FanDuel DFS Guards
Kyrie Irving - PG, at MIN ($9,000)
Kyrie Irving is the best point guard option available tonight. In fact, he should easy outscore all other point guard options, but he is also a little bit more expensive than most point guard options. The Minnesota Timberwolves are going to push the pace of this game forward, and that should only benefit Irving. He has over 40 fantasy points in two of his last three games, and it would be surprising if that streak ends tonight. Roster him in both 50/50 contests and tournaments without hesitation.
Michael Carter-Williams - SG, vs TOR ($4,600)
The Chicago Bulls are currently dealing with quite a few injuries, so Michael Carter-Williams is likely going to be seeing around 30 minutes on the court tonight. In his last game, he posted over 25 fantasy points in 30 minutes. His price tag is very reasonable, and while the Toronto Raptors are good defensively, it would be very unwise not to roster the Bulls point guard tonight. He is very likely going to hit value, and he opens up some salary cap for a couple more expensive options.
Also Consider: Iman Shumpert - SG, at MIN ($3,900)
FanDuel DFS Forwards
LeBron James - SF, at MIN ($11,500)
On a short, three-game slate, it is important to roster the best fantasy options - LeBron James is that fantasy option tonight. He has over 45 fantasy points in 10 of his last 11 contests. The Minnesota Timberwolves are not one of the better defensive teams in the league. In fact, the Timberwolves are likely going to push the pace of this game forward. If it keeps close, James is going to flourish. He has great upside, and he is very consistent. Roster him in all leagues.
Bobby Ports - PF, vs TOR ($3,600)
Bobby Portis is going to benefit from the Chicago Bulls multiple injuries tonight. In his last game, he played 31 minutes and posted 23.2 fantasy points. He should see similar numbers tonight against the Toronto Raptors. That puts him over value at his low price tag, so there is really no reason to avoid him in 50/50 contests or tournaments. He is one of the best value options on the board without question.
Also Consider: Luol Deng - SF, vs SAC ($3,600)
FanDuel DFS Centers
DeMarcus Cousins - C, at LAL ($11,400)
DeMarcus Cousins is a mess right now, but that does not mean he will stop scoring fantasy points. Forget about all of those technical fouls - they do not count against him from a fantasy perspective. In his last game, he posted just under 55 fantasy points in 36 minutes on the court. He should see a similar performance tonight against the Los Angeles Lakers' terrible big men. The only center options that will give Cousins a run for his money is Karl-Anthony Towns. Both can be rostered in all leagues.
Also Consider: Ivica Zubac - C, vs SAC ($3,900)
