FanDuel DFS Guards
Kemba Walker - PG, CHA @ NO (FD - $9,000)
Walker is coming off a massive 54 fantasy point game against the Jazz and is now in a very soft matchup versus the Pelicans, who are allowing 50 FanDuel points per game to point guards, which is the second most in the league. He carries a 31.5% usage rate along with producing 1.24 fantasy points per minute this season, which should put him in a spot for cash games or GPPs. We don't have an over-under in this game, but it should be on the higher end, with plenty of fantasy scoring to go around.
Trey Burke - PG, DAL vs MIN (FD - $4,900)
Burke has played 29 and 30 minutes in his last two games, due to the fact Luka Doncic has been out with an injury. Currently, Doncic is listed as a game-time decision for this game and if he sits again, we should see Burke around the same amount of minutes. He is facing off against the Timberwolves who are allowing 46 FanDuel points per game to point guards and 42 FD points per game to shooting guards if he happens to line up there on the court.
FanDuel DFS Forwards
Maurice Harkless - SF, POR vs MEM (FD - $5,400)
Harkless sees a very slight increase in his usage with the current injuries on the Trail Blazers but is seemingly being more efficient as of late, so let's take a look. He has posted 24 fantasy points or more in four of his last five games, where two of those games are above one fantasy point per minute. We aren't looking for massive numbers from him since he isn't expensive, but the point per dollar production is great. He is facing off against the Grizzlies, who are actually solid against small forwards, but they will have their hands full with Lillard and Kanter, leaving Harkless in a spot to pick up some extra fantasy points.
Aaron Gordon - PF, ORL vs NY (FD - $7,100)
The Magic are just a half game out of the playoffs and in a spot to pick up an easier win against the Knicks who are allowing 47 FanDuel points per game to power forwards, which is the fifth worst in the league. This puts Gordon in a great spot and he has shown to take advantage of this matchup just over a month ago, posting 40 fantasy points in 32 minutes. His price tonight is very affordable and could go a bit overlooked since the Magic are 12-point home favorites.
FanDuel DFS Centers
Thomas Bryant - C, WAS vs CHI (FD - $7,500)
We have an over-under set at 228 points in this game and Bryant is in a spot to completely dominate the Bulls. Bryant comes in with 49 fantasy points or more in two of his last three games and is now up against Chicago, who are allowing a whopping 48 FanDuel points per game to centers. He also has posted four double-doubles in his last five games, a level of production that is as close to a lock as you can get on this slate. He can compete with the top dollar centers for production tonight and of course, brings a bit of savings.
