Hello everybody, and welcome back to another DFS Karma Game Theory article. 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 here! This is a medium sized slate with a bit of injury news, so make sure to keep your eyes peeled. I’ll be going with a different style of Game Theory today, so let’s see if you guys like this one- it’s shorter, straight to the point and highlights my top plays. If you haven’t check out my NBA First Impression Video where I go over my initial rundown of the slate, here.

  • Point Guards: Damian Lillard, Jamal Murray, Ja Morant are my CASH PGs. Tyler Johnson, Hamidou Diallo, Lonzo Ball, Kyle Lowry and Chris Paul are my GPP PGs.
  • Shooting Guards: James Harden is LOCKED in all formats. Run it back with Devin Booker, who is a fantastic play. Dillon Brooks, Grayson Allen and Bruce Brown are my top VALUE SGs on the slate.
  • Small Forwards: LeBron James is a close lock in all formats. This is a great matchup for him and I expect double digit assists tonight. It is a little tough fitting him tonight, but I want to pair him with a mid tier guy like Kyle Anderson or Michael Porter Jr. I love both of these guys and I wouldn’t mind getting of Bron to play these two, but in cash I think I’m leaning towards Lebron. Joe Harris isn’t a bad GPP play today either, but Suns are good on the wing.
  • Power Forwards: Giannis Antetokounmpo is viable in all formats. Kyle Kuzma, JaMychal and Jeff Green are also fantastic cash plays as well. Zeke Nnaji is decent for tournaments.
  • Centers: Al Horford, Enes Kanter and DeAndre Jordan are my top Center plays tonight. I think they are usable in all formats. I also like DeAndre Ayton for GPPS only. Low floor but high ceiling.

MY CORE 3 for cash games: Murray, Kuzma and Harden

MY CORE 3 for GPP Tournaments: Harden, Ayton and Kyle Anderson

That is all for today’s article! I appreciate you guys all for reading and as always, it’s been your boy Tristan aka SrirachaDFS, and I’m out, peace!
