FanDuel DFS Guards

Kyle Lowry - PG, vs PHX ($8,600) 

Kyle Lowry did not look great in his last outing, which was against the Charlotte Hornets, posting slightly over 30 fantasy points in 34 minutes, but he should respond tonight against the Phoenix Suns with a much better performance. In his last five games, he has over 40 fantasy points in three of them, and the Suns are not going to keep the Toronto Raptors from scoring. There are only four games to choose from tonight, so rostering both Kyle Lowry and DeMar DeRozan in cash games is a great move.

Also Consider: Eric Bledsoe - PG, at TOR ($8,300) 

FanDuel DFS Forwards

Andrew Wiggins - SF, vs DEN ($7,000)

Andrew Wiggins has great upside tonight against the Denver Nuggets, and on a short, four-game slate, upside is sometimes all that matter. Wiggins will be owned rather high because of the lack of small forward options on the board, but that is fine. He posted over 35 fantasy points in his last game, which was against the Los Angeles Clippers, and the Nuggets have one of the worst defenses in the league. Wiggins should find ways to score early and often. He is best suited for tournaments, but on a slate like tonight, fantasy owners are encouraged to not be picky.

Also Consider:  PJ Tucker - SF, at TOR ($4,000)

FanDuel DFS Centers

Karl-Anthony Towns - C, vs DEN ($10,000)

Karl-Anthony Towns has been doing a majority of the scoring for the Minnesota Timberwolves of recent, and that is not going to change tonight. In his last game, he posted over 55 fantasy points in 41 minutes on the court. That was against the Los Angeles Clippers. He did the same thing against the Oklahoma City Thunder only a few games ago. As previously mentioned, the Denver Nuggets are one of the worst defensive teams in the league, so KAT should have no issues scoring and rebounding. Nikola Jokic is great for fantasy purposes, but he is also fun to pick on. Remember, FanDuel only allows for one center, so good luck choosing between KAT and the phenomenal Tyson Chandler tonight.

Also Consider: Tyson Chandler - C, at TOR ($5,700)
