The NBA presents Draftkings basketball fans with a regular season matchup featuring the Portland Trail Blazers and the Los Angeles Lakers. Let’s take a look at this game from a DFS perspective.

Before we dive into the Portland Trail Blazers vs. Los Angeles Lakers game let’s review the rules for Draftkings single game showdown contest.

Draftkings Single Game Showdown Contest Rules

You have $50,000 to utilize on five players from either team. However, one of those players will be designated as your team captain. The captain accumulates 1.5 times the standard fantasy points. Additionally, the captain is 1.5 times the standard cost of the flex position.

The remaining four players in your lineup will receive the standard fantasy points. Having stated that, it is highly important for you to identify the correct player for your captain position if you hope to win a large field DFS GPP (guaranteed prize pool) showdown contest.

If you have additional questions regarding the rules for the single game showdown contest, I recommend that you check out the Draftkings website for more details.

*I recommend that all readers review the starting lineups for both teams prior to setting your DFS lineup for this one game slate.

Here are my Draftkings picks for this evening’s Los Angeles Lakers vs. Portland Trail Blazers matchup.

Draftkings NBA Showdown Picks

Captain-LeBron James, Point Guard, Los Angeles Lakers $11,200

In my opinion, forward LeBron James has been the driving force behind the Los Angeles Lakers success on the offensive side of the basketball this season. Having stated that, how has the veteran forward performed from a statistical perspective? Let’s review James recent game data to answer that question.

In the 33 games that LeBron James has played for the Los Angeles Lakers in the 2024 NBA regular season, James is averaging 24.3 points, 7.7 rebounds, 9.1 assists, 0.5 blocks and 0.9 steals a game.

It is noteworthy that these two teams met previously this season. Who prevailed? How did LeBron James perform in the game? In the Los Angeles Lakers 114-106 win over the Portland Trail Blazers last month, James played exceptionally well. More specifically, LeBron James tallied a massive 38 points, three rebounds and eight assists in the Los Angeles Lakers victory over the Trail Blazers.

It should be noted that the Los Angeles Lakers have listed LeBron James as questionable for Thursday night’s game. Keep that in mind as you construct your lineups for this NBA DFS contest.

In my view, LeBron James is the most likely player to post the most Draftkings points in this NBA regular season game. For that specific reason, I am rolling with talented Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James at the captain position for this one game Draftkings NBA Showdown contest.

Flex Plays

Anfernee Simons, Guard, Portland Trail Blazers $7,600

In the 51 games that shooting guard Anfernee Simons has played for the Portland Trail Blazers in the 2024 NBA regular season, Simons has averaged 18.6 points, 2.7 rebounds, 5.1 assists and 0.8 steals a game.

More recently, in the Portland Trail Blazers 102-97 win over the Charlotte Hornets last month, Anfernee Simons accumulated 27 points, five rebounds, two assists, two steals and one block in the Trail Blazers victory over the Charlotte Hornets.

Looking closer at the data just presented, in the Trail Blazers victory over the Hornets, Simons compiled 36.3 Draftkings points.

Additional flex plays I like to play well in this Thursday’s NBA regular season game (Draftkings price noted): Luka Doncic, Guard (Los Angeles Lakers) $11,600: Austin Reaves, Guard (Los Angeles Lakers) $9,200: Deni Avdija, Forward (Portland Trail Blazers) $7,400.

Draftkings NBA Showdown Picks

Captain-Victor Wembanyama, Center, San Antonio Spurs $12,000

How important has San Antonio center Victor Wembanyama been to the Spurs this season? Let’s take a look at Wembanyama’s game data from the 2024 NBA regular season to answer that question.

In the 46 games that Victor Wembanyama has played for the San Antonio Spurs in the 2024 NBA regular season, Wembanyama has averaged a massive 53.4 Draftking points a game.

More recently, in the San Antonio Spurs 131-121 win over the Washington Wizards nine days ago, Victor Wembanyama played exceptionally well. More specifically, Wembanyama compiled 31 points, 15 rebounds, four assists, three blocks and two steals in the San Antonio Spurs victory over the Washington Wizards.

Looking closer at the data just presented, in the San Antonio Spurs win over Wizards just mentioned, Wembanyama amassed a whopping 69.3 Draftkings points.

As I noted in the rules section above, selecting the correct player at the captain position for a Draftkings NBA showdown lineup is absolutely vital if you hope to win a large field GPP (guaranteed prize pool) DFS contest.

In my view, Victor Wembanyama is the most likely player to post the most Draftkings points in this NBA regular season game. For that specific reason, I am backing San Antonio Spurs center Victor Wembanyama at the captain position for this one game Draftkings NBA Showdown contest.

Flex Plays

Chris Paul, Point Guard, San Antonio Spurs $6,400

San Antonio point guard Chris Paul has been the leader in the backcourt that the San Antonio Spurs have needed to win games this season. Let’s take a look at the veteran point guard’s recent game data to better shed light on my previous statement.

In the 52 games that point guard Chris Paul has played for the San Antonio Spurs in the 2024 NBA regular season, Paul has averaged 9.2 points, 4.1 rebounds, 8.1 assists, and 1.3 steals a game.

In conclusion, I fully expect Chris Paul to continue his outstanding play in tomorrow night’s NBA regular season game.

Additional flex plays I like to play well in this NBA regular season game (Draftkings price noted): Kevin Durant, Forward (Phoenix Suns) $9,200: Devin Booker, Guard (Phoenix Suns) $9,000: De’Aaron Fox, Guard (San Antonio Spurs) $8,000.

The NBA presents a regular season matchup featuring the Utah Jazz and the Los Angeles Clippers. Let’s take a look at this game from a Draftkings perspective.

Before we dive into the Utah Jazz vs. Los Angeles Clippers game let’s review the rules for Draftkings single game showdown contest.

Draftkings Single Game Showdown Contest Rules

You have $50,000 to utilize on five players from either team. However, one of those players will be designated as your team captain. The captain accumulates 1.5 times the standard fantasy points. Additionally, the captain is 1.5 times the standard cost of the flex position.

The remaining four players in your lineup will receive the standard fantasy points. Having stated that, it is highly important for you to identify the correct player for your captain position if you hope to win a large field DFS GPP (guaranteed prize pool) showdown contest.

If you have additional questions regarding the rules for the single game showdown contest, I recommend that you check out the Draftkings website for more details.

*I recommend that all readers review the starting lineups for both teams prior to setting your DFS lineup for this one game slate.

Here are my Draftkings picks for this evening’s Utah Jazz vs. Los Angeles Clippers matchup.

Draftkings NBA Showdown Picks

Captain-James Harden, Point Guard, Los Angeles Clippers $10,200

Veteran point guard James Harden has established himself as one of the best guards in the National Basketball Association today. Having stated that, how has Harden performed from a statistical perspective? Let’s take a look at Harden’s game data from the 2024 NBA regular season to answer that question.

In the 50 games that James Harden has played for the Los Angeles Clippers in the 2024 NBA regular season, Harden is averaging an impressive 45.4 Draftkings points a game.

It is noteworthy that these two teams met earlier this season. Who prevailed? How did James Harden play in the game? In the Los Angeles Clippers 130-110 win over the Utah Jazz five days ago, Los Angeles point guard James Harden played exceptionally well. More specifically, James Harden amassed 23 points, two rebounds, 17 assists and two steals in the Los Angeles Clippers convincing victory over the Utah Jazz.

Looking closer at the data just presented, in the Los Angeles Clippers win over the Jazz just mentioned, James Harden tallied 55.1 Draftkings points.

As I noted in the rules section above, selecting the correct player at the captain position for a Draftkings NBA showdown lineup is absolutely vital if you hope to win a large field GPP (guaranteed prize pool) DFS contest. Keep that in mind as you construct your lineups for this one game DFS slate.

In summary, I think Los Angeles Clippers guard James Harden is the most likely player to post the most Draftkings points in this evening’s NBA regular season game. For that specific reason, I am backing James Harden at the captain position for this one game Draftkings NBA Showdown contest.

Flex Plays

Walker Kessler, Center, Utah Jazz $8,000

Veteran center Walker Kessler has been a key contributor to the Utah Jazz’s success on the offensive side of the basketball this season.

In the 42 games that Walker Kessler has played for the Utah Jazz in the 2024 NBA regular season, Kessler has averaged a respectable 11.3 points, 11.8 rebounds, 1.5 assists, 2.4 blocks and 0.6 steals a game.

Additional flex plays I like to play well in this evening’s NBA game (Draftkings price noted): Lauri Markkanen, Small Forward (Utah Jazz) $7,800: Ivica Zubac, Center (Los Angeles Clippers) $8,600: Norman Powell, Shooting Guard (Norman Powell) $8,400.

Here are my Draftkings picks for this evening’s Oklahoma City Thunder vs. Minnesota Timberwolves matchup.

Draftkings NBA Showdown Picks

Captain-Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Point Guard, Oklahoma City Thunder $12,000

If the NBA playoffs started today, the Oklahoma City Thunder would be the number one seed in the Western Conference. A big reason why the Thunder have played so well this season is point guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander. Let’s examine Shai Gilgeous-Alexander’s game data from the 2024 NBA regular season to better shed light on my previous statement.

In the 52 games that point guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander has played for the Oklahoma City Thunder in the 2024 NBA regular season, Gilgeous-Alexander is averaging a massive 32.6 points, 5.1 rebounds, 6.1 assists, 1.9 steals, and 1.1 blocks a game.

Last night, in the Oklahoma City Thunder’s win over the Miami Heat, Oklahoma City Thunder point guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander played rather well. Let me be more specific. Gilgeous-Alexander compiled 32 points, five rebounds, nine assists, and two steals in the Oklahoma City Thunder’s victory over the Miami Heat.

Looking closer at the data just presented, in the Thunder’s win over the Miami Heat just mentioned, point guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander amassed a robust 57.3 Draftkings points.

As I noted in the rules section above, selecting the correct player at the captain position for a Draftkings NBA showdown lineup is absolutely vital if you hope to win a large field GPP (guaranteed prize pool) DFS contest.

In my opinion, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is the most likely player to post the most Draftkings points in this evening’s NBA regular season game. With that said, I am backing Oklahoma City Thunder point guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander at the captain position for this one game Draftkings NBA Showdown contest.

Flex Plays

Anthony Edwards, Guard, Minnesota Timberwolves $10,600

In the 53 games that Minnesota guard Anthony Edwards has played for the Minnesota Timberwolves in the 2024 NBA regular season, Edwards is averaging a rather impressive 45.6 Draftkings points a game.

It should be noted that Anthony Edwards has been listed as questionable on the Timberwolves official injury report for this evening’s game. Keep that in mind as you construct your lineups for this DFS contest.

In conclusion, I fully expect Anthony Edwards to continue his outstanding play in this evening’s NBA regular season game.

Additional flex plays I like to play well in this evening’s NBA game (Draftkings price noted): Rudy Gobert, Center (Minnesota Timberwolves) $7,600: Naz Reid, Forward (Minnesota Timberwolves) $8,200: Isaiah Joe, Guard (Oklahoma City Thunder) $4,000.

Having stated that, how has Curry performed from a statistical perspective? Let’s take a look at Curry’s game data from the 2024 NBA regular season to answer that question.

For that specific reason, I am backing Golden State Warriors point guard Stephen Curry at the captain position for this one game Draftkings NBA Showdown contest.

Veteran forward Bobby Portis has undoubtedly been a key contributor to the Milwaukee Bucks overall team achievements this season. Let’s take a look at Portis’s player data from the 2024 NBA regular season to better shed light on my previous statement.

It should also be noted that Milwaukee Bucks power forward Giannis Antetokounmpo will be inactive for tonight’s game due to injury. In my opinion, the loss of Antetokounmpo should open up more offensive opportunities for Bobby Portis in the paint this evening.

If you have additional questions regarding the rules for the single game showdown contest, I recommend that you check out the Draftkings website for more details.

*I recommend that all readers review the starting lineups for both teams prior to setting your DFS lineup for this one game slate.

Here are my Draftkings picks for tonight’s Atlanta Hawks vs. New York Knicks matchup.
