What's up FANation! We have a five-game main slate beginning at 1:30 p.m. Most starters and most significant players will sit today. None of the games impact the playoffs as seedings are set. Pay attention to the news and starting lineups as there could be more a lot more value opening up.
DRAFTKINGS
Tyler Herro , SG MIA ($5,700)
Jimmy Butler , Bam Adebayo and Goran Dragic will sit for Miami. Jae Crowder . Andre Iguodala and Derrick Jones Jr. are questionable. Miami has nothing to play for and they shouldn't restrict the minutes on the rookie. Herro played at least 33 minutes in three of the last four games. He had 45.5 DK points in 38 minutes against the Thunder in the last game and had 51 DK points in 36 minutes against the Suns on August 8. In the last four games, he is averaging 23 points, 5.8 rebounds and 4.8 assists. He has taken 55 shots the last four games and should see similar usage in this spot against the Pacers.
T.J. McConnell , PG IND ($4,200)
The Pacers have already ruled out Victor Oladipo , T.J. Warren and Myles Turner . It wouldn't be surprising to see more players sit. McConnell should see a good amount of minutes. He played 23 minutes on Wednesday against the Rockets and had six points, seven rebounds, seven assists and two steals for 28.25 DK points. He is averaging 1.18 DK points per minute.
Kyle O'Quinn , C PHI ($3,500)
It makes no sense to play Joel Embiid . He is listed as questionable with an ankle injury. It's the last game of the night at 9 p.m. ET. If Embiid is out, O'Quinn should start and he was excellent on Tuesday when Embiid sat. He played 32 minutes against the Suns and had nine points, 10 rebounds, 11 assists, two steals and one block for 45 DK points. O'Quinn is a play if Embiid and Al Horford sit.
FANDUEL
Darius Bazley , SF OKC ($5,200)
Bazley has been playing great the last few games and with the key players likely out, he will get a chance to do more. He has taken at least 13 shots from the field in four consecutive games. Over the last four games, he has 22.8, 34.9, 43.5 and 42.8 FD points. He had a double-double against the Suns on Monday in 34 minutes and fell one rebound short of one on Wednesday in 26 minutes.
Chris Boucher , C TOR ($5,000)
Boucher is fun to watch and I was hoping to see him more during the season. He showed flashes at times, but has looked more confident in bubble play when give minutes. He played 29 minutes against the Bucks on Monday and had 25 points, 11 rebounds, two assists, two steals, two blocks and hit three three-pointers for 53.2 FD points. On Wednesday against the 76ers, Boucher played 22 minutes and had 19 points, nine rebounds, four three-pointers and four blocks for 40.8 FD points. Boucher should get a good amount of minutes against Denver.
Justin Holiday , SF IND ($4,600)
Holiday will benefit with Oladipo, Turner and Warren already ruled out. He played 28 minutes in the last game with only Warren of that trio sitting and had 18 points, six rebounds, two steals, one assist and one block for 35.7 FD points.
