We have a nice five game slate for today's NBA contests and with the five games we have a few value plays we are targeting for our lineups!
All Format Play
Anfernee Simons, PG POR - Simons is an all platform play today with Damian Lillard ruled out. He is min-price over on Yahoo while just $3,500 on DraftKings and $4,200 on FanDuel. He may or may not start but the minutes should be there and he already has a role off the bench in which he has been very productive this season.
Yahoo
Nassir Little, SF POR - While Simons is the obvious value play here we could also see Little get some increased run with someone like Norman Powell shifting down to shooting guard and McCollum playing point guard. Little exploded off the bench for 40 FP a few nights ago over 27 minutes.
LaMarcus Aldridge, C BKN - Aldridge isn't playing much more than 20-to-23 minutes but he has been highly productive when on the floor this season. He has gone for over 30 FP in two of the last three games. The Thunder present a great matchup for him to exploit even in short bursts.
DraftKings
Eric Bledsoe, PG LAC - Bledsoe has gone for 30+ FP in each of the last three games which included going for nearly 40 FP last night against the Timberwolves. Bledsoe is averaging 29.3 FP over the last six games which would be 6x return on his price point today.
Luguentz Dort, SG OKC - I've been touting Dort for a few playbooks now and he has rewarded us with back-to-back performances of 36 FP. Today's matchup is a bit tougher but it is hard to look at his shooting volume right now and his overall contributions and not want a piece of Dort on this smaller sized slate.
FanDuel
Derrick Jones, SG/SF CHI - With Vucevic out of the lineup the other night we saw Jones come off the bench but play 20 minutes. He has seen 18-to-20 minutes a night as it is and FanDuel is definitely the favorable platform for him given the extra points you get for blocks and steals.
Isaiah Hartenstein, PF, LAC - Coming off the bench to spell Zubac, Hartenstein has been a very productive per minute player this season. With the Bulls missing Vucevic, Zubac is certainly a great play, but I think Hartenstein is in a great spot at his price to exceed the expected return.
