We have a four-game slate tonight with a lot of similar value plays to target so while this article is usually split between top value plays between DK and FD I am going to combine the two tonight given the size of the player pools. With that said, let’s jump in!
Philadelphia 76ers not named Tobias Harris – So, you probably know by now that both Joel Embiid and Ben Simmons have been ruled out for tonight and that has opened up a ton of value options that should all be highly owned just given the increased playing time and usage. Harris is an elite option in his own right but you will be paying up for him tonight. The top plays to target tonight from are as followed:
- Al Horford , PF/C – DraftKings $5,200 & FanDuel $4,800
- Shake Milton , PG – DraftKings $4,700 & FanDuel $4,300
- Josh Richardson , SG – DraftKings $5,300 & FanDuel $5,200
- Furkan Korkmaz , SG/SF – Draftkings $4,400 & FanDuel $4,100
Rajon Rondo , PG – DraftKings $3,500 & FanDuel $4,000 – Rondo is expected to start tonight in place of the injured LeBron James . There is a lot of competition for guard minutes tonight but I give him the nod since he is the one starting. The Warriors are a horrible defensive team and Rondo has popped off at times this season when given the opportunity.
Kentavious Caldwell-Pope – SG/SF DraftKings $3,600 & FanDuel $3,900 – Like I stated above, LeBron James has been ruled out. KCP has been very solid of late in both his minutes played and fantasy production. With LBJ out someone is going to benefit and with KCP also a starter he could get additional looks here as well.
Bobby Portis , PF/C – DraftKings $4,100 & FanDuel $4,000 – Just got news that Portis is going to start in place of Taj Gibson who is questionable to play. Portis already plays 20-to-25 minutes a night and is a high fantasy point per minute player. He will have a tough match up against Al Horford but the value is going to be there for him.
Cory Joseph , PG – DraftKings $3,100 & FanDuel $3,600 – De’Aaron Fox has been ruled out for tonight. Joseph was the starting guard earlier this season when Fox sat. You really don’t need to play him outside of being a pivot option for the more popular value plays on tonight’s slate. He does not draw a great match up with the Kings going on the road to face the Thunder.
