Welcome back, FANation! This is your Sunday edition of the Fantasy Alarm NBA DFS Value Vault! We have an unusual 8-game main slate on tap for this Sunday evening, so let's talk about some value, shall we?
DRAFTKINGS
- Jeff Green ($3,100)- Will be the first to say that Green is JUST A GPP dart, but I also feel he has trended up nicely over last couple of games. Now, I want to state he did start the 2nd half of the Rocket's last game, en route to a 29 minute outing featuring 20 points, eight rebounds, two dimes, a block, and three swats. However, must also mention that the Rockets were without Russell Westbrook as well in this one. Nonetheless, Green has now played 20 and 29 minutes in back-to-back games, and he has proven he can be a great asset off the bench. He is near minimum price here on DK, and this should be a decently fast game with the Rockets running with the 10th fastest PACE over their L10, as well as the Magic running with the surprisingly, 12th ranked PACE over their last ten as well. If Green continues to see moderate mins off the bench, he should exceed this value easily, as he has put up 23 and 41 DK points over his last two.
- Duncan Robinson ($5,100)- DRob has been shooting absolutely lights-out over his past two games. He has shot 26 total three-point attempts over his last two, while making 17 of those shots. That is insane. He has also played 34 or more minutes in his last three straight, while topping 34 DK points in his last two. We know this game will be a very nice pace-up spot for the Heat going into WAS to face the 3rd fastest team in the league, and this game features a 232 total at the moment. Let's couple these facts with another facet, the Wiz are allowing the 3rd most DK FPs to opposing SG/SFs over their last 10 as well. Love the spot, price is fair for the minutes and upside he brings.
- Aron Baynes ($5,400)- Everyone's darling from two nights ago where Baynes went off for 69.5 DK points at a minimum salary when Deandre Ayton was eventually ruled out of the game before tip. Well, Baynes price did go up however, but the Suns are still without Ayton for tonight's tilt with the Bucks. So, meaning that Baynes will highly more than likely play around the same 36 minutes that he saw in their last game, and also the fact that the Bucks are allowing the 6th most DK points to opposing Centers over their last 10, AND this game features two of the faster teams in the league as well with a 226 game total, I still think there is rather decent value on Baynes even at his newly risen price.
FANDUEL
- Delon Wright ($4,500)- Delon should get nice run once again tonight, as the Mavericks have already ruled out Seth Curry , and they also have Tim Hardaway Jr. and Dorian Finney-Smith , sitting with a questionable tag after missing his last game, and already missing Jalen Brunson . Delon saw 29 minutes last game without just THJ and DFS, so if two of these three, or all three happen to sit for today's match with the Pacers, he could likely be looking at around 30 minutes of floor-time. Delon put up 11 points, eight rebounds, five dimes, and three steals in the Mav's last game, and really shows he can fill the sheet when given ample time on the court. The opponent the Mavs are facing in the Pacers, have also allowed the MOST FD points to opposing SGs over their last ten games.
- Derrick White ($4,700)- White is actually $200 cheaper on DK, but considering he has seven total blocks and three total steals over his last three games, I decided that I would not care about price and say he is a go on both formats as a value guard. White has topped 24 fantasy points in six of his last eight games, while notching out 34.4 FD points in the Spur's most recent game. White has had to step-up as a scorer with the Spurs missing LaMarcus Aldridge their last few games, and LMA is slated to be sitting in this one also. The Spurs travel into CLE to take on the Cavs, who have been dreadful all season against the guard spot, and are just not a very good team. White is a staple for the Spurs on the first unit, and has carried the 3rd highest usage rate at 24.7% over the Spur's last three contest. White is a consistent value in my opinion, and should continue to put up 25-30 fantasy points a night.
- Tristan Thompson ($5,100)- TT returned from a 3-game absence and jumped right back into the lead role with Drummond sitting, which he is also questionable again for today's match-up with the Spurs. TT played 37 minutes in his return game, putting up nine points, thirteen rebounds, five assists, and two blocks, good for 35.1 FD points. Today, the Cavs welcome in the Spurs to town, who have allowed the 8th most FD points to opposing Centers over their last 10 games, and as mentioned above, are without LMA still. Love the spot and price here for TT, and hopefully we get Drummond to sit another game.
