FanDuel DFS Guards
Mike Conley - PG, vs BKN ($7,800)
I mean this is easy, right? Mike Conley is one of the better shooters on the Grizzlies, not to mention that Memphis should dominate this game. His price is fairly low given what he can produce, meaning he should be in your roster regardless of what you decide to do with the other point guard slot. Find value elsewhere and get Conley in your lineup. Three's galore, rebounds a plenty, need I say more?
Marcus Smart - SG, at LAC ($4,900)
This is a tougher pick because of Marcus Smart being a defensive specialist. He hustles for rebounds, loose balls, and anything to help Boston win games, even if that means riding the bench. Monday, this will not be the case so do not worry. In fact, Avery Bradley missing out on this game is going to open up plenty of minutes for Smart. He was able to produce throughout the Bradley injury, but upon his return has slowly drifted downwards in fantasy production. Look for that to change.
Also Consider: Patrick Beverley - PG/SG, at SA ($5,900)
FanDuel DFS Forwards
Lance Thomas - SF, at ORL ($4,300)
Lance Thomas is one of those very streaky players that always produces when given enough time. That little zero in his points column last game should be overlooked because of his defensive focus against the Warriors yesterday. He did manage to get seven rebounds, giving him plenty of upside against a lower quality opponent in Orlando. Thomas will continue to see close to thirty minutes a game given his ability to keep the ball moving and make smart plays. His price is almost unsurpassable given his potential.
Al-Farouq Aminu - PF, at MIN ($5,400)
You are probably hating me right now. First Thomas, now Al-Farouq Aminu? Yep. He went bananas last game and I expect it to carry over. Aminu is one of those players that is able to carry momentum across games, making this matchup highly favorable. Seeing how Aminu is defense first, he should have no problem containing his matchup, regardless of who it is. On the other side of the ball, Aminu has been starting to hit his shots, contested or open. This is a huge step for Aminu who couldn't hit a three if it was lined up on a tee last year. Portland's role players have been stepping up, make sure to capitalize in DFS.
Also Consider: Justin Anderson - SF, vs MIL ($3,800)
FanDuel DFS Centers
Myles Turner - C, at CHA ($6,400)
Myles Turner showed off some serious accuracy and vision against the Spurs, but struggled against Dwight Howard and the Hawks. Turner should be in for a nice rebound, and rebounding game for that matter, against the weaker frontcourt of Hornets. Turner's ability to space the floor and knock down his shots make him a threat on a nightly basis. With his price at a modest level, Turner can not only exceed his projection, but exceed the production level of most of the other centers. Turner is a lock for tonight.
Also Consider: Jusuf Nurkic - C, at MIN ($5,900)
