DraftKings

Austin Rivers , PG/SG $4,800 – Russell Westbrook is out for this one and while Eric Gordon is also back in the rotation there should still be plenty of bench minutes for Rivers here in this match up against the Pacers. In the past three games Rivers has hit value while exploding a rare 60 FP game against the Kings. Now, I don’t see that happening here today, but another 20-to-25 FP performance won’t be too difficult for him to achieve.

Aaron Holiday , PG/SG $4,600 – The Pacers are without starters Malcolm Brogdon and T.J. Warren today which will lead to more shot opportunities for Holiday who is already playing 30-minutes a night for the Pacers since the bubble play began. His upside as a starter today in this match up against the Rockets is elite.

Ivica Zubac , C $5,800 – Montrezl Harrell is not going to be active for this one which means we get another day of 25 minutes from Zubac. Over the past four games he is averaging 35 FP over those 25 minutes. Let’s cash in on this final chance for the Clippers “big man” to shine out before he is back to playing 18 minutes a night.

FanDuel

Fred VanVleet , SG $7,000 – After missing the Raptors game against the Bucks we see FVV back in the lineup and off the injury report. Now, while $7,000 isn’t exactly “cheap”, I do find it to be a great value for a player whose floor level of production is typically closer to 40 FP with greater upside. There have only been four games this season which VanVleet has taken less than 10 shots in a game this season and one of those was the other night against Memphis in which he still put up 40 FP. He is a staple of lineups for me today.

Darius Bazley , SF $4,800 – Bazley has taken full advantage of the increased opportunity to play and with most of the starters sitting out against the Suns he put up a career game, going for 22 points and 10 boards. He should continue to see 25-to-30 minutes in this contest and offers solid return on his price tag.

Jeff Green , PF $4,000 – I see zero reason why we should stop using Green right now. He is consistently playing minutes off the bench as their “small center” and he has scored double-figure points in each of the last four games. He needs just 20 FP to give us back 5x return.
