Nikola Jokic is Questionable and Paul George has already been ruled out. Where do we turn with so much production on the bench? Here are the NBA DFS top plays we can invest in for our lineups on FanDuel and DraftKings! Nikola Jokic (C)This entire Showdown slate (and NBA DFS in general tonight) hangs on the news of whether or not Jokic will play against the Clippers. He is listed as Questionable for the dreaded Injury Management, stemming from a recent wrist injury he suffered. At least for Showdown lineups, we will know in advance whether or not to include him. If he is in, he is the automatic, don’t-think-about-it play at MVP. Jokic averages 1.5 fantasy points per minute against the Clippers this year and has a literal 100-point upside that he has already shown this year. The Clippers and Ivica Zubac have been a bottom-10 team against centers all season long. Kawhi Leonard (SF/PF)When Paul George does not play this season, Kawhi Leonard basically plays at an MVP-level performance. Without PG-13, Kawhi averages 26.8 points, six rebounds, four assists, and 2.8 steals per 36 minutes on the floor. He also puts up a 29% usage rate and becomes the clear focal point of the offense. Add in the fact that shooter Luke Kennard is also out tonight. Norman Powell (SG/SF) With no George and Kennard tonight, it basically frees up a boatload of minutes for Norman Powell who has been on fire lately. Powell averages 31.4 fantasy points over his last three games, but more importantly, he is seeing 29 minutes on the court during that time. He will assuredly get at least 30 minutes of playing time tonight even if he doesn’t start. When Kennard and George are out, Powell actually has the highest usage rate on the team (28.9%, slightly better than Leonard) and averages 1.11 fantasy points per minute. Aaron Gordon (PF)In just 24 minutes per game against the Clippers this season, Gordon has torched them for 38 fantasy points per game. That’s partly due to the fact that the Clippers are a bottom-10 team against power forwards this year, but also because LA has fallen to 21st in net rating. Over the last five games, the Clippers are 21st in rebounds allowed and 28th in opponents’ field goal percentage. If there are more shots and rebound opportunities tonight, Gordon will be a primary beneficiary.   Latest Features ~/AAAHagA~/RgRlpCggP0R6aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZmFudGFzeWFsYXJtLmNvbS9hcnRpY2xlcy9wcm9tb3Rpb25zL3RoZS11bHRpbWF0ZS1ndWlkZS10by10aGlzLXdlZWtzLXNwb3J0c2Jvb2stcHJvbW9zLXNpZ24tdXAtYm9udXNlcy8xNDA3ODJXBXNwY2V1QgpjtiCjwWPyJhlmUht0cmlzdHJhbWJhbGR3aW45MkBnbWFpbC5jb21YBAAAAUQ~ The Ultimate Guide To This Week's Sportsbook Promos & Sign-up Bonuses [Read more >](~/AAAHagA~/RgRlpCggP0R6aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZmFudGFzeWFsYXJtLmNvbS9hcnRpY2xlcy9wcm9tb3Rpb25zL3RoZS11bHRpbWF0ZS1ndWlkZS10by10aGlzLXdlZWtzLXNwb3J0c2Jvb2stcHJvbW9zLXNpZ24tdXAtYm9udXNlcy8xNDA3ODJXBXNwY2V1QgpjtiCjwWPyJhlmUht0cmlzdHJhbWJhbGR3aW45MkBnbWFpbC5jb21YBAAAAUQ~) ~/AAAHagA~/RgRlpCggP0SOaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZmFudGFzeWFsYXJtLmNvbS9hcnRpY2xlcy9uZmwvZmFudGFzeS1mb290YmFsbC1wb2RjYXN0cy9jYXNoLWl0LXBvZGNhc3QtYmV0dGluZy10aGUtMjAyMi1uZmwtcGxheW9mZnMtd2lsZC1jYXJkLXJvdW5kLWdhbWVzLzE0MDc4N1cFc3BjZXVCCmO2IKPBY_ImGWZSG3RyaXN0cmFtYmFsZHdpbjkyQGdtYWlsLmNvbVgEAAABRA~~ Betting the 2022 NFL Playoffs Wild Card Round Games [Read more >](~/AAAHagA~/RgRlpCggP0SOaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZmFudGFzeWFsYXJtLmNvbS9hcnRpY2xlcy9uZmwvZmFudGFzeS1mb290YmFsbC1wb2RjYXN0cy9jYXNoLWl0LXBvZGNhc3QtYmV0dGluZy10aGUtMjAyMi1uZmwtcGxheW9mZnMtd2lsZC1jYXJkLXJvdW5kLWdhbWVzLzE0MDc4N1cFc3BjZXVCCmO2IKPBY_ImGWZSG3RyaXN0cmFtYmFsZHdpbjkyQGdtYWlsLmNvbVgEAAABRA~~) ~/AAAHagA~/RgRlpCggP0STaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZmFudGFzeWFsYXJtLmNvbS9hcnRpY2xlcy9uYmEvcHJpemVwaWNrcy9wcml6ZXBpY2tzLW5iYS10b3AtcGlja3MtamFudWFyeS0xMy1uYWppLW1hcnNoYWxsLWxvb2tzLXRvLXN0YXktaG90LWFnYWluc3QtdGhlLXBpc3RvbnMvMTQwNzg2VwVzcGNldUIKY7Ygo8Fj8iYZZlIbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luOTJAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAFE PrizePicks NBA Top Picks: Naji Marshall Looks to Stay Hot Against the Pistons [Read more >](~/AAAHagA~/RgRlpCggP0STaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZmFudGFzeWFsYXJtLmNvbS9hcnRpY2xlcy9uYmEvcHJpemVwaWNrcy9wcml6ZXBpY2tzLW5iYS10b3AtcGlja3MtamFudWFyeS0xMy1uYWppLW1hcnNoYWxsLWxvb2tzLXRvLXN0YXktaG90LWFnYWluc3QtdGhlLXBpc3RvbnMvMTQwNzg2VwVzcGNldUIKY7Ygo8Fj8iYZZlIbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luOTJAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAFE) ~/AAAHagA~/RgRlpCggP0R3aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZmFudGFzeWFsYXJtLmNvbS9hcnRpY2xlcy9uZmwvZmFudGFzeS1mb290YmFsbC1tYXRjaHVwcy9uZmwtcGxheW9mZnMtd2lsZC1jYXJkLXJvdW5kLW1hdGNoLXVwLXJlcG9ydC8xNDA3NTJXBXNwY2V1QgpjtiCjwWPyJhlmUht0cmlzdHJhbWJhbGR3aW45MkBnbWFpbC5jb21YBAAAAUQ~ NFL Playoffs Wild Card Round Match-up Report [Read more >](~/AAAHagA~/RgRlpCggP0R3aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZmFudGFzeWFsYXJtLmNvbS9hcnRpY2xlcy9uZmwvZmFudGFzeS1mb290YmFsbC1tYXRjaHVwcy9uZmwtcGxheW9mZnMtd2lsZC1jYXJkLXJvdW5kLW1hdGNoLXVwLXJlcG9ydC8xNDA3NTJXBXNwY2V1QgpjtiCjwWPyJhlmUht0cmlzdHJhbWJhbGR3aW45MkBnbWFpbC5jb21YBAAAAUQ~)   Follow us on Twitter Questions?
