DraftKings
Cameron Johnson, PHX ($4,700)
Phoenix continues to be without a ton of their front court members which puts Johnson in the limelight. Johnson has started and has put up 36+ minutes in back-to-back games, notching 23+ DKP in each of them. The price continues to rise, but this game environment suits Johnson well. This game has a massive 230 total and both teams are top-10 in pace, so there should be plenty of offense to go around, including Johnson.
Devin Vassell, SA ($4,000)
The Spurs have a lot of guys that are priced very nicely in this spot against a struggling Bulls defense. Vassell has stepped up in a big way of late as he’s seen an uptick in playing time because he’s played so well. He has scored double-figure points in all but one of his last 12 games and has put up 23+ DKP in four of his last five and the minutes have followed, 29+ in two straight. GPP’s only, however.
FanDuel
Mo Bamba, ORL ($4,800)
The price stands out like a sore thumb. I know Bamba hasn’t been great, but the upside at this price is insane. Not only is Bamba a double-double threat, but he averages two blocks per game, which is the kicker on FanDuel considering the three-point bonus for one block/steal. Bamba isn’t going to play 35 minutes, but if he gets somewhere around 30, he could break the slate. Let’s not fail to mention that Detroit is the worst rebounding team in the league and they rank 25th in DRtg.
Amir Coffey, LAC ($4,700)
This price just seems…wrong, right? Especially when you factor in how well Coffey has played lately. In each of the last two games, Coffey has scored 19+ actual points, 5+ rebounds and has put up 36.7 FDP. Coffey is benefitting tremendously from guys being out, but all of those guys are out here once again. In the last two weeks without Paul George and Marcus Morris, Coffey has averaged .93 FP/min, which is a great output for a guy under 5K. I really like everything about this play tonight.
Yahoo! Fantasy
Keldon Johnson, SA ($18)
I love the price for Johnson considering the type of rhythm he’s currently in. Johnson poured in 16+ actual points in three straight along with 27+ Y! pts as well. Johnson failed to score 20+ Y! pts in all but one game over his last 10, showing us the consistency he’s playing with. The Bulls have had issues guarding forwards and Johnson could definitely capitalize on that. As a matter of fact, Chicago has just struggled to defend in general in January, ranking 23rd in DRtg as a team.
Luke Kennard, LAC ($14)
Today’s slate really doesn’t feature too much value but Kennard has been in a good groove lately. Over the last three games, he’s topped 28 minutes and has put up 24.5+ Y! pts to go along with the minutes. He’s flashed a 40+ FP ceiling as well, which is impressive no matter how you slice it. With Marcus Morris out, there’s no reason to think Kennard won’t continue to be the primary source of bench scoring for the Clippers here.
