FanDuel DFS Guards
John Wall - PG, at IND ($10,400)
Pairing John Wall with Marcin Gortat is the best move fantasy owners can make tonight in cash games. Wall is a great option against the Indiana Pacers, and he could outscore all other fantasy options on the board. Monta Ellis is worth consideration, as a salary relief option to ensure that Wall's high price tag does not damage the salary cap too much. With over 40 fantasy points in six consecutive games, over 45 fantasy points in three of those six games, and over 50 fantasy points twice in his last six games, it should be obvious why Wall makes for a great option. Roster him in all leagues.
Also Consider: Monta Ellis - SG, vs WAS ($4,200)
FanDuel DFS Forwards
Jimmy Butler - SF, vs BOS ($9,700)
Jimmy Butler has been playing extremely well of recent for the Chicago Bulls, so his price tag is starting to climb, but that is not a big deal tonight. He should still hit value, especially if Dwyane Wade does not suit up - he is currently questionable to play. Butler posted over 43 fantasy points in three of his last four games. Paul George also makes for a solid, expensive small forward option, but Butler is likely going to steal the show on a short, two-game slate. Please note, Kevin Seraphin is a great salary relief option at the power forward position tonight against the Washington Wizards.
Also Consider: Kevin Seraphin - PF, vs WAS ($4,300)
FanDuel DFS Centers
Marcin Gortat - C, at IND ($7,300)
Marcin Gortat is the best center option on the board tonight, at least for cash games. As mentioned below, Kelly Olynyk makes for a great tournament play against the Chicago Bulls, but he is too inconsistent for 50/50 contests. Gortat has been consistently hitting value, posting over 34 fantasy points in five of his last six games. There is no reason not to trust him tonight against the uptempo Indiana Pacers. The Washington Wizards are going to push this game as fast as possible, and the Pacers will not back down. It is a great game to attack from a fantasy perspective, especially with only two games to choose from.
Also Consider: Kelly Olynyk - C, at CHI ($4,600)
