FantasyLabs Reports NBA DFS Projections for Saturday Slate

Josh Giddey posted a triple-double on Friday, racking up 58.5 DraftKings points on 15 points, 14 assists, and 10 rebounds to help the Chicago Bulls beat the Atlanta Hawks.

Heading into a five-game slate on Saturday, FantasyLabs reported that Chicago, Cleveland, Memphis, Miami, and New Orleans are all playing on the second night of back-to-back contests after competing in NBA Cup games on Friday. Giddey brings the top Plus/Minus projection at point guard on the slate due to a salary of $7,700, which sits lower than other top options.

Chicago’s matchup against the Minnesota Timberwolves holds the second-highest point total on the slate. Daniss Jenkins enters at $5,700 with the third-highest projected Plus/Minus at point guard, coming off three consecutive games with 20 or more points for the Detroit Pistons.

James Harden costs $6,900 as the Cleveland Cavaliers host the Dallas Mavericks, coming off a 20-point, eight-assist performance against Miami on Friday. Jordan Poole carries a $4,100 salary with the highest Plus/Minus projection among point guards under $5,000, positioned behind Jeremiah Fears if Dejounte Murray misses a second straight game due to an ankle injury and trade request.

Donovan Mitchell leads shooting guard projections at $8,100, having produced over 40 DraftKings points in six of his last seven games. Norman Powell costs $6,000 with the highest Plus/Minus projection on the entire slate, though his availability remains uncertain after returning from a shoulder injury to score 33 points on Friday.

Cooper Flagg anchors the small forward position at $10,200 with the top median, ceiling, and floor projections by a wide margin.

Cameron Boozer stands at $8,000 with the second-highest projections at power forward behind Giannis Antetokounmpo, who leads the position at $11,500. Boozer has posted over 35 DraftKings points in three straight games for the Memphis Grizzlies.

Isaiah Stewart is priced at $4,000 to help cover frontcourt minutes if Zach Edey and Quinten Post remain sidelined for a second straight day. Nikola Jokic leads the center position at $11,700 against a New Orleans defense that has allowed the most DraftKings points per game to centers this season.
