We have a massive 12-game slate on tap for us tonight and that means the player pool is MASSIVE. We’re still unsure about a few players suiting up and that could mean even more value opens up. As usual, stay hip to the news leading up to the 7 pm EST roster lock so you can stay up to date on ALL the value that’s out there. For now, here are some of my favorites on the slate.

DraftKings
($4,900)
I like Evan Fournier in this match-up and I like the price point. I like his FanDuel price at 4.5K as well, but I like the three-point bonus potential he can get on DraftKings. When he gets hot, he’s a guy that can knock down five threes in a game. He faces off against the Trailblazers who are ranked 29th in DRtg since the All-Star break. Nobody has defended the three-point line worse than Portland this year as they rank 30th there as well. Portland is seventh in pace since the All-star break, so a nice bump for the Knicks here as well. Fournier is a GPP option only due to the volatility he shows offensively at times.
($4,500)
Atlanta said that it was a non-covid issue that forced Danilo Gallinari to miss the Hawks last game, but he’s listed as probable for tonight’s contest. With John Collins out of the lineup, we should see Gallo starting at power forward. In 10 starts this year, Gallinari has averaged 29.4 minutes, 13.4 points, 4.5 rebounds, and 1.2 assists per game. He’s been good lately too, putting up 26+ DKP in three straight games. Charlotte is 23rd in DRtg and third in pace this year, putting the Atlanta offense in the spotlight.
FanDuel
($5,000)
I especially like Jordan Clarkson on FanDuel and Yahoo! Fantasy tonight at his price point. With Bojan Bogdanovic and Danuel House ruled out, he’ll likely continue to fill a 30-minute role for the Jazz tonight. With both of those guys and Joe Ingles (traded) off the floor this year, Clarkson has a robust 30% usage rate, but when you roster Clarkson, just know it could be the best of times, but boy can it be the worst of times. Clarkson scored 44 actual points and 52 FDP two games ago while scoring eight and 12.9 respectively last time out.
($4,600)
Jaden McDaniels has been ruled out and Jarred Vanderbilt is questionable and if he sits, all systems go for Taurean Prince. He played 27 minutes against the Spurs last time out and basically put up 27 FDP in response. In five of the last six games, he’s topped 20 minutes, he’s put up at least 24 FDP. Since the All-Star break, the Lakers are 25th in DRtg and they’ve played at the fifth-fastest pace in the league to boot.
Yahoo! Fantasy
($19)
The disrespect! Portland is throwing Trendon Watford out there for a boatload of minutes and I know the return of Justise Winslow is possible here, but it doesn’t feel like Watford is the guy that’ll lose playing time. Watford has scored 22+ actual points in three straight games and has topped 40 DKP two games in a row. Since the All-Star break, Watford has averaged 1.02 FP/min, so it’s safe to say Portland should keep giving their recently extended big man 30+ minutes to do his thing.
($16)
Since the All-Star break, the two teams that are second and third in pace in the NBA are the Spurs and the Thunder. This game could and most likely will turn into a track meet. It could also be played without Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, which would be detrimental to the Thunder as a whole, but open EVERYTHING up for Mann who will likely lead the team in usage. The Thunder are missing a LOT of pieces to their rotation, but when Josh Giddey, SGA, and Lu Dort are off the floor, Mann has a usage rate north of 28%.
