    Welcome to today’s DFS Delivery article.

    Player Tiers

    Expensive Tier

    Luka Doncic ($12,400) Luka has simply been a DFS lock over the last three weeks. Over his last six games, Donic is averaging 60-plus DK points per game and has triple-doubled in three of them. The Clippers are giving up the sixth-most DK points to opposing point guards this season.

    Giannis Antetokounmpo ($12,000) Greek Freak is playing out of his mind as of late and is the clear top option on Thursday’s slate. He had a monster 80-plus fantasy points in Tuesday’s win over the Lakers and although he will be going up against the Suns tonight, the potential of him playing 35-plus minutes in a competitive game has got me excited.

    Kyrie Irving ($10,400) With the Nets playing on the road in Washington, Kyrie will be eligible to suit up. Both James Harden and Kevin Durant will be out and although Irving did not have any amazing performance without them yet, going up against the Wizards who are struggling mightily as of late, this should be an evenly matched, up-tempo game.

    Mid-Tier

    Jaren Jackson Jr. ($7,300) Memphis has been blowing out teams lately and I don’t see that changing against the Pistons. Although Jackson was limited to 26 and 29 minutes in the two most recent blowouts, he was still very productive with 33 and 47 DK points and has averaged 40.1 DK points per game over his seven. That means, even at these prices, he is providing a high floor.

    Reggie Bullock ($5,200) –  The price is getting up there but the opportunity cannot be ignored as Bullock has gotten some extra run recently with both Tim Hardaway and Kristaps Porzingis out of the lineup. Over the last six games without both guys, Bullock has averaged 32.6 minutes and has 31.7 DK points per game. I simply cannot overlook that value at $5.2K.

    Value

    Alperen Sengun ($4,800) – Sengun has been starting the last couple of nights and has been averaging over 30.0 minutes. Within that span, the big man is averaging a respectable 0.99 fantasy points per minute. Against a Toronto team that is on the second night of a back-to-back and is bottom-five in allowing offensive rebounds,  I could see Sengun doing some damage.

    Alec Burks ($4,800) – The Knicks have so, so, so many injury concerns but the largest is RJ Barrett, who has already been ruled out for tonight. The last time Barrett was forced to miss time, it was Burks that filled the void in a big way and was playing 38.8 minutes across his five starts and was producing close to 1 point per minute.

    Taj Gibson ($3,300) –  With Robinson and Noel unavailable on Tuesday, Gibson had 23.5 DKFP in 26.6 minutes. Tonight against the Warriors, I expect him to get the start again and if he avoids foul trouble he is going to be too cheap to ignore.

    Honorable Mentions: Ja Morant ($10,300), Chris Paul ($9,200), Kyle Kuzma ($7,400), Jerami Grant ($6,100), Desmond Bane ($6,300), Thomas Bryant ($3,300)
