DFS Rookie - The Player Pool Is the Moon to Me

https://youtu.be/FP819SfYZps?t=4s

Let's get to it...

PG - Russell Westbrook ($10,900) - The Clayton Kershaw of point guards.

PG - Mo Williams ($5,700) - Utah and Cleveland rank 30th and 25th, respectively, in PACE. What could possibly go wrong?

SG - Giannis Antetokounmpo ($7,000) - It appears as though the Bucks and Celtics have contrasting styles. More possessions for Boston seemingly increases the potential of foul trouble for Giannis, but he ranks first among FanDuel shooting guard options in FPPG this season (32.7) despite being tied for fourth in price at the position. Light it up, Giannis.

SG - Jeremy Lamb ($4,100) - The dud against the Spurs last time out was a matchup-based problem, right? Lamb had chipped in at least 20 FanDuel points per game in his previous three before the 4 pts, 4 reb and 2 TO effort against San Antonio.

SF - Andrew Wiggins ($6,900) - D.J. Trainor warned me about the volatility of young players this time last week. The increased minutes against the Bulls and Hawks led to consecutive 30+ point games from him each of the last two times out.

SF - Jae Crowder ($4,700) - Is he the only Celtic you can trust right now?

PF - Julius Randle ($5,900) - I will continue to play him until the price goes up.

PF - Chris Bosh ($7,900) - The toss-up here was between Bosh and Kevin Love, and the aforementioned pace concerns in the Utah-Cleveland matchup led me here.

C - Enes Kanter ($6,500) - Kanter continues to come off the bench behind Steven Adams, but he's cleaning up in the boards department when he's on the floor. Overall, he's averaging 12.9 pts and 9.3 reb in just 21.4 mpg.
