Later today, the NBA presents Draftkings basketball fans with a regular season matchup featuring the Miami Heat and the Chicago Bulls. Let’s take a look at this game from a DFS perspective.

Before we dive into the Miami Heat vs. Chicago Bulls 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 Miami Heat vs. Chicago Bulls matchup.

Draftkings NBA Showdown Picks

Captain-Tyler Herro, Point Guard, Miami Heat $10,400

Miami Heat point guard Tyler Herro has certainly played a pivotal role in the team’s offensive achievements this season. Let’s examine Herro’s game data from the 2024 NBA regular season to better shed light on my previous statement.

In the 46 games that Tyler Herro has played for the Miami Heat in the 2024 NBA regular season, Herro has averaged a whopping 41.3 Draftkings points a game. It has to be said, those are the type of DFS numbers I need to see from a player that I select at the captain position.

More recently, in the Miami Heat’s 87-82 victory over the Utah Jazz last month, Tyler Herro played exceptionally well. In the Heat’s win over the Jazz, Herro accumulated 23 points, seven rebounds, five assists, one steal and one block.

As I noted in the rules section above, selecting the correct player at the captain position for a Draftkings NBA showdown lineup is absolutely vital if you hope to win a large field GPP (guaranteed prize pool) DFS contest. Keep that in mind as you construct your lineups for this one game DFS slate.

In my opinion, Tyler Herro is the most likely player to post the most Draftkings points in this NBA regular season game. With that said, I am rolling with Miami Heat guard Tyler Herro at the captain position for this one game Draftkings NBA DFS Showdown contest.

Flex Plays

Nikola Vucevic, Center, Chicago Bulls $10,400

Chicago center Nikola Vucevic has been the leader in the paint that the Chicago Bulls have needed to win games this season. Having stated that, how has the talented big man played from a statistical perspective? Let’s review Vucevic’s game data from the 2024 NBA regular season to better shed light on my previous statement.

In the 48 games that Nikola Vucevic has played for the Chicago Bulls in the 2024 NBA regular season, Vucevic has averaged a rather impressive 42.2 Draftkings points a game.

In conclusion, I fully expect Chicago Bulls center Nikola Vucevic to continue his outstanding play in tonight’s NBA regular season game.

Additional flex plays I like to play well in this today’s NBA game (Draftkings price noted): Josh Giddey, Point Guard (Chicago Bulls) $8,800: Nikola Jovic, Power Forward (Miami Heat) $6,600: Lonzo Ball, Point Guard (Chicago Bulls) $6,400.
