Welcome back to the Fantasy Alarm NBA DFS Value Vault! We have six games on the main slate today, so let’s check out some value plays!
DRAFTKINGS
1.) OG Anunoby SF/PF (TOR) $5,300 –
Taking a stab at OG here as I feel this is a great spot against the Cavs and he jumped right back into 34 minutes in his return game from a six-game absence. OG shot very well from the field, as he went six-for-eight from the field and three-for-five from the perimeter. He scored 15 actual and grabbed five boards, along with one dime and four steals in route to 34 fantasy points on the night against the Jazz. I believe he is in play on both sites as he does bring nice value on FanDuel as well with his defensive statistics.
2.) Talen Horton-Tucker SF (LAL) $4,200 –
With LeBron James now likely to miss some time with a high-ankle sprain, Horton-Tucker should be a direct beneficiary of an increased role. We have seen the upside THT can bring when given ample minutes, as just a few games ago we saw back to back 31 and 41 fantasy point efforts in just 26 and 28 minutes. He does not get the best match up here against the Suns, but he is still very cheap and should see mid-twenties in minutes, if not more.
3.) Markieff Morris PF/C (LAL) $3,900 –
Lots of Lakers values here for today’s game and some may elect not to use it due to the match up with the Suns. Kieff saw 28 minutes last time out against the Hawks and had one his better fantasy productions lately. He dropped 12 actual, with six boards, one dime, a block and a steal in route to 26 DraftKings fantasy points. He will likely continue to see a nice role now as the Lakers will be hurting for offense, and he can contribute as a nice scoring outlet.
FANDUEL
1.) Alec Burks SG (NYK) $4,900 –
Burks continues to play big minutes as he has played back-to-back 35- and 33-minute outings over his last two while putting up 27.8 and 38 FanDuel fantasy points. We know how much the Sixers have struggled against wings this season and this is a very nice spot here for Burks. Burks has topped 25 FanDuel fantasy points in four of his last five games played and as long as his minutes continue to be 30+, he will easily have value while his price is still under $5k.
2.) Tim Hardaway Jr. SG (DAL) $4,200 –
THJ is $1.5K more over on DraftKings, so you can use that extra savings to help pay up for another spot on FanDuel. Hardaway Jr. was gifted with 40 minutes on the floor last time out against this same Blazers team he will face yet again today in the rubber match. He was able to accrue 25 points, five boards, and five assists in the extended run and it allowed him to go for 37.5 FanDuel fantasy points as a result. He has not scored 21.7, 26.7, and 37.5 FD fantasy points over his last three games and has gone for 25+ FD fantasy points in four of his last six games played.
3.) Isaiah Stewart PF (DET) $4,100 –
Stewart has grown into a really nice role lately, as he has seen at least 23+ minutes in four of his last five contests. He has also eclipsed 20 FanDuel fantasy points in eight of his last ten games played and is fresh off a 27.8 FanDuel fantasy point effort in 25 minutes against the Rocket last time out. As we all know, the Bulls have struggled mightily against opposing Bigs and Stewart has nice value in this spot.
