We are only three slates into the week and there just continues to be a ton of great value to build your lineups around on both sites and tonight is no exception. Just a reminder that “value” does not just mean those $3,000 tournament darts but players who we consider to be underpriced given their recent production and any increased opportunity they may find themselves with on that night’s slate to produce. Let’s get started!
DraftKings
Jaren Jackson Jr., PF MEM ($4,800) – So if you listened to the NBA DFS Podcast this morning and I’m sure you did, then you heard the reaction James and I had when we saw the price tag for JJJr. Under no circumstances should he be this cheap ever, never mind the match up that he has tonight against a Hornets team that really struggles against opposing forwards. Now, with Jackson, there is always a risk that he gets into foul trouble as that is just part of his game unfortunately, however he has gone for 44 and 32 DK points over his last two games which would be about 9x and 6.5x return given his current price tag.
Chris Boucher , C TOR ($4,300) – He was incredibly chalky the other night following the injury news regarding Serge Ibaka and I expect that trend to again continue tonight as the Raptors face the Trail Blazers. For those of you who don’t know, Boucher was the 2018 G-League MVP in which he averaged 27 points with 11 rebounds and four blocks per game. He has gone for 20+ DK points in each game since the Ibaka injury which puts him at 5x return given the current price tag.
Patrick Beverley , PG LAC ($5,500) – Beverley is going to draw the defensive assignment on what I expect to be James Harden tonight. We know Beverley as one of the top defensive point guards in the NBA. We also know that James Harden and Russell Westbrook for that matter turn the ball over a lot. Harden and Westbrook are also not strong defenders. I think Beverley is going to go overlooked outside of game stacks in a spot where I feel like he could be in position for a solid night.
FanDuel
Kyle Kuzma , PF LAL ($5,000) – Ok, I’ll be honest and say Kuzma is far better priced on DK and you should look to roster him over there as well but on FD he is also severely underpriced given what his upside could honestly be here tonight with Anthony Davis ruled out. Kuzma recently had his minutes restriction lifted and last night in 25 minutes we saw him score 23 points against the Suns. He is also going to be very popular.
Enes Kanter , C BOS ($4,300) – I know I said this article isn’t about just dart throws but here is a dart throw for you. The Celtics are without both Daniel Theis and Robert Williams tonight. Kanter just returned from injury the other night and played just six minutes. There’s no word that he is going to play more minutes tonight but he is pretty much a lock for 20/10 whenever he gets actual minutes.
Rondae Hollis-Jefferson , PF TOR ($4,200) – There is value all over the front court positions tonight if you haven’t noticed and RHJ certainly falls into that category. After we saw OG Anunoby get injured two minutes into the game the other night we saw Hollis-Jefferson enter the game and play 28 minutes in which he scored nine points while grabbing nine boards with one assist, one block and three steals. Whenever he was given an actual chance on the Nets he produced so I think there is some real upside here tonight.
