New Yorkers like myself are in a bind now. FanDuel has been ordered to stop accepting deposits from us for the foreseeable future. From what I’m hearing, that won’t change until potentially a court case on November 25th. So, if you’re low on cash, spend it wisely. Hopefully you can get a big win to keep your daily entries going.
As for tonight, November 17th, we have a seven-game lineup that gives us a couple of high-scoring games to target. I think you’ll be able to weed them out as we go along. Let’s get down to it.

Guards with High Value on FanDuel
Dennis Schroder (ATL, PG) - $4,800
Schroder has become a no-brainer whenever Teague is out, and it appears that will be the case on Tuesday. He will be very highly owned in all formats, but he has the potential to make a huge impact at a very low price. I can see myself pairing him with Kyle Lowry and feeling very good about that.
Eric Gordon (NO, SG) - $6,o00
Gordon’s minutes still haven’t lessened, and his price hasn’t reached where it should be yet. This is one of those fast-paced games that I referenced above, and Gordon should be able to hit value at 30 FDP fairly easily if he can get his shots to fall. There are not a whole lot of options outside of him that I like at SG tonight.
Honorable Mentions: Kyle Lowry (TOR, PG), Kemba Walker (PG, CHA), Zach LaVine (MIN, SG)
Forwards with High Value on FanDuel
Carmelo Anthony (NY, SF) - $9,600
For some reason the SF position seems lame tonight too. Melo has been lighting it up lately, and we get two bad teams in what should be a good game in this one. Anthony could take over and simply start taking every shot. That usually produces points.
Thaddeus Young (BKN, PF) - $5,800
Before you rag on me, hear me out. Anthony Davis is an automatic play for me on Tuesday (see the obnoxious bold/caps below). You’re likely going to have to steer away from Melo to get him in with Lowry and others, but the matchup is too good. I want to give analysis on someone else who’s not as obvious, though.
Outside of Davis, Young seems to be the next best option. He’s so inconsistent that you can probably only use him in a tournament, but he’s showed flashes of brilliance lately. He’s gotta touch 30 FDP to reach value, and that certainly seems doable when he’s rebounding and passing well.
Honorable Mentions: Marcus Morris (SF, DET), Harrison Barnes, ANTHONY DAVIS (NO, PF), Kenneth Faried (DEN, PF), Kristaps Porzingis (NY, PF)
Centers with High Value on FanDuel
Brook Lopez (BKN, C) - $8,000
If you can find a way to roster him with the budget I’ve created (it won’t be easy), then Lopez might pay off on Tuesday. He dropped 44.7 FDP a couple of weeks ago, and there aren’t any surefire options at center tonight to steer me elsewhere. This slate didn’t come easy to me, but good luck seeing something I’m not!
Honorable Mentions: Andre Drummond (DET, C), Jonas Valanciunas (TOR, C)
