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: 

*UPDATE: GIANNIS IS OUT!!! ALL THE EMBIID, THEN HARDEN FOR ME.

Welcome to March NBA DFS. At the time of this screenshot, Giannis was still questionable and Joel Embiid was not loaded in our system after sitting out last game. Embiid is my favorite play in this tier. This is the fourth and final game of the season between the 76ers and Celtics and all Embiid has done is go for an average of 51 DKFP in the three meetings this week. I might be interested in Giannis if he’s in play. Please stay tuned to Slack as lock approaches, it will be vital tonight.

 

Tier 2 :

Russell Westbrook is the easy cash play.  My second favorite is Nikola Vucevic. Vuc is 9th in the NBA in paint touches per game and the Pels are the 5th worst team in paint points allowed/game, and as the Vuc has a slate high And1 rating of 25. Kyrie is also in play too here. He is in great form with three 30-point games in a row, and a big national TV game tonight at Philly. PG13 feels unnecessary here.

Tier 3:

Bradley Beal is my cash play. Other than Monday’s flop, Beal has been as consistent as it gets in the second half of the season. He gets a great bounceback situation here, he gets the most minutes, and it should be a close game too. I would want some Damian Lillard in GPPs (and if you even want Dame in cash, I don’t hate that either). I love Dame in this tier and in DK Standard too at sub $9,000. Doncic is interesting too, I’m a little nervous we have him projected so much lower than Lillard but If you are making a bunch of lineups, I don’t hate him.

Tier 4:

Elfrid is probably the cash play in this Tier and I think I will get my exposure to Elf in Tiers more than DK standard. I am very interested in Mike Conley tonight with no Avery Bradley. This is a great spot for him. I am not interested in the Utah guys and Aldridge.

Tier 5:

*UPDATE: LOVE IS NOW MY TOP GPP PLAY WITH NO GIANNIS**

Zach LaVine will probably be my cash play. If Giannis is out, I do think Love could be interesting. I’m off of the Philly guys with Embiid back. Lauri Markkanen is also a decent leverage play off of LaVine. Lauri is way overdue for a bounceback spot and with LaVine probable for today, I think he will Lauri will have a fraction of the ownership.

Tier 6:

*UPDATE: BLEDSOE AND MIDDLETON ARE ELITE PLAYS TONIGHT!!!

I like grabbing Middleton here for cash. I don’t know exactly how he’ll benefit but other than Giannis, he has the highest floor.  Bledsoe is in play too with no Brogdon. In GPPs, I like going with Nurkic. He has the highest ceiling in this tier.

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

Those are your DK Tiers! Some are going to be commonplace, and some won’t.  These are players my research led me to and some will contain risk.  Your research may indicate you agree or disagree, and that’s ok….we discuss these things in our coaching channels nightly.  Good luck tonight!  Check the coaches picks for even more confidence in your plays.  And always consult all of the unlocked tools (including the Research Station) before lock!  And, if you are catching me on a #FreebieFriday, you are going to want to unlock those coaching channels by admitting……
