FanDuel DFS Guards

Reggie Jackson - PG, at GSW ($7,000)

Reggie Jackson struggled in his last game, which was against the Sacramento Kings, posting under 25 fantasy points in 31 minutes on court. However, he posted over 34 fantasy points in five consecutive games prior to that performance, and he is very likely going to hit value tonight against the Golden State Warriors. The Warriors are one of the faster teams in the league, and that should benefit Jackson's overall fantasy performance. He has been great since playing over 30 minutes per game. Roster him in all leagues.

Dwyane Wade - SG, at NYK ($6,900)

Dwyane Wade has been dealing with a nagging injury of recent, but he is probable to start tonight against the New York Knicks. The Knicks are one of the worst defensive teams in the league, and Wade will look to make an impact in his first game since Monday. With over 35 fantasy points in two straight games now, it would not be surprising to see Wade extend that streak. He is better suited for tournaments, but he can be used in cash games if necessary.

Also Consider: Rajon Rondo - PG, at NYK ($4,400)

FanDuel DFS Forwards

Julius Randle - PF, at SAS ($6,600)

Julius Randle is a great, high-upside tournament option tonight against the San Antonio Spurs. The Spurs are one of the best defensive teams in the league, but Randle is so athletic that he should still be able to score down low. He has over 35 fantasy points in two of his last four games, and against the Memphis Grizzlies - another solid defensive team - he posted over 50 fantasy points in 37 minutes. The upside is there, but he is just not consistent. Roster him in tournaments, not 50/50 contests.

Tobias Harris - PF, at GSW ($6,000)

If a cash game power forward option in on the shopping list, look no further than Tobias Harris. He has over 30 fantasy points in four of his last five games, and against the Sacramento Kings, he posted 29.6 fantasy points in 40 minutes. He is going to continue to play big minutes for the Detroit Pistons, and he should be able to at least hit value against the uptempo Golden State Warriors. The flashy Harris from last season is gone. He is a very consistent, reliable fantasy option now. Roster him in 50/50 contests, but there are better tournament options.

Also Consider: Bojan Bogdanovic - SF, vs NOP ($4,400)

FanDuel DFS Centers

Myles Turner - C, at DEN ($7,000)

Myles Turner has over 50 fantasy points in one of his last two games. Against the Orlando Magic, he also posted over 40 fantasy points in 31 minutes. Of recent, Turner has been on a tear, but only in half of his games. He is a very unreliable fantasy option right now, but that is not necessarily a bad thing for tournaments. Tonight, he gets a great matchup against the Denver Nuggets, one of the worst defensive teams in the league against opposing centers. Turner is a very athletic center with great ability to score. It would be surprising if tonight was not one of his better outings.

Also Consider: Brook Lopez - C, vs NOP ($7,000)
