Draft Kings Bargain Thursday Night Basketball Picks

DJ Augustin - $3,500


Augustin played more minutes than Brandon Jennings, who started the game. Augustin finished the game against the Nuggets with 15 points (5-10 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 3-4 FT) and six rebounds.  He still will play more minutes than Jennings if Jennings Struggles.  They are  at Minnesota, and T-Wolves D don't scare no one.  If he can mimic the numbers he did last game, he is an extreme value at $3500


Shane Larkin - $3,000


Jose Calderon is out of the picture with an injury.  Larkin gets the start tonight.  Granted, his matchup is not ideal, home opener for the Cavs, but he might get a lot of garbage time production if this game gets out of hand.  He is as cheap as it gets, not promising anything except he will be on the court more than any other $3000 player


Otto Porter Jr - $3,000


This my be my favorite play tonight.  He is coming off a really solid game: 13 points, four rebounds, a steal and a 3-pointer on 4-of-7 shooting Wednesday.  Paul Pierce played 32 minutes last night, I see Otto's minutes increasing a little, and The Truths going down a couple.  Porter squares up against a banged up Orlando team.
