FanDuel DFS Guards

Tyreke Evans (vs HOU, $7,100)

Tyreke Evans did not look great in his last game, which was against the Milwaukee Bucks, as he only played 24 minutes and posted 21.4 fantasy points. However, in the game prior, against the Detroit Pistons, he posted over 40 fantasy points in only 31 minutes on the court. He is a rather inconsistent player, but he is great for tournaments tonight against the Houston Rockets. The Rockets are horrible on defense, so Evans should see a ton of wide open shots, and the Rockets also love to push the pace of the game, so Evans will see added shots, assists, and rebounds. Eric Gordon is out for the New Orleans Pelicans, so Evans is an even more important aspect to the offense. Do not use him in 50/50 contests, but fire away in tournaments, as he has great upside for his mid-range price tag.

Tyler Johnson (at CHI, $4,200)

The Miami Heat are dealing with a ton of injuries right now. Hassan Whiteside has been banged up. Dwyane Wade has been questionable to play for a couple of games now. Goran Dragic, Beno Udrih, and a ton of other players are banged up. That has led to Tyler Johnson playing huge minutes over the past couple of games. In fact, he has right around 35 minutes per game in his last four games. He is not all that impressive when it comes to fantasy production, as he only has over 20 fantasy points in five of his last seven games. In two of his last four games, he has under 15 fantasy points, so he is very risky. Do not use him in 50/50 contests, but he should be able to do some damage against the Chicago Bulls. It will definitely depend on the Heat's injuries. If everyone decides to suit up, which is not likely, avoid Johnson.

LeBron James (vs MIN, $9,900)

LeBron James had something to prove in his last game, against the Chicago Bulls, as the Cleveland Cavaliers recently fired their head coach. He responded the way that only King James knows how to respond - with 26 points, 13 rebounds, nine assists, and over 60 fantasy points. Tonight, he should be able to dominate the Minnesota Timberwolves as well. The Timberwolves are not great on defense, and James always has triple-double potential. If the game stays close, which it could, James will play right around 40 minutes. He is going to continue to play well until everyone knows that firing the head coach was the right move. Expect James to put forth a lot more effort for the time being. Use him in any format.

Harrison Barnes (vs SA, $4,800)

It looks like Harrison Barnes is going to start seeing over 30 minutes in every game from here on out. His injury is behind him, and he should continue to play well. In his last game, against the Indiana Pacers, he posted 25.7 fantasy points in 35 minutes. He generally scores more often than he did last game, so he does have double-double potential. Barnes has over 20 fantasy points in two straight games now, and I expect that to continue for quite some time. The San Antonio Spurs do have a great defense, but I'm expecting that Kawhi Leonard is going to focus his efforts on Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, and Draymond Green. Barnes will slip through the cracks. He will see a few wide open shots, and hopefully he will be able to take advantage. Use him in any format because his price tag is so low right now.

 

FanDuel DFS Centers

Rudy Gobert (vs DET, $7,000)

Rudy Gobert has great upside, especially against the Detroit Pistons tonight, as Andre Drummond really does not know how to play defense. Gobert is a fantastic rebounder, and he has also figured out how to score around the basket. In two of his last four games, he has over 40 fantasy points, and it is safe to say that he is a mini-Drummond. Against the Los Angeles Lakers, he grabbed 18 rebounds and scored 18 points in only 30 minutes of action. The Utah Jazz have been playing him a lot more minutes of recent, as he has played over 40 minutes in two of his last three games. He should play over 30 minutes tonight against the Pistons, and his upside is basically limitless. Use him in tournaments for the most part, but he should at least hit value, so using him in 50/50 contests is not the worst of ideas.
