Welcome back to the Fantasy Alarm NBA DFS Value Vault! We have nine games on the main slate for this wonderful Saturday night! Let’s see what kind of value is present on this slate to help fit in the studs!
DRAFTKINGS
1.) Derrick White PG/SG (SAS) $4,700
With Dejounte Murray a GTD, this likely may put a few more minutes into the hands of White, who played 25 minutes in the most recent Spurs game as he gets back into playing shape. White has now played 22, 21, and 25 minutes since returning from injury and has also put up 27 or more fantasy points in two of the three games. He gets a more-than-generous matchup here with the Rockets, not to mention a pace-up spot to boot. White may only see around 28 minutes in this game, but that should be all he needs to eclipse value at his price.
2.) Denzel Valentine SG (CHI) $4,000
Valentine has now dropped double-digit scoring efforts in back-to-back games while seeing 20 minutes of action in both games due to the Bulls being very thin in the frontcourt. Valentine was also able to accumulate 25.5 and 30.5 DraftKings points in those two games as well, and he’s taken a total of 22 shot attempts with 4+ boards, 2+ dimes, and a total of four steals. With this being a back-to-back, we could likely see Valentine pick up a few minutes against this same Orlando team they faced last night where he put up 25.5 DK fantasy points. If and when, given the minutes, Valentine is a FP/M beast, and it has shown over the last two games.
3.) Mike Muscala PF/C (OKC) $3,800
With both Horford and Roby now OUT for tonight, Muscala should be turned to for a spot-start at the Center position on a very thin roster here for the Thunder. He gets a lovely match up against one of the worst Center-defending teams in the Minnesota T-Wolves. We have same a few instances this season where Muscala has topped 25-30 fantasy points in extended run situations. Like the play at the price and he could be in-line for a huge amount of mins.
FANDUEL
1.) DeMarcus Cousins C (HOU) $5,900
We know the rodeo here with Christian Wood out for the Rockets. Cousins should be in line for another start and we have seen recently what he can do with starter’s minutes. In the three games he saw back-to-back-to-back starts and seeing at least 30+ mins, he put up 50, 58, and 36 FanDuel fantasy points as a result. With Jakob Poeltl likely getting the starting nod once again for the Spurs here with Aldridge still out, Boogie should have his way with this frontcourt of the Spurs.
2.) Joe Harris SF (BKN) $5,300
We can take the smaller price on Harris over on FanDuel, but he will be in play on both sites tonight with the Nets already ruling OUT Kyrie Irving and Kevin Durant looking to sit as well with contact tracing. Harris has topped 28 fantasy points in three of his last four games and continues to see over 30 minutes a game. He should be the second option for the Nets tonight against the Sixers, and we know how bad the Sixers have been against wings, right?? Harris likely ends up a bit chalky, but it is good chalk.
3.) Cole Anthony PG (ORL) $5,000
FanDuel didn’t really move Anthony’s price much at all for tonight’s rubber-match with the Bulls at home, the same Bulls he dropped 37.3 FanDuel fantasy points just last night. Anthony turned in a 17-point, four-board, nine-dime (one assist from a dub-dub), and two-steal performance in 32 minutes. The Bulls are allowing the second-most fantasy points to the PG spot, and Anthony is just once again too cheap tonight.
