DraftKings’ main slate for Monday starts at 7:00 PM EST and features four games. DraftKings continues to offer huge contests for DFS players, and below, I dive into two of my favorite bargain plays for this slate.

SG/SF, Moses Moody, Golden State Warriors vs. Miami Heat, $4,000
Moody has been putting up solid numbers as a starter for the Warriors as of late, scoring 23.5 FPTS in 25.7 minutes per game in his last three. The veteran has been red-hot from deep during this stretch, shooting 65% from beyond the arc and knocking down at least four three-pointers in each of these past three starts. Tonight, De’Anthony Melton (knee) will be out, guaranteeing Moody 25-30 minutes and the Heat are in town, who lead the league in pace this season.
While Miami ranks seventh in defensive rating, the club’s fast pace makes this a solid spot for outside shooters, with the Heat allowing the 10th-most made three-pointers (13.8) on the fourth-most attempts per game (40.0). This game’s total is the highest on the slate by 12 points at 239.5 points on DraftKings Sportsbook and Moody should top 20 FPTS for the fourth straight game in this environment.
SF/PF, Ron Holland, Detroit Pistons vs. Boston Celtics, $4,100
Holland has taken on a bigger role off the bench for the Pistons recently. With 23.2 minutes per game and a 19.8% usage rate in his last six, Holland is averaging 23.8 FPTS per game during this span. The wing has racked up multiple stocks in four of these games and Holland should continue to see 20-25 minutes in tonight’s battle with the Celtics.
Boston and Detroit are the top two seeds in the Eastern Conference, and the Pistons are only favored by 3.5 points on DraftKings Sportsbook for this matchup. Holland is generating 1.0 FPTS per minute in the new year and he is a low-owned punt play that should exceed five-times value in this setting.
UPDATE: Holland has been downgraded to questionable with an illness.
