FanDuel DFS Guards
Russell Westbrook - PG, vs NOP ($12,800)
The most obvious fantasy option on the board tonight is Russell Westbrook. He is very expensive, but it is not all that difficult to fit him into most lineups with a bit of 'give and take.' With over 60 fantasy points in five of his last six games, it is unlikely that he is not going to hit value. Against the New York Knicks, he posted just shy of 75 fantasy points, which is a ridiculous outing on FanDuel. The New Orleans Pelicans are going to rely on DeMarcus Cousins and Anthony Davis to attempt to keep this game within reach. It should be a fun one to watch.
Bradley Beal - SG, vs UTA ($7,100)
Bradley Beal is one of the best tournament options on the board tonight. He is a shooting guard, and that position is very bleak right now. The Utah Jazz are a slower team, but Beal posted over 50 fantasy points in his last game, and he has over 40 fantasy points in three of his last six contests. Pairing him with John Wall makes sense in tournaments. As a side note, pairing John Wall with Marcin Gortat makes for a solid move in cash games.
Also Consider: Jaylen Brown - SG, at DET ($3,900)
FanDuel DFS Forwards
Anthony Davis - PF, at OKC ($9,900)
As previously mentioned, Anthony Davis will face off against Russell Westbrook tonight, in what should be a great basketball showdown. Oh, DeMarcus Cousins will be there too. Davis has been playing well with Cousins on the court. He is taking shots whenever he wants, and Cousins is contributing in other areas of the game. Davis is entirely too cheap on both DraftKings and FanDuel right now. Roster him in all leagues, as he is very likely going to hit value. He shot the ball 34 times and posted just under 60 fantasy points in his last game, which was against the Dallas Mavericks.
Jon Leuer - PF vs BOS ($4,900)
If cash game options are of concern, Jon Leuer is one of the better consistent players on the board. He gets a good matchup against the Boston Celtics, and he should be able to hit value, yet again, at his price tag. He has over 20 fantasy points in three consecutive games now, over 25 fantasy points twice in those three games, and over 30 fantasy points once. His upside is really not all that high, but he has posted over 40 fantasy points already this season. Roster him in cash games, for the most part.
Also Consider: Maurice Harkless - SF, at TOR ($4,700)
FanDuel DFS Centers
Frank Kaminsky - C, at LAC ($5,900)
While DeMarcus Cousins does make for a solid option next to Anthony Davis in both cash and tournament lineups, it would be an injustice to not have Frank Kaminsky as the best center option available. He gets a good matchup against DeAndre Jordan and the Los Angeles Clippers, and he has been red hot of recent. In his last game, he posted over 45 fantasy points in 38 minutes against the Sacramento Kings. Cody Zeller has been hurt, and that is only making Kaminsky better. Even if Zeller plays tonight, Kaminsky will see around 35 minutes. He has earned it.
Also Consider: Jusuf Nurkic - C, at TOR ($5,500)
