Going to get right to the good stuff today with 10 games on the schedule. The point guard position is filled with great mid-tier options in Deron Williams, Michael Carter-Williams, and Jeff Teague. All three of these players should exceed value tonight. The Hawks have had three days off in a row, which is why I believe their starters are going to play regular minutes tonight. Stephen Curry is the best player at the position because he costs a lot less than Chris Paul and has dominated the Mavericks this season.
The shooting guard position also has a couple of great mid-tier plays in Monta Ellis and Bradley Beal. Ellis' usage rate will increase with Parsons out. Plus, his low price tag makes him one of the best value plays of the day. DeMar DeRozan is a better GPP option as he does have a great matchup, but he has also failed to reach value in three out of the past five games. James Ennis becomes a sensational punt play if Dwyane Wade doesn't play. Otherwise, target Courtney Lee as a punt play. Louis Williams continues to be a decent low-tier option with Kyle Lowry out.
The small forward position is really lacking talent tonight as Gordon Hayward has the highest price tag at the position, but will struggle to reach or exceed value. Another good reason to avoid Hayward is because the mid-tier options can put up similar fantasy numbers as him. Nicolas Batum and Tobias Harris are safe mid-tier options to target. Jeff Green has excelled with Tony Allen out of the lineup, and he should have no problem exceeding value tonight on Fanduel. Al-Farouq Aminu and James Johnson are risky GPP options that don't cost that much. Otto Porter remains a solid value option if Paul Pierce does not play.
Blake Griffin is the best option at the power forward position because he is going to feast on the weak Denver front court. Anthony Davis still has a ridiculously high price tag despite not reaching 55 fantasy points on Fanduel in seven straight games (he would have to produce 61 FP on FD just to reach five times his price tag). Paul Millsap is crazy cheap on Draftkings. Marvin Williams continues to be a great low-tier option with Cody Zeller out.
The center position is top heavy as there are plenty of top-tier players worth using tonight. Andre Drummond has been on rampage with Greg Monroe out, but his high price tag and inconsistency makes him a GPP play only. Nikola Vucevic's price tag is not that high despite his ability to produce big fantasy numbers. Bismack Biyombo is the best value option at the position, especially if Al Jefferson does not play.
