FanDuel DFS Guards

John Wall (at DET, $9,400)

John Wall makes for a fantastic play tonight against the Detroit Pistons. He has been dealing with a sore knee, but the Washington Wizards are still in playoff contention, and the Detroit Pistons are standing in their way. Wall has over 35 fantasy points in six straight games now, and over 40 fantasy points in three of his last five games. The Pistons are not a great defense, and Wall is going to take over the offense if he has to. Use him in all formats - both 50/50 contests and tournaments.

Jamal Crawford (at UTA, $4,600)

Jamal Crawford did not play in his last game, which was against the Los Angeles Lakers, but he did look solid a few games prior to that. The Los Angeles Clippers have locked up their playoff spot, but it is unlikely that they continue to bench Crawford for the rest of the season. A few other starts may be benched, including Chris Paul and JJ Redick. If either Paul or Redick are benched tonight. Crawford should take over the offense. The Utah Jazz are not great against opposing shooting guards, and Crawford has over 30 fantasy points in two of his last three games. In fact, he posted over 45 fantasy points in 40 minutes on the court against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Use him in tournaments at least.

 

FanDuel DFS Forwards

Giannis Antetokounmpo (at BOS, $9,700)

Giannis Antetokounmpo is really heating up against to end this 2015-2016 season. He has over 49.5 fantasy points in three straight games now, posting over 50 fantasy points against the Orlando Magic and Chicago Bulls prior to posting 49.8 fantasy points against the Cleveland Cavaliers. The Boston Celtics are not going to slow him down, as they are horrible against opposing small forwards. When Alphabet really starts to heat up, it is tough to cool him off. His price tag is still rather high, but he is hitting value, so there is no reason not to use him in 50/50 contests. His upside is over 70 fantasy points in a single game, so using him in tournaments also makes a lot of sense.

Julius Randle (at NO, $6,500)

Julius Randle gets a great matchup tonight against the New Orleans Pelicans. The Pelicans are one of the worst teams in the league against opposing big men, and Randle has been playing well of recent. In his last four games, he has over 30 fantasy points in three of them. He is playing right around 30 minutes per game for the Los Angeles Lakers right now, and he has great upside. Randle is a rebounding machine, posting double-digit rebounds in four straight games. Last game, which was against the Los Angeles Clippers, he grabbed 20 rebounds. He also knows how to score, so a double-double is well within his grasp.

 

FanDuel DFS Centers

Hassan Whiteside (at ORL, $8,600)

Hassan Whiteside is one of the best center options in the league. He gets a great matchup tonight against Nikola Vucevic and the Orlando Magic. The Magic are horrible against opposing centers, and Whiteside should be able to take advantage of that. He has over 40 fantasy points in four of his last six games. He has played under 30 minutes in two straight games now, but he should play over 30 tonight. There is really no reason to avoid the shot-blocking center from Miami. He is going to continue to season the same way that he started it - strong.

Cole Aldrich (at UTA, $3,700)

Cole Aldrich has been playing around 20 minutes per game for the Los Angeles Clippers of recent. It is unclear who will start for the Clippers tonight, as they have clinched a playoff birth and could sit some of their star players. If either Blake Griffin or DeAndre Jordan find their way to the bench, Aldrich gets a bump. Even if both of them play, Aldrich should play around 20 minutes tonight against the Utah Jazz, which is enough time for him to hit value. He has great upside, and he generally scores over one fantasy point per minute. Use him in tournaments, unless Jordan or Griffin sit; then use him in all formats.
