FanDuel DFS Guards
Russell Westbrook (at SAC, $11,000)
Russell Westbrook is easily the best guard option on the board tonight, as he is consistently posting right around 50 fantasy points per game. He also has ridiculous upside, as he has over 60 fantasy points in two of his last 10 games. Against the Golden State Warriors, he posted 50.9 fantasy points in 42 minutes, failing to reach another triple-double by three rebounds. Tonight, he faces the Sacramento Kings, who are one of the quicker teams in the league. They are also one of the worst defensive teams in the league. Westbrook should have absolutely no problem, and if the game surprisingly stays close, he could see over 60 fantasy points yet again.
Kyrie Irving (vs IND, $7,000)
Kyrie Irving's price tag is a little bit low right now. The Indiana Pacers are one of the worst teams in the league against opposing point guards, and Irving has been playing well of recent. He has over 30 fantasy points in three of his last four games. Against the Charlotte Hornets and the Detroit Pistons, he has 40.7 fantasy points on average. He is playing around 30-40 minutes per game, and that is plenty for Irving to dominate on the court. If this game does not get out of hand, Irving will surpass value easily, especially if LeBron James decides to take another game off, but that is very unlikely.
Shelvin Mack (at BOS, $3,500)
Shelvin Mack looked terrible in his last game, which was against the Brooklyn Nets. He did play 25 minutes, but he only posted 7.4 fantasy points. Luckily, Mack gets to play the Boston Celtics tonight, and he should be able to turn things around. Prior to that game against the Nets, he posted over 15 fantasy points in three straight games, which is solid considering his price tag. Against the Portland Trailblazers, he posted 29.6 fantasy points in 24 minutes on the court. He does have great upside. Use him in both 50/50 contests and tournaments.
FanDuel DFS Forwards
Kevin Durant (at SAC, $10,600)
Kevin Durant is playing out of his mind right now. Westbrook is playing well, but Durant, despite losing the game for the Oklahoma City Thunder last night against the Golden State Warriors, has taken the Thunder on his back. He has 59.3 and 59.9 fantasy points in his last two games, which were against the Warriors and the New Orleans Pelicans. Tonight, he should do some serious scoring against the offensive-minded Sacramento Kings. His price tag has come up quite a bit, but he is still worth it for the time being.
Jabari Parker (vs HOU, $5,600)
Jabari Parker struggled in his last game, which was against the Detroit Pistons. Aside from that game, he has over 30 fantasy points in five straight games. Against the Atlanta Hawks, he posted over 45 fantasy points. He has great upside, and he has been very consistent. The Houston Rockets, who Parker faces off against tonight, are absolutely dreadful against opposing power forwards; just ask LaMarcus Aldridge. Parker will likely score over 30 fantasy points and he has the ability to post over 40 fantasy points tonight rather easily. Use him in all formats.
Bojan Bogdanovic (at LAC, $3,500)
Bojan Bogdanovic makes for a decent play tonight against the Los Angeles Clippers. He is definitely more of a tournament option. In his last game, he posted only 9.6 fantasy points in 23 minutes of action. The game prior, he played 38 minutes and posted 22.4 fantasy points. His minutes are far from guaranteed, but he should play more after the Nets' decision to get rid of Joe Johnson. The Clippers are solid defensively, but Bogdanovic may be too cheap to pass up. Regardless, do not use him in 50/50 contests.
FanDuel DFS Centers
DeMarcus Cousins (vs OKC, $10,900)
DeMarcus Cousins has great upside, and he is going to have to play extremely well to keep the Sacramento Kings close to the Oklahoma City Thunder tonight. In his last four games, Cousins has three games over 55 fantasy points. Against the Denver Nuggets, he posted 68 fantasy points in only 39 minutes of action. The Thunder struggle against opposing power forwards and centers, so feel free to fire up Cousins in all formats. He is the best center in the league, if he is being considered a center and not a power forward.
