With six games on Monday’s slate, let’s get into some of the multiplier plays over on SuperDraft.

Guard

Stephen Curry, Golden State Warriors (1x score multiplier) – The most important thing to do on this slate, and every slate until further notice, is to stay glued to your preferred NBA news feed (mine is the FTN NBA Discord channel). With more players in the health and safety protocols than any other time in the pandemic and games being postponed almost daily over the last week, there are more moving parts than normal on these slates. The Warriors are one of the most recent teams to be hit with the health and safety protocols and will be without Andrew Wiggins and Jordan Poole against the Kings. Unless you’re relatively new to NBA DFS, you know that the matchup against Sacramento is a friendly one, and without Wiggins and Poole it’s nearly impossible to ignore Curry. He’s got a massive 36% usage rate with those two off the court this season and he should do most of the heavy lifting for the Warriors on the offensive end.

Tyrese Haliburton, Sacramento Kings (1.3x) – On the other side of this game, the Kings are even more shorthanded than the Warriors. Sacramento’s sophomore guard has been taking advantage of being able to play point guard with De’Aaron Fox absent, playing no less than 36 minutes over the last three games and averaging just over 49 SuperDraft points. In last night’s win over the Spurs, Haliburton recorded his highest usage rate through his 29 games played this season. In addition to Fox, the Kings are also missing Terrance Davis, Davion Mitchell, Marvin Bagley, Alex Len and Louis King. The rotation is naturally condensed with so many names littering the inactives list, so Haliburton isn’t the only attractive Kings player on the slate, but he stands out of my preferred option if only rostering one. The combination of elevated opportunity and minutes projected in the high 30s is a recipe for DFS success from Haliburton.

Forward

Joel Embiid, Philadelphia 76ers (1x) – Going back to my opening point on being in tune with news more so than normal on this slate, we’re not even sure if this game plays as of this writing. The 76ers game Sunday was postponed due to Philadelphia not being able to field the required eight players to start the game. Reports are that this game is expected to play Monday night, but lots of curveballs have been thrown our way recently so we must stay on our toes. Embiid gets a matchup against Boston, who is shorthanded in their own right, missing Al Horford and Grant Williams in the frontcourt along with five others in the protocols. Embiid looks great even at the multiplier floor when we use his forward eligibility. He should do fine against Robert Williams and feast on Enes Kanter if Celtics coach Ime Udoka is forced to use that matchup. Embiid himself is questionable as of this writing. If he ends up sitting, Andre Drummond becomes a priority at the center position.

Jaren Jackson, Memphis Grizzlies (1.35x) – Last time we saw these two teams play, the Grizzlies set the NBA record for margin of victory. I don’t think we’ll see anything close to that here, but it’s a great matchup for Memphis players at any position outside of whomever is thrown in the “Dorture Chamber.” That honor won’t go to Jackson though (my money is on Dillon Brooks), and he looks like an attractive play especially in tournaments at his multiplier. His usage has been hovering around 30% over the last two weeks, and with Memphis still without some of their frontcourt depth in Brandon Clarke and Santi Aldama, Jackson stands out. Of course, he’s one of the most foul-prone players in the NBA, which keeps him as a GPP only option for me on this slate. As an interesting note for those who like tracking these sorts of things, Jackson’s per-36-minute foul rate is down substantially from his career rate of over 5.2 fouls to just 4.6 through 30 games this season.

Center

Rudy Gobert, Utah Jazz (1.15x) – There are multiple centers who I would cycle through if running multiple lineups here, but my favorite in tournaments is Gobert. The multiplier has inched down a bit, but the matchup against the Hornets is as juicy as it gets. The Jazz have an implied team total of 124.5 as of this writing, one of the highest in the NBA this season. The frontcourt of Mason Plumlee, P.J. Washington and Nick Richards has little to no shot of preventing Gobert from gobbling up his typical high-teens in rebounds and he certainly possesses the ability to put up 20-plus real points in this matchup. With blocks worth three points apiece on SuperDraft, Gobert is a guy who can help you climb the leaderboards in a hurry and should come in with lower ownership than the likes of Nikola Vucevic (1.2x) against Houston and Chimezie Metu (1.7x) against the Warriors. Both of those guys are great options as well, but in one lineup give me Gobert as my favorite center play and best way to get exposure to this Utah team barring any late news.
