his last 6 contests. He’s been grabbing over four boards and dishing over six dimes per outing. Holiday himself isn’t a great defender but he is good at grabbing steals in the lane and has recorded 1.4 swipes per game. 

SG: Darius Garland: Garland continues to log heavy minutes and the Rockets are a bottom-five team at defending guards. Garland has taken 16-plus shots in 3 of his last 4 contests and he’s shooting over 46 percent from the floor. The Cavs frontcourt generates a lot of their offense because their immense size is tough for any team to match up against, but Garland leads the team in scoring putting up nearly 19 points per game and he takes the most shots on his team. Garland leads the Cavs in assists and steals as well. He’s coming off of back-to-back three-steal games. Garland has also dished 12 or more assists in 2 of his last 3 games. 

SF: Josh Hart: Hart has broken through the Pelicans rotation and we don’t know when we’ll see Zion Williamson back and while Hart hasn’t been taking double-digit shots regularly, he’s been making up for it with his defensive production. Hart has played 32 minutes or more in 4 straight games and scored in double figures in 3 of those contests. The Pace works in the Pelicans favor and the Thunder rank 29th in the league at defending mid-courts. Hart has pulled down 10 or more rebounds in 3 of his last 4 battles and he grabs about a steal per game. 

PF: Domantas Sabonis: With Giannis Antetokounmpo sidelined, Sabonis has a much easier matchup this evening and the guy has produced seven straight double-doubles. Sabonis has hit the 20-point mark in scoring in each of his last 4 games with 2 of those games being 30-point performances. He’s even dished five or more dimes and blocked a shot in three of his last four outings. Sabonis shoots 59 percent from the floor and he’s taken 13 or more shots in 3 of his last 4 battles. Sabonis has even posted three multi-steal games in his last five contests. He’s produced over 50 DraftKings points in 3 of his last 4 battles. 

C: Nikola Jokic: Jokic is at the top of the price chart tonight and he’s worth every penny because Karl-Anthony Towns is a very poor defender and he’s put up over 72 points on DraftKings in 3 of his last 4 games. He’s exceeded his 26.5 scoring average in all 3 of those contests. He’s grabbed 13-plus boards in 3 straight and has even dished 8 or more assists in 5 straight games. He produced multiple triple-doubles in his last five outings. The pace heavily favors the Nuggets and Jokic has been a five-category producer. He’s swatted away shots in his last three games and he’s posted steals in his last five contests with three of them being multi-steal games.
