This article is part of our DraftKings NBA series.
There are six games in the NBA on Tuesday, highlighted by a matchup between the Wizards and the Bucks. While it's not a packed schedule, there is still plenty of money to be won on DraftKings. Here are some players to consider who could hopefully help lead you to a winning entry.
Guards
Damian Lillard, POR vs. SAC ($9,700): Lillard has provided some big performances lately, scoring at least 63 DraftKings points in three of his last five games. His 30.3% usage rate not only ranks inside the top-10 in the league, but it also marks his third straight season where it has been at least 30%. He exploded for 50 points against the Kings when they met earlier this month and has a high upside again Tuesday.
Nicolas Batum, CHA vs. CHI ($6,300): The Hornets have won four games in a row and despite all their struggles this season, they amazingly sit just four games out of the eighth seed in the Eastern Conference. Batum has played well during their winning streak, scoring at least 30.8 DraftKings points in each contest. The Bulls allow the second-most DraftKings points per game (44) to opposing shooting guards, making Batum a viable option for your lineup.
Tomas Satoransky, WAS at MIL ($5,800): Satoransky has done a tremendous job filling in for John Wall (knee), scoring at least 30.5 DraftKings points in five of his last six games. He played at least 31 minutes in all six of those contests and should continue to get heavy playing time until Wall returns. While he may not always score a lot of points, his ability to contribute in multiple categories makes him someone to consider for your entry even though he is facing a tough Bucks defense.
Forwards
Giannis Antetokounmpo, MIL vs. WAS ($10,700): Giannis had a rough game by his standards Sunday against the Pelicans, finishing with only 38 DraftKings points. He had scored at least 50.3 DraftKings points in three of his previous four games, so don't expect him to struggle Tuesday. He's dominated the Wizards in three previous meetings this season, averaging 28 points, 13.3 rebounds, 5.7 assists and three blocks. Although he's the second-most expensive player at any position, he can still provide value.
Will Barton, DEN vs. LAC ($7,100): Barton is doing his part to help the Nuggets stay in the playoff hunt, resulting in at least 37 DraftKings points in six of his last eight games. He's having his best month of the season in February, averaging 18.7 points, 4.9 rebounds and 4.6 assists per game. The Clippers play at the sixth-fastest pace (101 possessions per game) in the league, which should leave Barton with added opportunities to provide value Tuesday.
Frank Kaminsky, CHA vs. CHI ($4,400): Kaminsky has scored at least 29.5 DraftKings points in back-to-back games, giving the Hornets a spark off their bench. He is only averaging 23 minutes per game this season, but has played at least 25 minutes in three of his last six games. The Bulls play a lot of small lineups and have been terrible defensively, leaving Kaminsky with some upside at this cheap price.
Centers
Dwight Howard, CHA vs. CHI ($8,400): The Bulls have benched Robin Lopez to give Cristiano Felicio more playing time, which opens up a major mismatch for Howard. Felicio couldn't stop Jarrett Allen of the Nets on Monday, who posted 18 points and nine rebounds in just 23 minutes. Howard has already recorded a double-double four of his last five games and could be in line for a monster performance Tuesday.
DeAndre Jordan, LAC at DEN ($7,900): Jordan continues to control the glass for the Clippers, grabbing at least 13 rebounds in 10 straight games. He's even scored more lately as well, averaging 16.6 points in his last five games. He should be a threat for a double-double every night, especially considering the fast pace at which the Clippers play.
Skal Labissiere, SAC at POR ($4,600): Labissiere has played in each of the Kings last three games after returning from a shoulder injury and logged 31 minutes Monday against the Timberwolves, so he looks to be fine moving forward. He was very productive in that game, scoring 20 points and grabbing four rebounds. There aren't a lot of great cheap centers Tuesday, but Labissiere should at least get enough playing time to make him a viable option.
