NBA DFS Value Vault: November 3

Welcome back FANation! This is the Sunday, November 3rd edition of the Fantasy Alarm NBA DFS Value Vault! We have a nice 5-game main slate to look for some very nice value in. As always, THREE player options from both major sites, DraftKings and FanDuel. So, let's get down to it!

 

1.) RJ Barrett  ($6,500)- I believe there is decent value here on Barrett facing the Kings at home. Barrett has now put up at least 33 or more fantasy points in his first five of six games as a Knick in his rookie campaign. He is also averaging the most minutes per game on the team at a whopping 36.5. He leads the team in usage at 23.4%. Last, but not least, he gets a Kings team that is allowing the fourth most fantasy points to the PG spot. 

 

2.) Kendrick Nunn  ($5,700)- In the fastest pace game on the slate with the Heat and the Rockets, I will turn to Nunn here today at his very modest price. Nunn has been a scoring machine so far this season, putting up at least 17 real points in every single game so far this season, as well as 35 or more fantasy points in all but one of the contests he's played in. He also leads the team in usage at 26.0%, and we know he has a very favorable matchup today against the Rockets who allowed Brad Beal to almost score 40 real points on them. It is also worth noting that both Justise Winslow and Jimmy Butler are both questionable going into today's game.

 

3.) Jordan Clarkson  ($4,100)- This price hasn't exactly caught up yet, and I believe you will see it rise within the next slate or two. Clarkson has played at least 25 or more minutes in his last three games. He has recorded 23.5, 23.5 and 33.5 fantasy point totals in those three games as well. He has scored at least 17 real points in those three, too. His 24.0% usage rate is 2nd on the team behind starting SG Collin Sexton . He is the lead guy off the bench for scoring, and I really like his price today in hopes he sees 25+ minutes once again.

 

1.) Frank Ntilikina  ($3,800)- This price is just down-right silly after Frankie Smoke's last game against Boston. He was able to achieve a higher fantasy point total on FanDuel (27.6 FPs) than on DraftKings (25.0 FPs) due to the fact that he had three steals and a block to add to his 10 points, three rebounds, and one assist. Obviously, we know Fanduel gives the extra point (three total) for blocks and steals, so this makes Frankie a much more attractive play on FanDuel, HOWEVER, I do not think you can over-look his price on DraftKings either at a small $3.1K! Either way, he saw 37 minutes against the Celtics last game, and if he is going to continue to start and play those amounts of minutes, I want to take advantage now, before his price rises soon.

 

2.) Meyers Leonard  ($4,200)- Leonard has been the starting PF for the Heat all season so far, and he has quietly taken advantage of the opportunities. Leonard has seen at least 24 minutes in his last two games, while recording 23.8 and 36.6 fantasy points in those two as well. Largely in part to his 5 total blocks in those two, which makes him a pretty appealing option for today's contest with the Rockets over on FanDuel. However, he is listed as a Center on FanDuel, but I really don't love the options at the C spot on FD anyways, so I totally don't mind Leonard here today. He's had at least seven or more rebounds in his last three of four, while also scoring at least eight or more real points in two of those four as well. It also helps to mention that the Rockets are allowing the 10th most fantasy points to the PF spot on the season so far as well.

 

3.) Danuel House  ( $5,000)- Staying in the Heat/Rockets game, House has been playing well so far this season. Playing lots of minutes, seeing at least 30 or more in three of the five they have played, while putting up 26 or more fantasy points in three of his last four as well. Miami has allowed the 2nd most fantasy points to the small forward spot, so this makes House a pretty appealing fantasy option for today, as there really isn't a ton of value on FanDuel, but I really like his price over there today for this up-tempo game!
