DraftKings: 3 NBA daily fantasy sleepers for March 2
David Nwaba ($5,400)
Friday night’s matchup between the Chicago Bulls and Dallas Mavericks is one most people will probably try to skip (even if you have NBA League Pass). The only big reason to watch this game is to scout out how some of the younger guys in the league. One of those guys (though not the youngest by any stretch) is David Nwaba.
Nwaba has had an up-and-down season so far for the Bulls, sometimes not even taking a single shot. His minutes also heavily fluctuate, sometimes due to injury and other times seemingly for no reason. But recently, over the month of February, Nwaba has seen his minutes rocket up to over 30 per game thanks to his promotion into a starting role.
On top of the increase in minutes, Nwaba seems to never take a bad shot in his life. His shooting percentage over the past four games is 65.6 percent. Sometimes this is due to him only taking a couple of shots in a game, but even when he’s asked to take more shots, he comes through at an incredibly efficient rate.

Considering where the Bulls play him, Nwaba has been a solid rebounder, averaging 7.5 boards per game in the last four games. Nwaba is both on a hot streak shooting the ball and playing extensive minutes. Hopefully both of those trends will continue against a tanking Mavericks team.
