DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Helper: Tuesday 2/2/21

Russell Westbrook ($9,100) -- In a true showdown of offensive point guards, Westbrook stands to benefit, as Portland gives up 54.6 DraftKings points per game to point guards, trailing only -- you guessed it -- the Wizards. After all, while both point guards are in great spots, Beal is enjoying a career year, averaging a league-best 34.9 points per game (4.0 better than the next-closest player) on a 36.6% usage rate -- 2.5% higher than a year ago -- that has ballooned to an even higher 38.3% over the last five games. The swingman has seen the court for at least 25 minutes in three of the last four, and it was only four games ago that he broke out for 21 points and 28 DraftKings points. The high over/under is one thing, yes, but the Blazers are just average against power forwards, while they rank 25th in both three-point makes and attempts against per game. Although he has fallen off the map of late, it wasn't long ago that he produced 28.75 DraftKings points across 30 minutes, and before that he was rocking games north of 40. While the likes of Westbrook and Beal are a big commitment, Wagner should see 20-plus minutes and provide the salary relief you need for the 60-point upside at the guard spots.
