Welcome back to the Fantasy Alarm NBA DFS Value Vault! On this fine Sunday, we have eight games on the main slate for this evening, so let’s see what kind of value we can dig up!
DRAFTKINGS
1.) D’Angelo Russell SG (MIN) $6,500 –
Usually a bit more of the price than I like to throw in the Value Vault, but the emphasis of this article is to bring you value, just not salary-savers. With that said, I like the price discount we still have here on Russell, especially on DraftKings. Russell has gone for 40+ fantasy points in two of his last three contests played in 24, 24, and 29 minutes of action. He has taken 19, 15, and 18 shot attempts in those three with 23 of those being via the 3-point shot. He has also been able to chip in a few rebounds and a handful of assists lately and will have the occasional steal or block, so his line can add up rather quickly. Gets a good match up here at home against the Bulls.
2.) Reggie Jackson PG/SG (LAC) $5,100 –
Love the price here on Jackson as Kawhi Leonard has already been listed OUT for rest. Jackson is already benefiting tremendously with no Patrick Beverley , and now only has to deal with Paul George for usage share. Jackson is fresh off a near 50-fantasy point effort last time out against the Rockets and this matchup is pretty prime here again against his FORMER team in the Detroit Pistons.
3.) Kira Lewis Jr. PG/SG (NOP) $4,200 –
The Pelicans are still without both Lonzo Ball and Nickeil Walker-Alexander, and Kira only played 21 minutes in his return game from a three-game absence. Lewis Jr. He turned in a shade under 1.0 FP/M in that return game with two points (on four shots), two boards, four dimes, three steals and a block. The Pelicans get a date with one of the worst teams in the league here in the Cavs and this is a nice spot for him to pick up 25+ minutes hopefully with the injuries.
FANDUEL
1.) Isaiah Hartenstein C (CLE) $5,600 –
What a pick-up Hartenstein has turned out to be for this Cav’s team. HE has put up 39, 34, and 44 fantasy points over his last three games while seeing 27, 27, and 25 minutes on the floor. Two of the three games recorded a double-double, including a total of 15 assists, six blocks, and three steals. As long as he is producing this way, we have to consider him.
2.) Marcus Morris PF (LAC) $4,700 –
Morris is also now in a good spot here without Leonard on the floor. With Leonard off the floor, it is Morris that sees the biggest bump in usage up to 22.8% overall with a modes 0.86 FP/M. Morris has eclipsed 21 fantasy points in his last three of four games played and gets a really soft match up here against the Pistons, who could be without Jerami Grant once again. Like the spot, he should see a nice up-tick in usage here.
3.) Josh Okogie SF (MIN) $3,500 –
Okogie is the stone-cold minimum price on both sites today and he started last game against the Celtics two nights ago and played a whopping 37 minutes of action en route to 33.1 FanDuel fantasy points off of 16 points, three boards, one dime, and four steals. As long as he gains another start, which he very well could here today against the Bulls, he will be a very nice value once again.
