FanDuel DFS Guards
Jimmy Butler - SG, MIA @ PHI ($9,600)
Jimmy Butler is going back to Philadelphia and you know he’s going to give them a bit extra. Things didn’t end on bad terms like they did Minnesota, but Butler is one of the more revenge-stricken dudes in the league and he’s not afraid to broadcast it. The Sixers have a solid defense, but Butler can put up 50 against anyone and Josh Richardson has been injured anyway. Butler is expensive on FanDuel, but he’s consistently putting up 45+ fantasy points. I expect him to do it again tonight and he won’t be popular.
Aaron Holiday - PG, IND vs. ORL ($4,000)
Malcolm Brogdon is listed as doubtful for this game, so we can keep on firing Aaron Holiday. Holiday has been amazing with Brogdon out, averaging 30 fantasy points and getting up to 48 last game. The Magic aren’t an intimidating defense and Holiday should continue demolishing value at just $4,000.
FanDuel DFS Forwards
Giannis Antetokounmpo - SF, MIL vs. DET ($12,900)
Giannis is insanely expensive on FanDuel, but it’s hard to argue with the production. The Pistons play faster with Blake Griffin and don’t have anyone to stick Antetokounmpo. They also lack rim protection, as that’s certainly not the expertise of Drummond. Expect another 60 fantasy points with a real upside for 75. Antetokounmpo is averaging close to two fantasy points per minute, which is other-worldly. This game should stay competitive and I like targeting it quite a bit.
Christian Wood - PF, DET @ MIL ($4,000)
Talking about per-minute monsters, Christian Wood laughs at the field. In the last two games, Wood has played just 12 and 18 minutes. He put up 34 fantasy points in both games. He played just 12 minutes on the back to back last night and his upside is monstrous if he sees 20 minutes. At his price, it’s hard for Christian Wood to go wrong in this spot.
FanDuel DFS Centers
Mo Bamba - C, ORL @ IND ($3,500)
If I’m paying up, Gobert is my favorite. However, with both Aaron Gordon and Nikola Vucevic out, Mo Bamba is going to see substantial minutes here. He does have his playing time monitored, but 20-22 minutes would be plenty at minimum price. The Pacers play fast and are the sixth-worst rebounding team in the league. Bamba is going to put up a fantasy point per minute here. Make sure Bamba is starting and deploy him as a lock of a value play.
