FanDuel DFS Guards
Russell Westbrook - PG, vs IND ($11,500)
On a short slate, it is important to find value options at all position. The reason for cheaper, value options is to roster players like Russell Westbrook. Westbrook should dominate the Indiana Pacers tonight, and the Pacers are one of the faster paced teams in the league. Westbrook and the Oklahoma City Thunder are not going to back down from a speed challenge. In his last four games, Westbrook has over 60 fantasy points in two of them, posting over 75 fantasy points against the Orlando Magic in 38 minutes. No one else on the board tonight, aside from perhaps DeMarcus Cousins, has that kind of upside. Use Westbrook in all leagues.
Rajon Rondo - PG, at LAL ($5,500)
Rajon Rondo has been playing well of recent for the Chicago Bulls. He is really taking over this offense and filling the void that Derrick Rose left. In his last three games, he has 34, 13.9, and 42.4 fantasy points, which is very solid for his price tag. The Los Angeles Lakers are an uptempo team, which should benefit the medium-tempo Chicago Bulls. Rondo is not going to score all that much, but he will do so effectively. He will also contribute in various other stat categories. In his last game, he was only two assists and one points away from a triple-double. The upside is there.
Also Consider: DeMar DeRozan - SG, at SAC ($9,200)
FanDuel DFS Forwards
Jimmy Butler - SF, at LAL ($8,500)
Rajon Rondo may be playing well. He may also be the point guard and control the ball up and down the court, but Jimmy Butler is the star of the show in Chicago. He is the one that does most of the scoring. In his last his seven games, he has at least 20 points scored in all of them. He has over 60 fantasy points in two of his last six games and over 40 fantasy points in four of his last six games. The Los Angeles Lakers are not going to slow him down, and if he fits into the lineup, he can be used in both 50/50 contests and tournaments.
Maurice Harkless - SF, at BKN ($4,600)
Maurice Harkless is a great value play tonight at the small forward position. His price tag is very reasonable, he is playing big minutes for the Portland Trailblazers, this game is going to be very uptempo and high-scoring, and he has over 20 fantasy points in four of his last five games. The stars are all aligned. Use him in both 50/50 contests and tournaments without hesitation. He could be the key to a successful lineup tonight.
Also Consider: Pascal Siakam - PF, at SAC ($3,700)
FanDuel DFS Centers
DeMarcus Cousins - C, vs TOR ($10,200)
On DraftKings, a tough decision needs to be made. Do I roster DeMarcus Cousins at the center position or the power forward position? On FanDuel, the decision is easy. He has to be rostered at center, and he is the best option on the board. The center position is very thin tonight, and while players like Jonas Valanciunas and Brook Lopez have high upside, no one has higher upside than Cousins. It may be difficult to roster both Cousins and Westbrook, but there is a way. It may be worth it.
Also Consider: Jonas Valanciunas - C, at SAC ($5,700)
