Cade Cunningham Leads DFS Guard Picks While Ja'Kobe Walter and Scottie Barnes Offer Value

Context Sunday’s NBA DFS slate features two playoff games: Detroit at Orlando and Toronto at Cleveland. Players are priced on DraftKings with a $300K total salary cap. Guard, forward, and center positions each have stud and value options.

Key Facts Cade Cunningham’s salary is $10,700, which is $2,300 higher than the next guard in the matchup. He has posted fantasy scores of 59.5, 59, 46.8, 43.8, 53.5 and 51.2 across the series. Ja'Kobe Walter scored 40.2 fantasy points in Game 6 and 37.2 in Game 5 while priced at $4,900. Scottie Barnes recorded 66.8 fantasy points in Game 6 and has reached at least 43 fantasy points in every game of the series except one, at a $9,200 salary.

What It Means Cunningham’s premium price reflects his role as Detroit’s primary offensive engine, delivering reliable point totals that justify the extra cost. Walter’s back‑to‑back 37‑plus point performances make him a high‑upside value pick if Brandon Ingram remains sidelined. Barnes’ consistent box‑score stuffing provides a stable forward option despite playing on the road in Game 7.

Watch for any late injury updates that could shift Walter’s usage or affect Cunningham’s shot volume in the decisive Game 7.
