DFS players to look out for Week 7, Day 3

As we roll into week 7 of the NBA, things are starting to settle down a bit in the East, with the exception of the underperforming Boston Celtics. The Washington Wizards are having a bit of a resurgence and are currently on a 2 game winning streak after starting the season horribly. The Western conference is still a huge mess. The difference between the team at the top and the team just above the last place is just 4 games. The only team that is really bad is the Phoenix Suns who have embraced the bottom of the league.

There are a total of 10 games this Thursday morning and one to watch out for will be the New Orleans Pelicans taking on a much improved Washington Wizards, the Minnesota Timberwolves (sans Jimmy Butler) facing the San Antonio Spurs and the Portland Trailblazers face an improving Orlando Magic team.

Let us look at the players that are going to be top DFS picks for the games tomorrow.

Honorable mentions:

PG - Kemba Walker (Charlotte Hornets), Ben Simmons (Philadelphia 76ers), Russell Westbrook (Oklahoma City Thunder)

SG - Jimmy Butler (Philadephia 76ers), James Harden (Houston Rockets)

SF - Khris Middleton (Milwaukee Bucks), Paul George (Oklahoma City Thunder)

PF - Tobias Harris ( Los Angeles Clippers), LaMarcus Aldridge ( San Antonio Spurs)

C - Karl Anthony Towns (Minesotta Timberwolves), Joel Embiid ( Philadephia 76ers)

1. PG - Spencer Dinwiddie (Brooklyn Nets):

Ever since Caris LeVert went down with his injury, there has been no looking back for Dinwiddie and his partner in crime, D'Angleo Russell. Though Russell has a bigger chance at exploding at any given night, Spencer Dinwiddie is the one who has been consistently putting up good numbers at a high efficiency this season. Over the last seven games, Dinwiddie has been averaging 19.7 points per game, with 6.7 assists per game and only 2 turnovers per game.

Spencer Dinwiddie is taking his game to the next level

The Nets play the Utah Jazz, who are currently languishing in 14th place and this matchup seems favorable to Dinwiddie, who would look to keep his form going.

2. SG - Tim Hardaway Jr. (New York Knicks):

I have skipped a bunch of All-Stars here like James Harden, CJ McCollum, Devin Booker among others since their matches aren't as favorable or they aren't in form. Tim Hardaway Jr. is the only consistent player for the Knicks that is getting to the shoot the ball and more often that not, scores it as well. The Knicks take on the 76ers, who would be a tough task for the Knicks and almost impossible without Hardaway Jr.

Tim Hardaway Jr. - The Shining Light of New York

He has been averaging over 23 points per game this season, on 41% shooting. He doesn't get you much of any other stats but he is a volume shooter and is scoring really well too, given that his career average is 12.7 points per game. He is having a breakout season and should be rostered on your team.

3. SF - Luka Doncic (Dallas Mavericks):

We all knew Luka was good, we did not know he was this good! Luka Doncic has been a revelation this season, carrying the Mavericks to a .500 record as of now. Their gamble seems to have paid off as Luka seems to be the frontrunner for the Rookie of the Year award this season. He is a 6 foot 7 inch small forward, playing as a guard for the Mavericks.

Luka Doncic already seems like a franchise star for the Mavericks

Doncic has been averaging 19.1 points on 45.3 percent shooting, 6.6 rebounds, and 4.3 assists per game. The Mavericks are on a 7-3 run and Doncic is one of the main reasons why. He is a player you should definitely have on your roster as the Mavericks face the Houston Rockets who have been very shaky on the defensive end of the floor.

4. PF - Giannis Antetokoumpo (Milwaukee Bucks):

I am overlooking Tobias Harris for Giannis since Harris faces off against a horrible Suns team who do not look like they will win anytime soon, which would reduce the amount of court time Harris will see. Giannis, on the other hand, faces a Bulls team which can be a bit competitive on their day. Also Giannis is a triple-double threat on a nightly basis and can explode at any given time.

Giannis Antetokoumpo has led the Bucks to the 2nd spot in the Eastern Conference

Antetokoumpo has been averaging almost 27 points and 13 rebounds per game, with almost 6 assists to his name. Although his assist numbers are down in a faster-paced offense under the new coach, Mike Budeholzer, he is still the go-to player for the Bucks and can explode on any given night. He is a must-have player in any team.

5. C - Anthony Davis (New Orleans Pelicans):

Anthony Davis is a player you ignore at your own peril. He is one of the frontrunners for the regular season MVP candidates. He has really been giving it his all this season for the Pelicans, averaging 27 points and almost 13 rebounds per game, to go with more than 2 blocks per game too.

He has taken it upon himself to lead the New Orleans Pelicans to glory. He has consistenly upped his game to a new level and against the Wizards' backcourt, without Dwight Howard, he will probably have a great night of basketball and will end up having a huge night. He is a sure fire player that you need to keep in your team.
