FanDuel

Tomas Satoransky , PG CHI ($5,300)

Everyone is going to pivot to Coby White , and for good reason, now that Zach LaVine is listed as doubtful, but let’s not sleep on Satoransky here. With LaVine off the floor, Satoransky averages 1.08 FP/min, while White averages 1.09 and we get a big discount going to Satoransky from White. The usage rate bump favors White, but Satoransky has never been someone who dominates in that category. Satoransky has averaged 27 FP/game over his last five games and that could be elevated with LaVine sitting out. Dallas has been in the bottom half of the league against both point-guards and shooting-guards over the last month and this is a sneaky 7-8X type of value at this price tag.

Terrence Ross , SG ORL ($4,900)

Ross is rollin’ right now. Sometimes when streaky shooters get hot, there’s really nothing you can do to slow them down. He’s knocked down three or more three-pointers in five straight games and has scored 19 or more actual points in five-of-seven games. Someone not exactly known for consistency, Ross has put up 22.9-plus FD points in 11 straight games and has topped 30 in four-of-five. Now, we just got word that Aaron Gordon is questionable to play, which should only heighten our interest in Ross considering he sports a 26.4-percent usage rate and averages 1.04 FP/min when Gordon, Isaac and Aminu have been off the floor. He’s a very strong play and could become borderline elite if Gordon sits this one out.

Trey Lyles , PF SAS ($4,300)

With a banged up front court, we saw Lyles be deployed for 38 minutes his last time out and we saw the potential for fantasy goodness, notching 20 points, nine rebounds, two assists and four steals, good for 48 FD points. Lyles has been a .87 FP/min player this year, which shows the potential, especially if he’s given around the ballpark of 30 minutes. The Pacers -- today’s opponent -- are 21st in rebounding since February 1st, rank in the bottom six against PF’s according to DVP over the past month and are right outside of the bottom 10 against C’s to boot. The match-up and price don’t get much better than this, let’s just hope we don’t get Pop’d.

DraftKings

Myles Turner , C IND ($5,200)

The price tag has not matched Turner’s recent production as the Texas product heads to the state he played in college to take on the Spurs. The Spurs are very short-handed in the front court and Turner is playing some really strong basketball. He has back-to-back double-doubles and has three straight double-figure rebound games and gets to square up against a small front court with the Spurs likely deploying Trey Lyles as their primary center. Turner also has 14 blocks over his last three games, which is an elite bonus to go along with the points and rebounds. The Spurs are 23rd in rebounding since February 1st, so we could see a fourth straight 10-plus rebound outing and third straight double-double.

Rudy Gay , SF/PF SAS ($4,300)

The Spurs will likely be without LaMarcus Aldridge and are already without Jakob Poeltl , so they’re lacking size in their front court in this one. When Poeltl left just a few minutes into the Spurs last contest, Gay was thrusted into action playing 29 minutes and put on a show, scoring 19 points, six rebounds and four assists, good for 39 DK points. That type of production at this price is as elite as it gets. The Gregg Popovich effect is looming, however, and we could see Gay slip right back into a 17-20 minute role at the snap of a finger. The Spurs are, however, in the midst of a playoff push, so Pop may need Gay to be on the floor as long as he can go. GPP play only for me.

Mo Harkless, SF/PF NYK ($3,500)

The Knicks have been running Harkless out in their starting lineup and he’s been producing at a high level, so there’s no reason to think that won’t continue. Harkless has played 25-plus minutes in four straight games and now has 27 or more DK points in two consecutive. We like Harkless not for his usage rate because that’s essentially non existent, but for his ability to accrue peripheral stats. He has four or more rebounds in three straight, two or more assists in those same three games and has at least one steal in three-of-four. The small-ball lineup Houston runs out there benefits Harkless’ prospects to stay on the floor. In this uptempo environment, Harkless should bode well and crush 5X his salary.
