FanDuel DFS Guards

Spencer Dinwiddie - PG, at DEN ($5,300)

Dinwiddie has quietly caught fire over his last five games, as he's averaging 15.6 points, 2.2 rebounds, and 4.2 assists in 27.2 minutes per game. He has scored 24+ fantasy points in four of his last five games, including two games with 30+ fantasy points. He gets a decent matchup against the Denver Nuggets, who have feature an average defense against the point guard this season. Dinwiddie is cheap enough to be considered in all leagues.

Monte Morris - SG, vs BKN ($3,800)

Morris has been an inconsistent player this season, mainly because of his inconsistent minutes. He played 26 minutes in his last game, and he's expected to see similar minutes tonight. He's a solid scorer, who can add rebounds, assists, and steals on a nightly basis. Morris also gets a great matchup against the Brooklyn Nets, who have struggled against guards this season. Morris isn't safe enough to be used in cash games, but he's a great salary relief option in tournaments.

 

FanDuel DFS Forwards

Bojan Bogdanovic - SF, at MIA ($4,400)

Bogdanovic is mainly a scorer, but he has performed well this season, especially for his price tag. Through 12 games, he's averaging 13.4 points and 3.7 rebounds in 30.0 minutes per game. He has also added assists and steals to his lines recently, while scoring 23+ fantasy points in each of his last three games. Bogdanovic is an extremely cheap option, and he can be considered in all leagues on this slate.

Domantas Sabonis - PF, at MIA ($6,500)

Sabonis has been playing at an elite level on a per minute basis this season. In only 24.1 minutes per game, he's averaging 14.1 points, 8.9 rebounds, and 2.6 assists per game. He has scored 30+ fantasy points in each of his last two games, playing 31 and 30 minutes in those games. His minutes have been inconsistent this season, but he makes an outstanding GPP option because of his reasonable price tag.

 

FanDuel DFS Centers

Andre Drummond - C, at ATL ($10,200)

Drummond has been playing at an elite level this season, as he's averaging 18.9 points, 16.6 rebounds, 1.4 assists, 1.3 blocks, and 1.0 steal in 32.4 minutes per game. He has also scored 58+ fantasy points in three of his last four games, posting a 20/19 or better line in each of those three games. The Atlanta Hawks don't feature any defender that is going to be able to slow Drummond down, and he makes an elite option once again tonight.
