FanDuel
Reggie Jackson , PG DET ($4,600)
We saw Jackson’s minutes spike to 30 his last time out and although he looked abysmal during that time, it wasn’t necessarily the easiest match-up either. Jackson took 12 shots, making just one and that’s coming from a guy who has shot over 43-percent from the field for his career, so that was an anomaly. Couple that with the fact he had no counting stats other than points, this whole line was unlike the normal Jackson. This was the first time since being back for five games he’s failed to reach 20 FP and he’s hit 30 in three-of-five. Look for him to get back on track on Sunday.
Danuel House , SF HOU ($4,200)
With Clint Capela already ruled out, it’s likely that House slides into the starting lineup like he did the last time out against Dallas. In that game he played 38 minutes and came away with 29.6 FD points. House obviously has to contend with three usage monsters in Westbrook, Harden and Gordon, but he is a strong three-point shooter that is set up quite a bit because of the attention those three get offensively. House is also very good in the passing lanes as he’s had at least two steals in five of his last eight games. He’s a strong value across all of the major sites today, not just FanDuel.
Josh Hart , SG NO ($4,200)
We’re not going to get Hart starting in this spot, but he doesn’t need to start to be effective. Since the Pelicans have been at full strength, Hart has failed to reach 25 minutes just once so he’s clearly an active member of this rotation. Twice in his last four games he’s notched a double-double off of the bench and in three-of-four he’s contributed eight-plus rebounds. He’s also a very good defender coming away with a block or more in five straight and a steal or better in three-of-four. It’s a really enticing spot for the Pelicans who don't get to play up in pace versus many teams, but will against Houston today.
DraftKings
Chandler Hutchison , SF/PF CHI ($3,400)
Kris Dunn injured himself the last time out and was deemed inactive for this one, so we could potentially see Hutchison -- someone we’ve seen start six games this year -- enter the starting lineup. He’s seen an increase in playing time regardless as his last three games have all surpassed 20 minutes including one that reached 28 minutes against Indiana. Over his last six games he’s averaged 20.6 minutes and 21 FP/game, which at 3.4K is more than enough to consider him viable especially if he starts, but don’t shy away from him without knowing Dunn is out.
Tomas Satoransky , PG CHI ($4,500)
As I mentioned above with Chandler Hutchison , the Bulls will be without Kris Dunn and Satoransky is severely underpriced. He’s played 30-plus minutes in three-of-four and has put up 25-plus FP in all four of those games. With Kris Dunn off of the floor this year, Satoransky has averaged .9 FP/min, which is a really respectable number, especially at his current DraftKings evaluation. The match-up is tough, but we’re not exactly counting on Sato’s points as his primary fantasy weapon as he’s someone who has the ability to stuff the box score.
Brook Lopez , C MIL ($3,900)
I won’t sit here and tell you this is a massive price discrepancy because Lopez hasn’t been great of late, but how can we ignore this price tag against De’Andre Ayton defense? Lopez has failed to hit 20 FP just once over his last seven contests and is still playing around 25 minutes per night. Something that could obviously help him tremendously is if Giannis Antetokounmpo sits (currently questionable) because Lopez receives a huge 4.6-percent usage bump and averages 1.03 FP/min. At that point, a lot of people will pivot to the obvious names of Middleton, Bledsoe and Ilyasova and who can’t fault them? Just don’t forget about Lopez. He’s in play at sub-4K whether Antetokounmpo sits or not.
