Worth the Investment
John Wall (WAS, PG) - $9,200
Despite a lingering Achilles issue, Wall has continued to be a daily fantasy stud. Over the past six games he has been over 42 fantasy points in five of them, including two of the last three being over 50 points.
Wall has double-digit assist totals in five of the past seven outings while also grabbing at least one steal in each of his past 10 games. It is also great news that the Wizards are playing at home where he excels.
The last two home games have seen Wall put up a combined 105.3 fantasy points. Do not expect anything less tonight against a Hornets team that is playing backup point guard Brian Roberts big minutes.
Zach Randolph (MEM, PF) - $8,600
Maybe sitting out a few games with an injury was just the thing Randolph needed to get going. Since his return, he has posted a double-double in every game.
Not only does Z-Bo post giant rebound totals, 35 combined in the last two games, but he has also chipped in with two or more assists in nine of the last 10 games, which gives daily players a nice boost. A plus match-up with a fast paced Suns team should result in another 40+ fantasy point game.
Nikola Vucevic (ORL, C) - $9,000
Center is not a great position tonight, many of the top options are getting spendy while having rough match-ups. You could drop down to a cheaper play like Timofey Mozgov, but many of those players simply do not have the upside that Vucevic has tonight.
Yes, Vucevic's $9,000 price tag is a bit high, but that should help lower ownership numbers on a player that has been over 32 fantasy points in six straight games. In those games he has over 10 rebounds in five games while posting at least 17 points in each.
With Tobias Harris now coming off of the bench, Vucevic has been given a larger part of the offensive load which has proven to be great daily fantasy news. The Thunder do not provide a great match-up tonight, but also not one to completely avoid.
Top Sleeper
Devin Harris (DAL, PG) - $3,500
Assuming Rajon Rondo sits tonight, Harris should be the easiest play of the day. The veteran point guard has played well when given big minutes as he has the last two nights when he has over 27 minutes a piece in both.
Harris has clearly taken over the back-up role from J.J. Barea and should be able to blow his value out of the water against a Wolves team that is bringing back Ricky Rubio. Plug Harris in and move on to your second point-guard spot.
