Top DFS Picks (Worth The Investment)
John Wall (WAS, PG) - $9,200
Sometimes configuring daily fantasy lineups is not exactly rocket science. Selecting Wall today is one of those instances.
The Magic have been quite forgiving to opposing point guards, as Elfrid Payton is not exactly known for his defensive prowess. Two weeks ago, Wall put up a monster 56 FanDuel points (FDP) in Orlando, but his owners should be okay with a solid mid-40 FDP game tonight.
Pau Gasol (CHI, PF) - $8,800
Power forwards that can hit jump shots have put up some monster games against the Pacers so far this season, so there is no reason Gasol cannot join that list Saturday night. Since the calendar hit November, the four-time All-Star has upped his game, finding his role as a scorer for the Bulls.
In an alternate move, FanDuel league participants could go for more value and start Jimmy Butler ($7,200) at the SG position, thus clearing more cap space.
Gordon Hayward (UTA, SF) - $7,300
Hayward is on a quasi-hot streak right now and his value has not yet caught up with his production. He has topped out at over 30 FDP in five out of his last eight outings, solidifying his role as the top scoring option on the Utah roster.
Although he played last night- a 50.6 FDP game in The Garden- Hayward has yet another favorable matchup, as Toronto has occasionally struggled to defend against two-guards and swingmen.
Best DFS Values (Sleepers)
Cody Zeller (CHA, PF) - $3,800
If you are feeling particularly bold and want some extra of cap space for the stars, go with Zeller. The Hornets are a little banged up right now and their young big man, as a result, has posted back-to-back games of over 25 minutes. Considering the valuable time Zeller has put in on the court, Hornets coach Steve Clifford is basically forced to play him.
Do not fret about Charlotte playing the second half of a back-to-back. So far this season, in every game of this nature, Zeller has out produced his effort from the previous night. He scored 16 FDP on Friday night and most would be happy with a 20+ game.
Allen Crabbe (POR, SG) - $3,500
Crabbe will see solid minutes Saturday night as the starter in place of the injured Nicolas Batum, thus maximizing his potential production compared to the price tag.
Crabbe has seen a combined 40 minutes over his last two games, but considering the quality contributions he made last time out, the second-year pro should split less time with Dorell Wright. In addition, Brooklyn has generally allowed opposing players at the SF position to trump their FDP average.
