We have a six-game main slate on Saturday with some potential value still to open up. We’re unsure if Brandon Ingram will return and Josh Hart is still too cheap if he doesn’t. Caris LeVert, Dillon Brooks and Jaylen Brown are all in limbo too, so plenty of time to find out if more value is going to open up.
DraftKings
Eric Bledsoe vs. MIN ($4,900)
Yeah I like the Clippers value. So what? They’ve been good and they’re not getting any respect with their pricing and it’s a good match-up here. Bledsoe played 40 minutes last time out and has topped 28 DKP in three of four games. These two teams are both top-10 in pace and Minnesota is bottom-10 in DvP against shooting-guards. He’s also catching the wolves on the second leg of a back-to-back, coming off two straight double-double scoring game
Ivica Zubac vs. MIN ($5,000)
With Marcus Morris ruled out and Serge Ibaka in the G-League, it’s all Zubac all the time. He’s been tremendous lately, averaging 29.2 minutes and 30.5 DKP/game. The minutes trending up the way they have been is all we can ask for and he’s paying the minutes off in gold. He has three double-doubles in his last four games and the Wolves are 28th against the center position in terms of DvP. The Wolves have the worst rebounding rate in basketball and Zubac should have no problem feasting on this front court.
FanDuel
Kentavious Caldwell-Pope vs. ORL ($4,700)
We’re not playing KCP because he’s a high usage guy or because he’s going to give us 10 assists, but he does a little of everything. Especially in the steals department where he’s had two or more in four straight and in five of six. Orlando is 27th in turnover rate, which bodes well for KCP coming out with a big steals game. With Beal out of the lineup he will get a few more shot opportunities and should be on the floor more than normal.
Yahoo!
Spencer Dinwiddie vs. ORL ($22)
This is a great spot for Dinwiddie to put up a BIG number as Bradley Beal has been ruled out. With Beal out, Dinwiddie has a 31.2% USG rate and averages 1.33 FP/min, both leading the team. Dinwiddie has 26.8 FP or more in six of his last eight games. The Magic are 26th in DRtg this year and are 21st in DvP against point-guards. Dinwiddie has a ceiling game in the cards for Saturday’s slate.
Seth Curry vs. IND ($15)
Sure Tobias Harris is back, but Joel Embiid is still out. Without Embiid last game, Curry put up 30 FP and has topped 27 DKP in four of five overall. He has a 21% USG and averages .96 FP/min with Embiid off of the floor this season. Curry’s a high usage player that can really light it up when he gets it going. IND is a bottom-10 defense against shooting-guards this year in terms of DvP.
