DraftKings NBA: Sunday Cheat Sheet

DraftKings NBA: Sunday Cheat Sheet

This article is part of our DraftKings NBA series.

Sunday's light four game schedule stretches from the afternoon into the evening, leaving you with an extended day of fun. Consider using the players below for your DraftKings entry to make it a successful end to the week.

Guards

James Harden, HOU at IND ($11,900): Harden is playing at his best right now and has scored at least 50.3 DraftKings points in six straight games. Not only did he score at least 29 points in each of those games, but he also dished out at least 11 assists three times. Expect elite production again Sunday.

Darren Collison, IND vs. HOU ($5,900): Collison is coming into this game cold as he has scored 22.8 DraftKings points or less in four of his last five games. However, when he is on, the numbers have been impressive as he has four games with at least 40.8 DraftKings points. If the Pacers are going to keep pace with the Rockets, they are going to need a big outing from Collison. At this price, he presents nice upside even taking into consideration his recent struggles.

Terry Rozier, BOS vs. TOR ($5,000):Kyrie Irving (face) has already been ruled out for Sunday, meaning extra playing time for Rozier. He played 29 minutes after Irving left Friday's game against the Hornets early, finishing with 33.8 DraftKings points. He could be one of the best value plays on the day.

Forwards

Paul George, OKC vs. DAL ($7,900): George has provided steady production this season, scoring at least 30.0 DraftKings points in 10 of 12 games. He is coming off his best game of the season Friday against the Los Angeles Clippers when he scored 42 points to go along with nine rebounds, seven assists, three steals and four three-pointers. With the Mavericks struggling, George could be in line for another big game.

James Johnson, MIA at DET ($6,200): Johnson was shut down Friday against the Utah Jazz as he only scored 10.8 DraftKings points. The Heat only scored 84 points in the game, so don't read too much into one bad outing where most of the team struggled to produce. He had scored at least 35.8 DraftKings points in three of four games entering Friday, so look for him to get back on track against the Pistons.

Bojan Bogdanovic, IND vs. HOU ($4,500): Bogdanovic scored a season-high 22 points Friday against the Chicago Bulls as he hit six three-pointers. While the Rockets are clearly a much better team than the Bulls, they do give up their fair share of points. Bogdanovic has scored at least 20.8 DraftKings points in seven of his last eight games, giving him value at this cheap price.

Centers

Hassan Whiteside, MIA at DET ($8,000): This is going to be a fun battle to watch between Whiteside and Andre Drummond. Whiteside had a tough matchup Friday against Rudy Gobert, but still managed to grab 20 rebounds on his way to 43.5 DraftKings points. Look for him to shine again Sunday.

Clint Capela, HOU at IND ($6,600): The Rockets are loaded with three-point shooting, but Capela has been the key for them on the boards this season. He is averaging a double-double for the first time in his career (12.4 points and 10.8 rebounds) and is also averaging a career-high 1.9 blocks. He presents an excellent mid-tier option for your entry.

Ryan Anderson, HOU at IND ($4,400): With so few games on the schedule, there aren't a lot of great cheap options at center. Anderson presents one viable cost saving possibility as he has scored at least 22.5 DraftKings points in three of his last five games. The Pacers allow the most DraftKings points per game (54.9) to opposing power forwards, so there is at least the potential for Anderson (who is also eligible at center on DraftKings) to catch fire.
