David West is one of the best value plays on the board tonight. The Spurs are sitting their 5 best players tonight, leaving West plenty of playing time to be had. At minimum price, West only needs 17.5 fantasy points to reach value. Lock him in at Power Forward tonight and expect him to reach the mid 20’s in fantasy points tonight.
Now I know that Cousins should be in for a big night against the Suns, but I want to stay away from the obvious best center tonight and give you guys Jokic as my center play of the day. Also, I like Harden more than Cousins as my star tonight and I wasn’t able to get both of them in the lineup tonight. Jokic is in great form and has a great matchup tonight against the Lakers. He only needs 31 fantasy points tonight to reach value and has shown he can easily do that. Another great thing about Jokic is his huge ceiling. He can score 40+ on any night. Along with his consistent production, Jokic is a great cash game play tonight.
Power Forward is a very slim position on this small slate tonight. I was going to put up Kevin Love, but the possibility of the Cavs resting players tonight has steered me away from him for now until I hear more updates. I’m going to give you the other PF I’m putting in who Derrick Favors. Favors is coming off of a great game against Houston last night and is the most consistent guy at Power Forward tonight. He seems to be a lock for 30 fantasy points every time he goes out on the court. He needs 36.5 fantasy points tonight to reach value and I think he will be hovering around that total by the end of the night. Lock Favors into your cash games tonight with confidence.
Well, Richardson sure played like crap yesterday. On to a new day and a much better slate. My small forward pick for tonight is Andrew Wiggins. He has been playing very well recently and is a focal point in the T-Wolves scoring offense. He draws a great matchup against the Kings who are 23rd in the NBA against opposing small forwards. This game has a huge over/under of 223.5. This is great to see when your picking a player like Wiggins who really likes to score. I expect Wiggins to reach his value mark of 34.5 Fanduel Points tonight and you should too. Plug him in.
My play of the day yesterday, Ricky Rubio was on fire! He was able to lead his team and keep that game against the Warriors close for the full 48 minutes of gameplay. Chalk that down as the most successful play of the day since I started doing this about a few weeks ago. Now we are onto this small four game slate where there is slim value out there. I’m going to give you one of, if not, my favorite value play of the night tonight, Josh Richardson. He comes off the bench but sees 25 – 32 minutes a night. He is playing a terrible Pelicans defense who is 26th in the league against opposing shooting guards. Richardson is just $4,400 and needs 22 fantasy points to reach value tonight. Expect that from him tonight with a chance to hit the 30’s. Please use him tonight!
