FanDuel DFS Guards
Brandon Knight (vs GS, $8,200)
It really does not matter who Knight is playing on a night to night basis, there is no one in the league that has better upside potential for their price tag. In his last six games, he has three games over 60 fantasy points, one of which is actually over 70 fantasy points. After a slow start to the season, he is shooting a lot more often, and it looks like Eric Bledsoe is allowing Knight to take over the team. Both Bledsoe and Knight will have to do everything they can tonight to keep the Phoenix Suns in this game against the undefeated Golden State Warriors. The Suns are pesky enough to keep this game close, so Knight should be able to put up another monster game against Klay Thompson and Stephen Curry tonight.
Evan Turner (vs WAS, $5,000)
Evan Turner gets a fantastic matchup against the Washington Wizards, and he is going to see 30 plus minutes tonight. Marcus Smart is out of the Boston Celtics lineup for about two weeks or so, and Turner has been playing well without him. Last game against the Philadelphia 76ers, Turner played 36 minutes and scored 30 plus fantasy points. He does not have the upside that someone like Avery Bradley does, but his floor is so much higher. He is a cash game play that will not fail you. He contributes in all three major stat categories, so it is almost impossible for him to not hit value if he continues to play 30 plus minutes, which he will. Use him in any format, but make him a priority in 50/50 contests.
FanDuel DFS Forwards
Paul George (vs CHI, $10,200)
Anytime PG13 is playing, I will be considering him. He has been unbelievable recently, as he’s averaging 47.5 fantasy points in 36.4 minutes per game this season. He’s a triple double threat every time he steps on the court, and he has scored 40+ fantasy points in nine straight games. Even with George Hill back in the lineup, George is shooting at a ridiculous rate. It'll be interesting to see if he gets the Jimmy Butler treatment tonight, but I honestly do not think that it will matter. George is elite. He has better upside than someone like LeBron James, and he can be used in any format tonight.
Robert Covington (at HOU, $5,100)
Robert Covington is easily the most obvious and best play on the board at the forward position. In his last game against the Boston Celtics, he scored 45 fantasy points in 35 minutes, shooting 4-of-16 from the field with 11 points, 14 rebounds, and 6 steals. He gets a great matchup against the Houston Rockets tonight, who love to push the pace, and he will easily hit value. Since playing regular minutes, he has yet to score under 30 fantasy points, and to hit value, he only need around 25. If he is not in your lineup tonight, you are indeed doing something wrong.
FanDuel DFS Centers
Nikola Vucevic (vs MIL, $6,600)
Nikola Vucevic is the best center on the board for his price tag. Of course, it always makes sense to use Andre Drummond, but Vucevic is coming back from a knee injury that forced him into low minutes. He should have had enough time to rest over the Thanksgiving break, and last game, he played 30 plus minutes, scoring over 45 fantasy points. He is an elite center in the league, and his price tag should be over $8,000 easily. Due to his last couple of games, which were disappointing due to his minutes, he comes at a Black Friday discount tonight. Use him.
