Welcome back, FANation! This is your Tuesday, February 25th edition of the Fantasy Alarm NBA DFS Value Vault! There is a 7-game medium slate on tap for tonight, so let’s see what kind of value we have brewing so far.
DRAFTKINGS
1. Juan Toscano-Anderson ($4,100)- JTA has now seen 25 and 28 minutes in his last two games, as it seems as if the Warriors are allowing their youth movement to commence a bit earlier in the season. Draymond is a game-time decision for tonight, and they Warriors just lack depth in the back-court. JTA has produced very well in his last two games, putting up 30 and 37.5 DK points, scoring 10 and 16 points, grabbing six and eight rebounds, dishing three and five assists, along with three total steals, and three blocks as well over those last two contests. Hard not to believe that Toscano-Anderson won’t continue to see valuable run off the bench, especially if Dray will keep his old body on the bench.
2. P.J. Washington ($4,900)- Washington has seen a rise in his minutes, and that has also resulted in his production increase over his last couple games. The Hornets are bad, let’s get that fact out of the way, however, they need to continue to play their young guys for experience. So, I would highly expect them to continue to give PJ, Monk, Bridges, Graham, etc. lots of run, even in blow-out situations, which there will be more than there are not this second half of the season. Nonetheless, PJ has played 30 or more minutes in his last four-straight, while also notching out 34.3 and 33.8 DK points over his last two. The Pacers are exploitable in the front-court, and we have mentioned this many times. Washington has been doing several things decently well in his last few games, grabbing five or more boards in his last five of six, dishing at least three or more assists over his last three, while totaling eight steals and three blocks over his last five contests as well.
3. Harrison Barnes ($5,300)- Harry gets a nice revenge spot tonight when he returns to his old stomping grounds in the Bay area. Not just the revenge narrative here for Barnes however, he has been pretty good lately. Harry has gone for 34 or more DK points in four of his last five, while scoring 23 or more actual points in his last three of five as well. He has grabbed four or more rebounds in his last six of eight, while dishing three or more assists in his last six of seven. Also, has recorded four steals on his last four to boot. Decent value here in a game that could see some pace, as the Warriors have run with the 8th fastest pace over their last 10 games.
FANDUEL
1. Monte Morris ($4,400)- This is a pure homer play, and I am not a Nuggets fan. Simple fact that Monte has played really well in Denver lately, and has been getting nice run as well. Morris has now seen 22, 25, and 31 minutes over his last three in Denver, while also notching out 24, 26.4, and 34.2 FD points as well. Morris also has scored at least 12 or more actual points in his last three home games as well, and has recorded at least two steals in his last four of six contests, making him a bit more valuable on FD for the extra point for steals. Not to mention, he is $400 cheaper on FD as well.
2. OG Anunoby ($4,400)- A true gut-play here on OG, and the fact that this is a major pace-up spot for the Raptors against the Bucks who are fresh off a back-to-back with another one of the fastest teams in the league last night in the Wizards. OG hasn’t been consistent at all lately, but he does have a 31 and 55 FD point efforts to his name in his last four games, and it is apparently important that we mention that MIL has allowed the MOST fantasy points to opposing SFs over their last 10 games. OG has the upside, if he can hit his shots, the minutes are there, as he has saw at least 32 or more mins in his last three of four.
3. Eric Bledsoe ($5,800)- Not exactly sure how you can over-look Bledsoe here at this price, which just so happens to be $1.1k cheaper on FD than he is over on DK at $6.9K. That’s quite the price gap, and Bledsoe has been in good form as of late. Bledsoe has topped 40 FD points in his last three of five, while also eclipsing 33 FD points in his last four of five in road travels. The price alone makes him pretty much a lock spot for one of the PG spots on FD, as you must pick two. Simply put, this price is too low for this spot, being the 2nd highest game total on the board tonight in what will be a nice, fast-paced affair.
