FanDuel DFS Guards
Ben Simmons - PG, PHI vs. IND ($8,700)
I think Russell Westbrook and Ben Simmons stand above the crowd at point guard. The upside of Trae Young can’t be ignored, but I don’t know if I can play a guy on the backend of a back-to-back after playing 42 minutes as not being fully healthy this offseason. If that game gets out of hand, Young may be the first one out of there. As for Ben Simmons, he’s a big mismatch for Malcolm Brogdon and this Pacers interior. Simmons is playing better of late and I expect him to give the Pacers a fit. His price is under $9k on FanDuel and I project 45 fantasy points.
James Harden - SG, HOU vs. ATL ($11,500)
Harden is facing off with a Hawks team that took a 105-104 overtime loss just a night ago. They’ve now traveled from Indiana to Houston after playing 40+ minutes to face off with arguably the most lethal offense in basketball. I expect James Harden to run all over these Hawks and put up 65+ fantasy points. They play at a top 5 pace and give up the second-most open threes in the league. Harden is obviously going to cost you, but he’s tough to fade in this spot on a three-game slate.
Furkan Korkmaz - SG, PHI vs. IND ($3,500)
If Korkmaz is going to play 30 minutes with Josh Richardson out, we have to play him at min-price. There isn’t a ton of value on this slate and we need every little bit of it for Harden and/or Giannis. Korkmaz doesn’t have a huge upside, but he’s safe for 20 fantasy points if the minutes are there.
FanDuel DFS Forwards
Jabari Parker - PF, ATL @ HOU ($7,400)
If there is a Hawks guy I want to trust tonight, it’s Jabari Parker. He played just 31 minutes last night and didn’t play well. This match-up suits him perfectly and he won’t have the same minutes concerns as the guys who just played 40 minutes less than 24 hours ago. Parker has crazy upside and his price isn’t all that much on FanDuel. Hopefully, people take last night as a bad sign for Parker and not a great one, like it really is.
P.J. Tucker - PF, HOU vs. ATL ($5,300)
With Danuel House doubtful and Eric Gordon already out, P.J. Tucker is locked into huge minutes in a fast-paced match-up that’s going to be full of points and peripherals. Tucker is fairly priced on FanDuel and a guy I’d be comfortable deploying in both cash games and tournaments. This is my favorite game on the slate and you want plenty of exposure.
FanDuel DFS Centers
Bismack Biyombo - C, CHA @ MIL ($4,800)
Assuming Cody Zeller sits, Biyombo is a lock and load on FanDuel. He’s been at 30 fantasy points in three of the last four games and is playing substantial minutes. The Bucks play fast and Brook Lopez isn’t the toughest defender in the paint. He’s also one of the worst rebounding big men in the entire league. Biyombo is a safe better for another 30 fantasy points if Zeller is out and his price hasn’t caught up just yet.
