Louis Williams (SG, LAL) - FanDuel 50/50 Play on 1/23/16
MATCHUP/VALUE: at POR, $5,800 ANALYSIS: Speaking of great upside, Lou Williams is playing against the Portland Trailblazers tonight. He has not broken the 30 fantasy points mark in four straight games, but prior to that, he had over 30 fantasy points in three straight games. In one of those games, against the Oklahoma City Thunder, […]
Julius Randle (PF, LAL) - FanDuel Value Play on 1/17/16
MATCHUP/VALUE: vs HOU, $5,500 ANALYSIS: There aren’t a whole lot of plays that jump out at the power forward position. Chris Bosh seems stable but really has a low ceiling, LaMarcus Aldridge’s minutes are confusing, and Dirk Nowitzki, though consistent, draws the vaunted Spurs defense. There is an opening against the Houston frontcourt. For starters, […]
Larry Nance Jr. (PF, LAL) - FanDuel Value Play on 1/14/16
MATCHUP/VALUE: at GSW, $4,400 ANALYSIS: You can pretty much just reread what I wrote for Louis Williams. Nance has been getting pretty consistent minutes, and has reached 5x value (at his current price point) in his last three games. While he likely won't blow you away with any huge numbers, he will almost certainly hit value […]
Louis Williams (SG, LAL) - Solid FanDuel Play on 1/14/16
MATCHUP/VALUE: at GSW, $6,000 ANALYSIS: Shooting Guard is always a tough position on FanDuel, and tonight is no exception. I'm worried about a blowout in Philly, making Butler too risky to roster, and Klay is a bit too expensive for his recent fantasy production. That leaves a ton of mid-priced guys to choose from. Based on the […]

Larry Nance Jr. (PF, LAL) - Cheap DraftKings Play on 1/3/16
MATCHUP/VALUE: vs PHO, $4,100 ANALYSIS: Nance Jr. is the kind of guy that'll do just enough, in his average of 20.8 minutes a night, to positively shake a lineup for his low price. He's coming off a season high 14 rebounds, and has posted 20+ fantasy points in three of his last four, including a […]
Lou Williams (SG, LAL) - DraftKings Value Play on 1/3/16
MATCHUP/VALUE: vs PHO, $5,400 ANALYSIS: Williams has seen the floor more than any other Laker in four straight games, averaging well over 3o minutes played in that span. He'll also likely be assigned the responsibility of guarding Brandon Knight, who has seemed to have lost his way a bit since the injury to Eric Bledsoe. I'm […]
