Welcome to another day of fantasy basketball. The season has been wildly surprising and fun so far. Let's hope that it becomes a little bit more predictable.

Here are my recommendations for October 30th, 2016. Happy Hallo-eve!

FanDuel DFS Guards

Giannis Antetokounmpo - SG, at DET ($9,500)

Giannis Antetokounmpo is one of the most athletic players in the NBA. He has the ability to contribute in all stat categories, which is why his price tag is so high on FanDuel. In his first two games of the season, he posted 52.3 fantasy points against the Charlotte Hornets and 42.7 fantasy points against the Brooklyn Nets. Tonight, he gets a good matchup against the Detroit Pistons' loose defense. For some reason, at the point guard position 'Alphabet' is not assisting the ball as much as he should be. That should come with experience, and once it does, he is liable to triple-double every night he takes the court.

Stephen Curry - PG, at PHX ($8,800)

Giannis Antetokounmpo is more expensive than the Golden State Warriors' MVP Stephen Curry. In his first two games of the season, Curry posted only around 30 fantasy points in each. The San Antonio Spurs are a solid defensive team, but the New Orleans Pelicans are not. Curry should adjust to playing with Kevin Durant sooner rather than later, making him a great tournament option while his price tag is low. The Phoenix Suns are going to push the pace of the game, and that should boost the entire Warriors' offense. Do not use Curry in 50/50 contests.

Devin Booker - SG, GSW ($6,100)

Devin Booker did not look great in his first game of the season, posting only 20.9 fantasy points in 25 minutes against the Sacramento Kings. In his second game, he played over 40 minutes and posted almost 30 fantasy points. If he continues to see big minutes, he will continue to produce, especially in an uptempo game against the Golden State Warriors. Booker will be a star. He will be an elite guard in this league. This season should be his breakout season.

 

 

FanDuel DFS Forwards

Kevin Durant - SF, at PHX ($9,700)

Kevin Durant had no issues adjusting to playing in a new environment. It looks like the Golden State Warriors decided to secede power to him. He posted 53 fantasy points in his first game of the season, which was against the San Antonio Spurs, and against the New Orleans Pelicans, he posted 65.4 fantasy points. He is going to continue to shoot as much as possible, rebound at a high rate, and dish out a few assists here and there. Use him in all formats.

Kawhi Leonard - SF, at MIA ($8,700)

Kawhi Leonard looked great in his first game of the season, which was against the Golden State Warriors, but he struggled against the New Orleans Pelicans two games later. The Miami Heat are not great defensively, and Leonard should be able to bounce back. He struggled, for the most part, in the first half only, so it was likely just a fluke. He should continue to score over 50 fantasy points per game, as the Spurs are going to continue to rely heavily on his offense (and defense).

TJ Warren - SF, GSW ($5,000)

TJ Warren looked absolutely fantastic in his last game, which was against the Oklahoma City Thunder. He posted over 40 fantasy points in over 40 minutes, and while his minutes are going to decrease tonight, he does not need 40 fantasy points to hit value. His price tag is slowly on the rise, but it is not where it should be yet. The Golden State Warriors are going to push the pace of the game, as are the Suns. This is a great game to attack.

 

FanDuel DFS Centers

Andre Drummond - C, MIL ($7,900)

Andre Drummond is one of the biggest upside centers in the league, but he has not been seeing the minutes that he needs to excel. Against the Orlando Magic, he posted over 40 fantasy points in only 28 minutes. If he can stay out of foul trouble early, he can explode for over 60 fantasy points, which is great for his price tag. The Milwaukee Bucks are known for allowing offensive rebounds and put-back points. Use Drummond in tournaments tonight.

Greg Monroe - C, at DET ($5,900)

Greg Monroe did not see the minutes that he needed to excel in his last game. He only played 18, scoring 25 fantasy points. His production while on the court is unbelievable, but the Milwaukee Bucks are never consistent with their rotation. If Monroe plays over 25 minutes, he is going to crush value. Andre Drummond may be great offensively, but he will allow Monroe to take open jumpers. Monroe can hit jumpers. It should be a great fantasy game for him.
