FanDuel DFS Guards
J.J. Barea - PG, vs OKC ($3,900)
J.J. Barea is known as one of the top backup point guards in the league and there is not a game where he has not been productive in his minutes. He is able to score easily and has no problem hitting open teammates. His semi-selfish attitude makes him a great DFS play and the favorable matchup only sweetens the deal. He will produce against the Thunder backcourt. The question is, how much? Barea is effective in spurts and has had one 20-point game since his most recent return. Do not expect that to change against Oklahoma City, but expect him to have a solid game given his price.
Kentavious Caldwell-Pope - SG, at NYK ($4,400)
The Knicks defense is something to be appreciated by all DFS players. It makes SG options like Kentavious Caldwell-Pope a very sneaky sleeper option on a night with few choices. Usually, Pope is a streaky scorer that focuses on defense. Seeing how there is no one for him to really focus on defensively, except him to contribute as much as he can on offense instead. The Pistons as a whole are inconsistent, but they have shown moments of true greatness at random times. Expect Pope, as well as both teams to come out of nowhere to put together an instant classic in MSG.
Also Consider: Elfrid Payton - SG, at TOR ($7,100)
FanDuel DFS Forwards
Joe Johnson - SF, vs NOP ($3,800)
The Pelicans new team dynamic has started to reel in some unsuspecting wins. Against the Jazz, expect nothing different. The Jazz are a rock-solid defensive squad led by Rudy Gobert. Other than that, Derrick Favors is out and has been sketchy all season, not to mention the Jazz lack another true big man. This is where Joe Johnson comes in. If the Pelicans manage to exploit the defensive weakness in the Jazz, Utah will be forced to try and shoot their way out of this game. Johnson being one of the better shooters on this team fits right in with where this game should go. Expect plenty of minutes and shots out of the underpriced veteran.
JayMychal Green - PF, at SAC ($4,100)
JayMychal Green has struggled to find his normal double-double scraping form, but he strives against teams are actually decent at rebounding. His best recent game was against Dwight Howard and the Hawks, meaning that going up against Willie Cauley-Stein should produce a similar result. Green is slowly developing his outside game, making him even more of a threat against a team like the Kings. Sacramento likes to score from the outside and if they are not hitting, expect Green to be all over the boards.
Also Consider: LaMarcus Aldridge - PF, vs CLE ($7,300)
FanDuel DFS Centers
Nerlens Noel - C, vs OKC ($5,900)
Not only did the Thunder play yesterday, but Nerlens Noel is very underpriced given his potential. Steven Adams is not a very good defender, and Noel is a monster when it comes to playing in the low-post. Noel is a double-double threat with the ability to go 20/10 in a favorable matchup. Getting Noel in your lineup for this price is a priority.
Also Consider: Andre Drummond - C, at NYK ($7,400)
