It doesn't get much better than daily fantasy basketball on a Saturday. Eric Bledsoe, Greg Monroe, and Andre Drummond are the top plays tonight. John Wall is also a good option, but his price tag is expensive on Fanduel. There are plenty of value options that will allow you to get a couple of the high priced players in your lineup.
Reggie Jackson continues to be a great play at his price range and he'll have a huge game if his shot is falling. Deron Williams is a good play that not a lot of people will have tonight. Eric Bledsoe is worth spending up on because he has a high floor and has the ability to put up huge games. Kentavious Caldwell-Pope continues to produce quality games and he doesn't cost that much. The artist formerly known as Bill "Sky" Walker (Henry) is getting consistent minutes for the Heat and is a superb punt option on Aces.
There are only a few options worth using at small forward tonight. Kawhi Leonard is the number one option at the position and it helps that he doesn't cost that much. P.J. Tucker is a solid number two small forward on Fanduel. The power forward position is loaded tonight as Greg Monroe and Derrick Favors are great plays. Zach Randolph and Tim Duncan are too expensive for my liking. Andrea Bargnani is a great value option, especially since he is playing his former team, but don't expect another performance like he had last night. The center position is also loaded as there are great options at multiple price ranges. Andre Drummond is the best of the top-tier options, Marcin Gortat is a great mid-tier play, and Alex Len continues to be under priced on Fanduel and Aces.
