FanDuel DFS Guards
Victor Oladipo - SG, @ PHO ($9,300)
Victor Oladipo is displaying no residual effects from the knee injury that forced him to miss four games and is once again a lock for DFS lineups. Oladipo is primed to have a solid day, especially considering how fast Indiana and Phoenix are going to play on Sunday. Things are looking good for him and if you can afford him, he's not a bad guy to build your lineup around.
Damian Lillard - PG, @ MIN ($9,000)
Since returning to the lineup after missing a few games as a result of a bum calf, Damian Lillard is playing well, putting up 29 points against Houston and 23 points against New Orleans. The Blazers will be going up against a Timberwolves team that is allowing opposing playmakers to shoot 45 percent from the field in addition to 24 points and seven assists per contest over the past five games, making Lillard a fine candidate for a solid DFS performance on Sunday.
Jrue Holiday - SG, @ NYK ($7,100)
Jrue Holiday is a guy who quietely produces, especially in a lineup that features DeMarcus Cousins and Anthony Davis. He started off the season a little slow, but turned it on by averaging nearly 18 points and five assists in December. He has dipped slightly since then, but is still producing nonetheless. He will likely be matched up with Courtney Lee, which isn't a bad thing for Holiday by any means.
Other FanDuel DFS Guards to Consider: Devin Booker - SG, vs. IND ($8,000), Goran Dragic - PG, vs. MIL ($7,000), Khris Middleton - SG, @ MIA ($6,900), Malcolm Brogdon - SG, @ MIA ($5,600), Jeff Teague - PG, vs. POR ($5,500), Tim Hardaway Jr. - SG, vs. NOP ($5,000)
FanDuel DFS Forwards
T.J. Warren - SF, vs. IND ($7,500)
As mentioned earlier, the matchup between Indy and Phoenix is anticipated to be the highest-scoring games on the slate. With more combined points, more fantasy points are up for grabs. Sounds easy, right? T.J. Warren is the number two guy for the Suns and though he doesn't put up the flashiest of numbers, he is consistent. Give him a look, especially if you are looking for a guy who plays high minutes and is usually good for some points.
E'Twaun Moore - SF, @ NYK ($4,700)
Two things are going to happen after writing this about E'Twaun Moore. Either he is going to have a good performance which will make you think I'm a fantasy genius, or he is going to flop and I'm going to look like an idiot. However, in DFS, you have to take a chance or two and Moore is a guy I'm comfortable taking a chance on, especially since he is good for minutes north of the 30 mark and on a team that isn't very deep. We will see how this works out.
Dragan Bender - PF, vs. IND ($4,100)
If Marquese Chriss doesn't play due to a hip issue, Dragan Bender should continue to see an abundance of minutes. Since seeing a bulk of the responsibilities at the four spot, Bender has been playing well, accumulating 34 points, 14 boards and five blocks over the past two games against OKC and the Rockets. At only $4,100, he could easily surpass his value by far.
Other FanDuel DFS Forwards to Consider: Kristaps Porzingis - PF, vs. NOP ($8,700), Jimmy Butler - SF, vs. POR ($9,200), Taj Gibson - PF, vs. MIN ($5,800)
FanDuel DFS Centers
Hassan Whiteside - C, vs. MIL ($7,900)
The asking price for Hassan Whiteside on Sunday is very generous considering what could happen by the time everything is all said and done. Whiteside appears healthy and though he doesn't play heavy minutes, the guy is still averaging a double-double by way of 14 points and nearly 12 boards in addition to a little under two blocks. With Milwaukee allowing opposing centers to shoot an insane 72 percent from the field over the last five outings, things could get really nasty.
Other FanDuel DFS Centers to Consider: Enes Kanter - C, vs. NOP ($5.500)
