Friedman’s DK Tiers – DraftKings NBA Tiers for March 14, 2019

Hi there! I’m Aaron/AFriedman15 (@AFriedman15DFS)  and this is Friedman’s DK Tiers, where I will break down the DraftKings Tiers slate using information from the DFS Army NBA Research Station (RS),  DFS Army Domination Station (DS),  and other sources. I will generally try to write Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays, and Weekends, but I may have some spare time on other days as well.

In my articles, I will use a few terms which may or may not be familiar:

DKFPPG = DraftKings Fantasy Points Per Game

DKFPPM =DraftKings Fantasy Points Per Minute

Tier 1: 

Karl-Anthony Towns is my top play of the slate and naturally I will have 75%+ of him in my Tiers contests tonight. In three games versus the Jazz this season, KAT has averaged 27.7 PPG, 10.7 RPG, 5.0 APG for an average of 57 DK points. For GPPs, I’d actually take a shot on LeBron next, as even in reduced playing time he could crush, but I’d probably max at 20% LeBron. Westbrook has a bad matchup versus Indiana on a back-to-back so he is my third-rated play here.

 

Tier 2 :

My favorite play here is Kyrie Irving who has the top And1 Rating of the slate. Today, he gets a great matchup going against DeAaron Fox, who is not a good defender as the Kings are 29th in aDvP. Paul George will be popular as he heads back to Indy. Vucevic has an awesome matchup against Cleveland tonight, and he likely won’t make a ton of my “Classic” builds, but I do like grabbing Vuc here in Tier 2. I will be fading Jokic (blowout) and Doncic (injury) tonight.

Tier 3:

This Tier is pretty interesting to me. I don’t play a lot of Kawhi in “Classic” and he is looking pretty intrigung to me tonight, ranking 6th on our top projected DK points list.  My next favorite play is Donovan Mitchell, who I don’t like his classic price (8300–in cash I’d find the extra 600 for Kyrie), but he does have a lot of upside and next to Kyrie, he has the second highest And1 Rating on the slate. Kevin Love is worth a max of 10%. I’d consider running him back from Vuc in Tier 2, but I’d much rather go with Kawhi or Donny Mitch.

Tier 4:

Pascal Siakam is the cash play for me here. He is clearly the one I feel best about in this tier. As mentioned in Full Court Press, Myles Turner has gone for 40+ fantasy points in three of his last four games, so he’s worth a look in GPPs. I’d probably take a few shots on Aaron Gordon. I actually like the ORL/CLE game even though it has the lowest total on the board (our BTB model likes the over too!). I’m skipping the Sacramento guys tonight.

Tier 5:

This is my least favorite tier so I will probably just go for the safety with Al Horford. who has the best And1 Rating and FPPM in this tier, and Darren Collison is generally pretty reliable and is the point guard for Pacers who have a significant pace-up matchup today.

Tier 6:

With no Ibaka, Marc Gasol is going to be the clear chalk here. Do not get cute. Play Gasol in your cash games. Thaddeus Young is my second favorite play as Oklahoma City has been giving it up to the power forward postion, but for the most part, I will just eat the Gasol chalk.

Bookmark the  “Coaching Notes” page, it will remain the same regardless of coaches!.
