DraftKings NBA: Tuesday Cheat Sheet

DraftKings NBA: Tuesday Cheat Sheet

This article is part of our DraftKings NBA series.

There are only two days left in the NBA regular season and Tuesday is a fairly quiet slate with only six games. There are still plenty of value plays available on DraftKings though, so let's take a look at some players with favorable matchups who could help you win some money.

Guards

Josh Hart, LAL vs. HOU ($5,900): The Lakers are dealing with several injuries right now and could be without Lonzo Ball (knee), Brandon Ingram (concussion) and Kyle Kuzma (ankle) on Tuesday. All three players did not take the court Sunday against the Jazz, resulting in Hart scoring 39.5 DraftKings points in 41 minutes. Hart has already logged at least 32 minutes in five of his last six games, making him someone to consider for your entry Tuesday.

Malik Monk, CHA at IND ($5,800): With nothing left the play for, the Hornets are giving their first-round pick a chance to shine down the stretch. He hasn't disappointed, scoring at least 28.5 DraftKings points in four straight games. He has attempted at least 13 shots in five straight contests, so expect him to be heavily involved in the offense again Tuesday.

Tyler Ennis, LAL vs. HOU ($4,500): Ennis is another player who stepped up with all of the Lakers injuries Sunday, scoring 38.5 DraftKings points in 29 minutes. He has logged at least 22 minutes in four straight games, scoring at least 20.5 DraftKings points in each contest. The Lakers play at the third-fastest pace (102.6 possessions per game) in the league, so the potential for added playing time could give Ennis a significant boost in value.

Forwards

Joe Ingles, UTA vs. GS ($6,700): The Jazz have clinched a playoff spot, but they are still playing for seeding. At only half a game back of the Blazers, the Jazz could play their way into the third seed with a couple of wins. Ingles has continued to be a consistent source of production down the stretch, scoring at least 32.3 DraftKings points in four of his last five games. He should see his regular allotment of minutes Tuesday against a Warriors team that plays at the fifth-fastest pace (101.9) in the league, leaving him as a viable option to consider.

Danuel House, PHO at DAL ($5,900): The Suns are dealing with a ton of injuries, which has left House to play at least 28 minutes in each of their last four games. He's taken advantage of the opportunity, scoring at least 28.5 DraftKings points three times. The Suns play at the fastest pace (102.7) in the league, so House is going to have plenty of chances to be productive if he gets added minutes again Tuesday.

Dorian Finney-Smith, DAL vs. PHO ($4,400): This is the last game of the season for the Mavericks and they have decided to rest Harrison Barnes. They are already missing several other key players in their rotation, so Finney-Smith should see a lot of minutes. Although Finney-Smith doesn't have a ton of offensive upside, he has scored at least 25 DraftKings points in two of his last three games. Considering the pace at which the Suns play and their own injury issues, Finney-Smith could provide value at this price.

Centers

Dwight Powell, DAL vs. PHO ($5,800): Not only will Barnes be out, but the Mavericks won't have Dirk Nowitzki (ankle), Nerlens Noel (suspension) or Salah Mejri (knee) on Tuesday. Powell should get plenty of minutes as a result and he has played well when given the opportunity, averaging 14.4 points, 8.4 rebounds, two assists and one steal in the seven games that he has logged at least 30 minutes this season. The Suns also allow the sixth-most DraftKings points per game (53.4) to opposing centers, giving Powell significant upside in this game.

Johnathan Motley, DAL vs. PHO ($5,400): Motley is another Maverick who should see plenty of minutes Tuesday, especially after logging at least 40 minutes in two of his last three games. He showed tremendous upside, scoring 49 DraftKings points Friday against the Pistons. His price has jumped up significantly as a result, but it's still low enough to warrant considering him for your entry.

Willy Hernangomez, CHA at IND ($4,400): The Hornets are still giving Dwight Howard significant minutes even though they are out of it, but Hernangomez is getting his chance to produce with Cody Zeller (knee) sidelined. His numbers aren't off the charts, but Hernangomez has scored at least 24.5 DraftKings point in five straight games. The Pacers allow the fifth-most DraftKings points per game (53.7) to opposing centers, making Hernangomez a viable option if you want to go really cheap at center.
