FanDuel DFS Guards
Russell Westbrook - PG, vs POR ($12,400)
On a short, three-game slate, it is important to roster the best fantasy players. Tonight, that is Russell Westbrook. He posted over 70 fantasy points in his last game, and he has over 50 fantasy points in four of his last six contests. His price tag is high, but he is worth every penny. Do not hesitate to roster Westbrook in both 50/50 contests and tournaments tonight against the Portland Trailblazers. This should be a very high-scoring affair, and it would be wise for fantasy owners to get a lot of exposure to it.
Victor Oladipo - SG, vs POR ($5,700)
Victor Oladipo is worth consideration tonight in tournaments. He has not been consistent, but his price tag is low and his upside is great. In his last four games, he has over 30 fantasy points in two of them. The Portland Trailblazers, as previously mentioned, are going to push the pace of this game, and it should end to to be a shootout. As long as Russell Westbrook shares the ball every now and again, Oladipo should have one of his better outings.
Also Consider: Raymond Felton - PG, at BOS ($4,700)
FanDuel DFS Forwards
Jae Crowder - SF, vs LAC ($6,500)
Jae Crowder is one of the best forward options on the board tonight. That said, the forward position is rather weak. Crowder has over 25 fantasy points in seven consecutive games, and he posted over 30 fantasy points in four of his last six contests. Against the Houston Rockets, Crowder posted over 40 fantasy points, so his upside is also there. Roster him in both 50/50 contests and tournaments tonight against the Los Angeles Clippers.
Bojan Bogdanovic - SF, vs TOR ($4,300)
Bojan Bogdanovic is one of the better salary relief options on the board tonight, as he has over 20 fantasy points in four of his last five games, and his price tag is low. He is very likely going to hit value, so roster him in both 50/50 contests and tournaments. His low price tag makes rostering Russell Westbrook much easier. He is playing around 25-30 minutes per game, and for his price tag, it does not get much better. The Toronto Raptors are solid defensively, but there is too much value in this recommendation to pass on it.
Also Consider: Maurice Harkless - SF, at OKC ($3,800)
FanDuel DFS Centers
Mason Plumlee - C, at OKC ($7,000)
Mason Plumlee is the best center option on the board tonight. He gets a great game against the uptempo Oklahoma City Thunder, and he should at least hit value. In his last two contests, he struggled, but he should bounce back nicely. Plumlee has great upside, and he is generally rather consistent. Roster him in both 50/50 contests and tournaments.
Also Consider: Steven Adams - C, vs POR ($6,100)
