NBA DFS Value Vault: February 27

DRAFTKINGS

Jarred Vanderbilt , PF/C MIN ($4,100)

If we knew Vanderbilt would get minutes, he would be a lock. He played a season-high 34 minutes in his last game against the Bulls and had 16 points, six rebounds, four steals and one assist and hit all five shots from the field for 32.5 DK points. Malik Beasley starts his 12-game suspension and Vanderbilt should be one of the players that benefits and the matchup is great against the Wizards, who rank 27^th in defensive efficiency and are one of the worst rebounding teams.

Derrick Rose , PG/SG NYK ($5,300)

Elfrid Payton is listed as doubtful and when Payton sat in the last game, Rose got the start. He played 28 minutes against the Kings and had 18 points, six assists and three rebounds for 30.25 DK points. He is averaging 1.1 DK points per minute and should play close to 30 minutes. The Pacers defense hasn't been as good lately and they are playing on consecutive nights and three times in four days. Immanuel Quickley is also in play if Payton sits.

Trey Lyles , PF/C SA ($3,800)

Make sure he's in the starting lineup. The Spurs are still short-handed as Keldon Johnson , Rudy Gay , Derrick White and Devin Vassell due to health and safety protocols. DeMar DeRozan will return and LaMarcus Aldridge is listed as questionable with wrist soreness. Aldridge came off the bench last game and Lyles started. Lyles played 26 minutes and had eight points, five rebounds, one assist, one steal and one block for 19.25 DK points. He also played 26 minutes on Jan. 9 and had 23 DK points. The Pelicans are 29^th in defensive efficiency.

FANDUEL

Joe Ingles , SG UTAH ($4,500)

Mike Conley is out tonight and Ingles will likely enter the starting lineup. Ingles had some big games when Conley was sidelined for a period with a hamstring injury. He's going to score more and have the ball in his hands more. He can get 25-30 FD points, which is great value for the price.

Seth Curry , SG PHI ($4,700)

Curry is in a good spot here. He has a 19.4 percent usage rate over the last four games and the 76ers will be without Tobias Harris . Curry has played at least 35 minutes in four of the last five games and has at least 27.6 FD points in three of the last four games. He is averaging 15.3 points over the last four games and the Cavaliers are 24^th in defensive efficiency.

Luguentz Dort , SG OKC ($4,200)

Dort had 19 points, three rebounds and two assists for 27.6 FD points last night. He has played at least 30 minutes in five straight games and had at least 20.3 FD points in four. The Nuggets defense hasn't been as good lately and they rank 21^st in defensive efficiency.
