FanDuel DFS Guards
Derrick Rose (vs NOR, $6,600)
Derrick Rose has not looked great in his last two games, but he should be able to get things going tonight against the New Orleans Pelicans. The Pelicans are one of the worst teams in the league against opposing point guards, and, despite his struggles throughout his career, Rose is one of the best point guards in the league. He is a very effective scorer, and he also assists the ball rather well. He is generally playing 30 plus minutes per game, and he should be able to score over 30 fantasy points tonight. With the easiness of his matchup tonight, Rose could actually approach 40 plus fantasy points tonight. His upside is limitless, but he is also likely to at least come close to value. Use him in any format tonight.
D'Angelo Russell (at HOU, $5,100)
D'Angelo Russell is a great tournament play tonight against the Houston Rockets, who are a very uptempo team. Russell should be able to thrive in an uptempo game against the Rockets, and he has looked rather solid of recent. In his last game against the San Antonio Spurs, he scored 24 points and totaled over 41 fantasy points. Jordan Clarkson is dealing with some ankle issues right now, and he is questionable to play tonight against the Rockets. If he does not play, Russell will see a major uptick in minutes. Playing over 30 minutes should easily put Russell at value. He really isn't all that expensive, and he has great upside. It looks like Kobe Bryant is starting to rely more on the younger players on the team, which means Russell should shoot a lot more often. Do not use him in 50/50 contests.
FanDuel DFS Forwards
Draymond Green (at MIL, $8,100)
Draymond Green absolutely dominated in his last game against the Boston Celtics. He scored almost 70 fantasy points and played 50 minutes. As a side note, he was only two assists away from a triple-double. Tonight, he gets a great matchup against the Milwaukee Bucks, and he could be a bigger focal point of the Golden State Warriors offense. With Klay Thompson, the Warriors needed double overtime to stay perfect, and if Klay Thompson sits out again tonight, they'll rely heavily on Draymond Green again. Green is going to shoot a lot more often with Klay Thompson out of the lineup, but he is still a solid play with Thompson in the lineup, as he rebounds and assists just as well with Thompson in the lineup. Use him in any format.
Larry Nance (at HOU, $3,500)
Larry Nance makes for a decent tournament option tonight against the Houston Rockets. He is playing around 20-25 minutes per game right now, and the Houston Rockets are not one of the better teams in the league against the power forward position. Nance really struggled in his last two games, but prior to that, he almost scored 20 fantasy points. He has shown his defensive ability, stealing the ball five times over his last two games. If he starts shooting more often and grabbing more rebounds, he is going to make for a solid fantasy option. However, he is not scoring well right now, and in his last contest, he did not even grab a rebound. There is no reason to play him in 50/50 contests, as he could easily score under 10 fantasy points.
FanDuel DFS Centers
Andre Drummond (vs IND, $9,300)
Andre Drummond is the best center option on the board every time he steps on the court. As great as Ian Mahinmi has been of recent offensively, he is not great defensively. In his last game against the Philadelphia 76ers, he scored almost 50 fantasy points in only 33 minutes on the court. He could grab 20 plus rebounds and score 20 plus points every single game, he he should be able to dominate the Indiana Pacers tonight. This game is going to be close, so the Detroit Pistons are going to rely on Drummond to both score and play defense. He will dominate in both categories.
