    Welcome to today’s DFS Delivery article.

    6 games on the slate tonight, a perfect-sized slate in my opinion, since you can have chalk options and still be different since there will always be some hidden gems that you can pick for your lineup and avoid the huge ownership.

    Tonight’s slate seems to be one that I will go with a balanced build, at least with the news we have at the moment, and with that said, let’s go and have a look at some of my top plays for tonight on DraftKings.

    Player Tiers

    Expensive Tier

    Devin Booker ($9,300) Booker is averaging 37.1 minutes and 32.0 points across his past 10 games and he is playing like he has a chip on his shoulder. Tonight, against the Hawks, he will have a favorable matchup, pace-wise but also defense-wise, since the Hawks are in the bottom half of the league in points allowed at the guard position.

    Pascal Siakam ($9,000) Basically, if you are in the Toronto Raptors starting lineup, you are in play on every DFS slate, since they play 35+ minutes per game. Siakam is averaging 48.6 DKFP over his last six starts and is logging more than 40 minutes per game. With Chicago lacking a rim protector, I think Siakam keeps the good times going on Thursday.

    Mid-Tier

    Jerami Grant ($6,500) Grant returned from injury on Tuesday and played 29 minutes. He looked good, racking up 17 points and shooting 50.0% from the 3-point range. I expect him to get more minutes tonight and with Cunningham questionable, there could be an increase in usage also.

    Gary Trent Jr. ($6,100) –  What I said for Siakam more or less applies to Trent Jr. also. He is shooting efficiently at high volume and playing 35+ minutes in what looks to be another game that will go to the wire for Toronto, securing his minutes and opportunities.

    Value

    Bogdan Bogdanovic ($4,900) – If Young is unable to play through his questionable tag, that would open the door for Bogdanovic to run the show. Either way though, he is a good play, since he is playing 30+ minutes, although he is not starting. He has a 24.1% usage rate and that’s with Trae Young playing. All that at below 5k is very enticing.

    Drew Eubanks ($3,300) –  Eubanks should start tonight and to be fair he could play the whole game since the Spurs are without big men (unless they decide to play Thad Young tonight). Either way, Eubanks is a highly efficient player and per-minute producer when he is on the floor and his minutes look to be secure for tonight, making him look like an excellent value play.

    Honorable Mentions: Chris Paul ($9,700), Scottie Barnes ($6,800), Andrew Wiggins ($6,700), Chimezie Metu ($4,200), Justin Winslow ($3,600)
