FanDuel DFS Guards
Trae Young - PG, ATL vs. MIL ($9,700)
Luka Doncic is obviously in play at point guard, but he’s nearly $12k and $2k more expensive than Trae Young. Young and the Hawks are back home after a five-game road trip that led to four losses. The Hawks play a lot better at home and they’ll be tested immediately with a match-up against the Hawks. The Bucks actually play at a top-10 pace and I think Young gets back over 50 fantasy points here. Milwaukee doesn’t cover the point guard position well and they allow the sixth most open threes in basketball. The price on Young has come down a bit and he’s going to go overlooked on this slate.
Spencer Dinwiddie - SG, BKN vs. CHA ($7,300)
With both Kyrie Irving and Caris Levert out with injuries, Spencer Dinwiddie is shooting the ball a ton. They need him to, as the Nets don’t offer much of a scoring punch elsewhere. He played 33 minutes against the Pacers and put up 49 fantasy points. The match-up with Charlotte is similar, as they play at an average pace and struggle to cover guards. Expect another 40 fantasy points out of Dinwiddie here.
FanDuel DFS Forwards
Giannis Antetokounmpo - SF, MIL @ ATL ($12,100)
If you couldn’t tell, I’m a big fan of targeting this game. It opened up with a 231 over/under and the Bucks are favored by just 10 points. If the Bucks are up by 10 with five minutes to go, starters on both teams are going to see their full allotment of minutes. 34 minutes of Giannis Antetokounmpo against this defense is scary to think about. They play fast and don’t have any run protection to speak of. If I’m paying up for one guy tonight, it’s Giannis Antetokounmpo.
LaMarcus Aldridge - PF, SA @ WAS ($7,800)
Aldridge is just too cheap here on FanDuel. The Wizards play fast and don’t offer up any resistance for a big guy like LMA. He’s been over 30 fantasy points in seven of the last eight and has eclipsed 50 twice. If he’s hitting his shots early, Aldridge has a ton of upside. Worst-case scenario, he finishes between 30 and 35 fantasy points. The Wizards play extremely fast and give up a ton of peripherals to opposing big men. For under $8k on FanDuel, I’m having a hard time avoiding Aldridge in cash games.
Kevin Love - PF, CLE @ MIA ($8,000)
With Tristan Thompson rested tonight, last game seemed like a rest night for Love. Teams will have to be more discreet with those this year as they will get penalized otherwise. Love should be back to his usual role and he’ll be needed for even more rebounding with Thompson not in there. If you’re not a fan of LMA, Love is in play and I doubt he’s over 10% owned coming off a game where he was supposedly injured.
FanDuel DFS Centers
Ante Zizic - C, CLE @ MIA ($3,500)
There are a ton of centers to consider. On the high-end, every single center has the chance to go off. If you make me pick one, I love Embiid in that match-up. However, you can also pay all the way down for Ante Zizic. I’m paying up elsewhere and Zizic is safe enough for me to lean on in cash games. With Thompson out, I expect 24-30 minutes out of Zizic. He’s always been productive when on the floor and there’s a real chance he 8x’s his salary on FanDuel. The Heat aren’t very strong against big men and Zizic creates mismatches.
