Welcome back to the Fantasy Alarm NBA DFS Value Vault! It is Sunday Fun Day, and we have a six-game main slate on tap for today. Let’s see what kind of value we have for this slate!
DRAFTKINGS
1.) Thad Young PF/C (CHI) $5,700 –
Rule Number One: Play BIGs against TOR. Not only that but Thad is now slated to move back into the starting lineup for tonight’s game against the Raptors with Patrick Williams heading to a bench role. Thad has really thrived in getting starting spots this season and has multiple 30+ fantasy point efforts in those scenarios. Thad has topped 30 fantasy points in his last eight-straight contests. We will easily take the value on Young today at his price on DraftKings.
2.) Chuma Okeke PF/C (ORL) $3,700 –
We don’t love the match-up here against the Heat, however Okeke has entered the starting five for the Magic lately and as a result he has seen 22, 23, 25, 25 and 27 minutes in his last five contests. Orlando is once again without Fournier, Ennis, Anthony, Gordon, and potentially Ross once again for this game against the Heat, so without a doubt, we can expect Okeke to see another decent number of minutes. He hasn’t exactly produced big numbers in terms of fantasy production, but he has topped 18 fantasy points in back-to-back games.
3.) Tomas Satoranksy PG (CHI) $3,200 –
Sticking with another Bull’s value here with Sato, who like Thad will be entering the starting five for tonight’s game against the Raptors with Coby White heading to a bench role. Satoransky has shown that he can flash some upside with a few games over 24 fantasy points under his belt for this season just in a reserve role. In games this season alone over his last 15 games where he has seen at least 23+ minutes, he recorded 31.3, 24.3, 32, 25.8, 18.0, 28.3, and 13.8 DraftKings fantasy points. Either way, the key here is that he only needs 16 fantasy points to hit 5x value, anything over that is PURE upside.
FANDUEL
1.) DeAndre’ Bembry SG (TOR) $4,100 –
The Raptors are still dealing with multiple cases due to health and safety protocols and this has three of the five starters for the Raps looking to miss tonight’s clash with the Bulls. Bembry has been on of the bench players that has benefited quite nicely with their absence as of late. Bembry has played 23, 27, 19, 36, and 25 minutes in that span while putting up 29.2, 25, and 21.8 FanDuel fantasy points in three of those five, but topped 21 FanDuel fantasy points in four of the games where he saw 23+ minutes. Feel very confident that he plays over 23 minutes in this game tonight and the value will once again be there for him, especially in the defensive statistics as he has recorded three blocks and five steals over his last four games played.
2.) Jaylen Nowell PG (MIN) $3,600 –
You simply cannot pass on the value here on Nowell over on FanDuel at his price. Nowell is $5.1K on DraftKings and with the minutes and usage he has seen over his last couple of games, I would easily say he likely has value even at that price against the Blazers tonight, the same team he faced last night and dropped 17 actual, five boards, and one assist in 28 minutes, which was good for 21.5 FanDuel fantasy points. He has topped 21 FanDuel fantasy points in three of his last five and has played 23+ minutes in four of his last five. We love attacking Portland at most spots, and this game should have an excellent, fast-paced, environment.
3.) Kenyon Martin SF (HOU) $3,500 –
Another price you likely will not be able to pass on here is Martin likely getting another good run with the Rockets still down John Wall , Christian Wood , Danuel House , Eric Gordon , and more. Martin has seen back-to-back 32- and 28-minute outings while putting up 30.8 and 39.5 FanDuel fantasy points as a result of the extended run. Another match up we don’t love here against Boston, however, the minutes and opportunities will be there once again for Martin.
