Monday Nights Top Draftkings Basketball Plays

Jose Calderon –PG KNICKS  $3,000 (MINIMUM)

Calderon is now the “Starting PG” for The Knicks.  He made his debut Saturday and played fairly well in 21 Minutes of action.  I would expect his minutes to creep up closer to the 26:00 minute mark tonight.  Patrick Beverly is out tonight so Calderon will face up against Isaiah Canaan, which is a pretty good matchup.  I don’t expect Calderon to put up 40 fantasy points, but 20 to 25 points is quite possible and at $3,000 that makes him a huge value.

 

Kostas Papanikolaou – SF ROCKETS $3,600

Big Papa is averaging 28.62 fantasy points and 36 minutes in the past 2 games.  Dwight Howard is out again tonight, so Pap’s minutes should remain between 30-35.  HE faces the Knicks tonight and should stay around the 24-30 fantasy point range, far exceeding his pricetag.

 

Nikola Mirotic – PF BULLS $4,300

Nikola scored an amazing 42 fantasy points in 35 minutes of action last game.  Taj Gibson is out, so he makes a nice play getting the extra minutes.  If Pau Gasol is out again, Nikola is a 100% must start against Utah tonight.  This kid has talent and is actually fun to watch.

 

Channing Frye – PF MAGIC $5,200

Frye has been logging serious minutes so far this season, and tonight will be no different with Kyle O’Quinn still sidelined and Tobias Harris a game time decision.  He will square up against The Cavs tonight who boycott playing defense for some reason.  $5,200 is still cheap enough for him to return value.  His price should be a lot closer to $6,000

 

Use these values to get Harden, Vu, Chris Paul, and Monta Ellis in your lineups tonight
