We've got ourselves a 12-game Wednesday. What a damn treat that is. Options galore.
The fact that we've got 24 teams in action means there are options. The fact that only the Spurs, Celtics, Jazz, Rockets, and Warriors on the back end of a back-to-back means we've really, really got options. As for Vegas insights, the games that look most worthy of targeting based on high over/unders are Warriors at Suns (220), Lakers at Cavs (207), Nuggets at Pistons (208), Clippers at Celtics (208), and Kings at Sixers (216). That's a lot to like right there.
Let's get to it, shall we?

FanDuel DFS Guards
Kyrie Irving (vs LAL, $7,600)
There's a lot to like about Kyrie Irving this evening, and if his recent play is indicative of anything, he's in for a big time performance. Over the Cavaliers' last 10 games, Irving has exceeded value 80% of the time, and by an average of over seven points per contest. His salary has risen $800 in that same period, but it still hasn't caught up to his production and as such, I find him to be a bargain at this price tag. His matchup tonight is a great one, as the game has a high expected point total and of all the teams in play tonight, the Lakers allow the third-most fantasy points to opposing point guards. The Lakers also operate at a fast pace, which should give the Cavs offense more possessions than most nights.
Cory Joseph (at MIN, $4,000)
If you need salary relief at the point, Joseph is your guy on Wednesday. He draws a good matchup against the Timberwolves and since he comes off the bench, he likely wont have to deal with the pesky hands and defense of Ricky Rubio. Like Irving, Joseph too has exceeded value in eight of his last 10 and he's doing so averaging roughly 25 minutes a game. The spread of this game is just 6.5, but I can see the Raptors pulling away in this one, which could give Joseph a lot of action in garbage time. Either way, I think he's a real solid bet to exceed value at this price.
E'Twaun Moore (vs ATL, $4,200)
I'm pretty underwhelmed by the options at shooting guard tonight, especially the pricier options, and with that in mind I'm looking for cheaper options with solid minutes and opportunity. Mr. Moore fits that description this evening, and he's currently playing some of the best basketball of his career. He's exceeded his price implied value in three of his last four games, while starting and seeing roughly 33 minutes a night. His matchup tonight is a real favorable one as he should continue to see 30-35 minutes and the Hawks allow the second-most fantasy points to opposing two-guards of any team in action tonight.
Also Consider: Rajon Rondo (at PHI, $8,800) and James Harden (at POR, $10,700)
FanDuel DFS Forwards
Stanley Johnson (vs DEN, $4,900)
After a few hot games, Johnson threw up a dud his last time out, which I'm hoping keeps his ownership percentage below 20% this evening. The thing I love about StanJohn is that even on nights his fantasy production isn't great, he never cheats himself of opportunity. In other words, he gets his shots up regardless. On nights when they're falling, he can exceed value easily. His price has jumped $1,100 over the past 10 days, but I still find him to be a strong candidate to exceed his price implied value tonight. His usage rate is just shy of 20, and that's rare to see for someone priced so low. Take advantage.
Myles Turner (vs CHA, $5,700)
With his recent play, Turner is looking like he could be the steal of the lottery in the 2015 NBA Draft, save for that Kristaps Porzingis guy. Over his last 10 games, he's exceeded value nine times, and by an average of more than seven points per contest. Even better, tonight he and the Pacers draw the Hornets, who have allowed the second most points to opposing power forwards of any team in action tonight. The thing I really like about Turner, in addition to his work on the glass, is that the Pacers are finding more ways to get him good looks at the basket. As a result, he's taken 11+ shots in five of his last six games, and he's making the most of his opportunity.
Also Consider: Wesley Johnson (at BOS, $4,400) and Taj Gibson (vs ATL, $5,300) and Paul Millsap (at CHI, $8,100)
FanDuel DFS Centers
Karl-Anthony Towns (vs TOR, $8,700)
There are actually quite a few centers I'm intrigued with this evening, but KAT is going to be my guy in tournament play. He's been playing excellent, well-rounded basketball and has a few 50+ and nearly-50 fantasy point games in the past few weeks because of it. With so many solid options at center, what separates Towns from the pack for me is the fact I think Toronto's excellent rim protection will scare people away from rostering him, when really it's his ability to stretch the floor and score outside the paint where he does a lot of his damage.
Also Consider: DeAndre Jordan (at BOS, $8,500)
