There are seven games on the slate tonight and most of them are enticing matchups. OUtside of the Mavericks-Lakers and Warrior-Spurs, there are no real "landmine" games that are sure to be low scoring. The Bulls-Wizards is full of value, but there is no gaurantee on who will be the most productive player. The Bulls are on the second night of a back-to-back and the Wizards have been weirdly inconsistent without John Wall.
Eric Bledsoe, Will Barton and Harrison Barnes round out my higher priced plays that should exceed projected without putting a serious dent in your spendable salary. Bradley Beal is absolutely worth the roster, but his price his fairly high and his fantasy upside revolves more around him scoring 50, rather than him contributing across the board stats. He should be a great play since he is going up against one of the worst defenses versus shooting guards, but his price is fairly high and has slight upside.

FanDuel DFS Guards
Yogi Ferrell - PG, vs. LAL ($3,900)
The Lakers haven't mad massive changes to their defensive structure, so the Lakers will still continue to have one of the better defenses in the league. While that may be true, Yogi Ferrell is a size problem for most defenders. He has learned to use his body more and it's lead to increased opportunities and better fantasy nights. His price is incredibly low and he always has upside since he is a hustle player with a knack for knocking down shots. Dennis Smith Jr. and Ferrell have proved they can share the court and they play off eachother fairly well. This should be a close game between two young teams and Ferrell is one of the more experienced guards in the game.
Also Consider: Shelvin Mack - PG, vs. MIL ($4,000)
Josh Hart - SG, at DAL ($6,600)
Sticking with the youthful theme, Josh Hart has been doing too much in the box score to be passed up. After a slow start to the season, Hart has stuck with his routine, played tough defense and been the ideal role player in the Laker backcourt. He's been assuming tough defensive matchups and it has been leading to confidence and production on both sides of the ball. His price is a tad undesirable, but his game log would disagree. Since he is still working on being a consistent scorer, he's a risky play, but he should have the advantage against the Mavericks. Dallas might play great team defense but they struggle in isolation, where the Lakers tend to excel.
Also Consider: Avery Bradley - SG, at PHI ($4,600)

Denzel Valentine - SF, vs. WAS ($4,900)
Denzel Valentine is about as inconsistent as they come, but he had a strong outing last night versus the Timberwolves. Zach Lavine may have stolen the show but the Bulls will be riding that momentum into tonight's game against the Wizards. The chances Lavine is able to pull off another near-40 point outing are minimal, and the rest of the Bulls should be pulling a little bit more of their weight Saturday. Normally, playing someone against Otto Porter would be risky, but I'm banking on the Wizards sticking a lesser qualified defender on Valentine, basically letting him shoot at will. Valentine is one of those players that you can let try and beat you on his own, it won't work but DFS players will benefit.
Also Consider: Otto Porter Jr. - SF, at CHI ($7,400)
Lauri Markkanen - PF, vs. WAS ($4,600)
Lauri Markkanen will continue to be a solid play until his price nears the $6,000-7,000 range. His ability to score and rebound make him a nightly double-double threat and it's hard to pass that up, even with Lavine back in the rotation. Lavine has opened up opportunities for other players, but there is still a small sample size surrounding Lavine and Markkanen impact on each other's production. Markkannen returned to the lineup with a massive 35 minute night, but he failed to really get anything going. Expect him to do some type of rebounding, literally and figuratively against the Wizards.
Draymond Green - PF, vs. SA ($8,400)
This one seems iffy, but if theres any team that will let Draymond Green shoot all over, it's the Spurs. The Spurs will do what they can to limit Kevin Durant and Steph Curry, leaving Draymond to do most off the ball-handling and generating offense. There's a very good chance most players will fade Green tonight and it's a main reason why I am buying his stock for tonight. Truthfully, his price is a tad high and it involves taking a risk, but he continue to be a consistent source of production every night and his defense gives him unreal upside. If the Spurs and Warriors get locked up in a defensive slugfest, expect Green and Pau Gasol to be leading the charge for their respective teams in the box score.
Also Consider: Davis Bertans - PF, vs. GSW ($3,700)
FanDuel DFS Centers
Julius Randle - C, at DAL ($7,200)
It was between DeAndre Jordan and Julius Randle, and I'm fairly worried Jordan may struggle to rebound against Philadelphia. (Kind of ridiculous to think that, I know) The 76ers are one, if not THE best rebounding teams and that mean's they will be doing what they can to keep Jordan off the glass. As for Randle, the Mavericks lack the strength to really stop him from being productive. The Mavericks play a great, clean style of team defense that causes problems, but Randle generates against any matchup and can use his frame to knock around with bigs in the paint. Mainly, this pick was a decision between Jordan and Randle and I will completely honest, I have a hunch Jordan does not have a great game tonight.
Also Consider: Robin Lopez - C, vs WAS ($4,100)
