March 22, 2025 10:00 pm EDT
This Saturday night, NBA presents Draftkings basketball fans with a regular season matchup featuring the Sacramento Kings and the Milwaukee Bucks. Let’s take a look at this game from a DFS perspective.
Before we dive into the Sacramento Kings and the Milwaukee Bucks game let’s review the rules for the Draftkings single game showdown contest.
Draftkings Single Game Showdown Contest Rules
You have $50,000 to utilize on five players from either team. However, one of those players will be designated as your team captain. The captain accumulates 1.5 times the standard fantasy points. Additionally, the captain is 1.5 times the standard cost of the flex position.
The remaining four players in your lineup will receive the standard fantasy points. Having stated that, it is highly important for you to identify the correct player for your captain position if you hope to win a large field DFS GPP (guaranteed prize pool) showdown contest.
If you have additional questions regarding the rules for the single game showdown contest, I recommend that you check out the Draftkings website for more details.
*I recommend that all readers review the starting lineups for both teams prior to setting your DFS lineup for this one game slate.
Here are my Draftkings picks for this evening’s Milwaukee Bucks vs. Sacramento Kings matchup.
Draftkings NBA Showdown Picks
Captain-Giannis Antetokounmpo, Forward, Milwaukee Bucks $12,800
Veteran forward Giannis Antetokounmpo has certainly been the driving force behind the Milwaukee Bucks success this season. Having stated that, how has the talented forward played from a statistical perspective? Let’s take a look at Antetokounmpo’s relevant game data from the 2024 NBA regular season to answer that question.
In the 57 games that Antetokounmpo has played for the Milwaukee Bucks in the 2024 NBA regular season, Antetokounmpo is averaging a massive 30.2 points, 11.9 rebounds, 6.1 assists, 1.3 blocks and 0.8 steals a game.
Looking at the data just presented more closely, in the 57 games that Antetokounmpo has played this season, Antetokounmpo has compiled a 59.9% field goal percentage, a 17.8% three-point percentage and a 60.5% free throw percentage.
More recently, in the Milwaukee Bucks 118-89 victory over the Los Angeles Lakers two days ago, Milwaukee forward Giannis Antetokounmpo played exceptionally. Let me be more specific. Antetokounmpo amassed 28 points, seven rebounds, four assists, one block and two steals in the Milwaukee Bucks win over the Los Angeles Lakers.
It is noteworthy that the Milwaukee Bucks have officially listed Giannis Antetokounmpo as questionable for this evening’s game. Keep that in mind as you construct your lineups.
In my opinion, Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo is the most likely player to post the most Draftkings points in this NBA regular season game. With that said, I am rolling with Giannis Antetokounmpo at the captain position for this one game Draftkings NBA Showdown contest.
Flex Plays
Damian Lillard, Guard, Milwaukee Bucks $9,400
Point guard Damian Lillard has been the floor general that the Milwaukee Bucks have needed to win games this season. Let’s dive into Lillard’s relevant player data to better shed light on my previous statement.
In the 58 games that point guard Damian Lillard has played for the Milwaukee Bucks in the 2024 NBA regular season, Lillard is averaging 24.9 points, 4.7 rebounds, 7.1 assists and 1.2 steals a game.
In conclusion, I fully expect Milwaukee Bucks guard Damian Lillard to continue his outstanding play in tonight’s matchup with the Sacramento Kings.
Additional flex plays I like to play well in tonight’s NBA regular season game (Draftkings price noted): Zach LaVine, Guard (Sacramento Kings) $9,600: DeMar DeRozan, Small Forward (Sacramento Kings) $9,200.
