FanDuel DFS Guards

Kemba Walker – PG, vs POR ($7,900)

Walker hasn’t been playing all that well recently, as he’s only averaging 21.0 points, 4.0 rebounds, 4.5 assists, and 1.3 steals per game over the last 10 days. He was on fire before that span, though, and he’s a player that comes with elite upside. He also gets a great matchup against the Blazers, who love pushing the pace in games. Portland has struggled against the point guard this season, and Walker should be able to take advantage of that. He’s an elite tournament option tonight.

Mike Conley – PG, at WAS ($7,800)

Conley has been playing at an elite level recently, as he’s averaging 22.6 points, 4.2 rebounds, 8.8 assists, and 1.8 steals in 37.3 minutes per game over the last 10 days. He has scored at least 35 fantasy points in six of his seven games since returning from injury, including four games with 40 or more fantasy points. He gets a matchup against a fast paced Washington team, and Conley will be locked into 35 or more minutes tonight. He’s a great option for his current price tag.

Sergio Rodriguez – PG, vs TOR ($4,100)

Rodriguez’s value will depend on the status of T.J. McConnell tonight. If McConnell is out, Rodriguez will make a solid option in all leagues. If McConnell is active, Rodriguez should be avoided. He started for McConnell in the Sixers last game, and he scored 10 points with seven rebounds, six assists, and one steal. He still comes with a cheap price tag, and he gets a solid matchup against the Raptors. Keep an eye on McConnell and then make a decision on Rodriguez.

 

FanDuel DFS Forwards

Kevin Durant – SF, vs OKC ($10,400)

Durant has been an elite option for the Warriors this season, and that has been the case over the last 10 days, as well. Over that span, he’s averaging 25.8 points, 8.0 rebounds, 4.8 assists, 2.4 blocks, and 1.0 steal in 35.1 minutes per game. He gets a solid matchup against his old team, and Durant will likely be looking to make a statement in this game. He has been a consistent option for the majority of the season, and KD can be used in all leagues tonight.

Paul Millsap – PF, at DET ($8,300)

Millsap has struggled at times with Dwight Howard in the lineup this season, but he has been playing well recently, and he has displayed great versatility. Over the last 10 days, Millsap is averaging 17.8 points, 7.4 rebounds, 5.4 assists, 1.8 blocks, and 1.4 steals per game. He gets a matchup against the Pistons, who he dominated earlier this season, and Millsap has been a consistent player with great upside recently. He can be used in all leagues on this slate.

Terrence Jones – PF, vs ORL ($5,300)

Jones has been heating up recently, and he could see a bigger role tonight with Anthony Davis questionable. He has scored 32.1, 27.6, and 39.9 fantasy points in his last three games, and he will slide into the starting line with Davis is ruled out. Jones has double double potential with the ability to contribute in other categories, as well. He gets a decent matchup against the Magic tonight, and Jones has looked great when given the minutes this season. Jones can be used in all leagues if Davis is out, and he’ll make a solid tournament option if Davis is starting.

 

FanDuel DFS Centers

Cody Zeller – C, vs POR ($5,100)

Zeller has struggled with injuries this season, but he has scored 25.6, 32.5, and 25.3 fantasy points in each of his last three healthy games. He is also averaging 33.3 minutes per game over that span. He’s a player that can fill the stat sheet, and he gets a great matchup against the Blazers, who love pushing the pace in games. Zeller is still a bit too cheap tonight, and he can be used in all leagues on this slate.

Kelly Olynyk – C, vs NY ($4,300)

Olynyk is another young player that comes with great upside. He has been playing solid minutes for the Celtics, and he has scored 32.8 and 42.1 fantasy points in his last two games. He’s another big man that can contribute in multiple categories, and he gets a good matchup against the Knicks, who have struggled against big men at times this season. Olynyk does come with quite a bit of risk, though, as he has struggled quite a bit this season. He isn’t more than a salary relief tournament option tonight.
