Today we have an 11 game slate. Before I dive into the games I am going to explain the format I will use in my articles. I specialize on Fanduel but I am starting to try out Draftkings and I will see how it goes, so, for now, the articles will be for plays I like on Fanduel. Each article will have my 5 favorite plays, 1 from each position. I will also include my favorite game to target for each slate. I won’t just point out obvious high priced plays either. I will involve value plays as well. If there are any terms you don’t understand you can view my Guide to Daily Fantasy Sports or just tweet me @DfsSwaggyC . Now time to get into tonight’s games.
My Fab Five
PG
Kemba Walker $7,800
Points Needed to Hit Value= 39
Kemba Walker is my play at PG. He will be very highly owned more than likely tonight against the Cavs in a prime-time matchup. As we know the Cavs haven’t really been playing defense this year and has been giving it up to primary ball handlers. If the Hornets want to win this game Kemba will need to have a big night. Even though Batum will be back tonight he will have a minutes restriction so he won’t take away too much production from Kemba. Look for him to be highly owned tonight while he hit value as well.
SG
Buddy Hield $4,600
Points Needed to Hit Value= 23
Buddy Hield is my play at Shooting Guard today. Hield has been coming off the bench recently and has been carrying the bench squad. He is the primary scorer on the second group and I believe he has more potential for a higher fantasy game when he comes off the bench. Hield has hit value in 6 of his last 7 games and I can see him making it 7/8 tonight when he faces off against the Hawks who are the second worst team against the position.
SF
Dillon Brooks $4,300
Points Needed to Hit Value= 21.5
Dillon Brooks is my play at SF tonight. He has been getting at least 25 minutes a game and hitting value as well. The last three games he has averaged 27.3 FDP. That is over 6x value. With Mike Conley possibly being out, that will give Brooks more usage just do to the fact that those are minutes and production that needs to be spread around and filled. I have been playing Brooks recently and will continue to tonight.
PF
Taj Gibson $4,800
Points Needed to Hit Value= 24
Taj Gibson is my play at the 4 spot tonight. Gorgui Dieng is doubtful tonight against the Spurs, who are coming off a back to back. With Dieng out Gibson has been seeing at least 35 minutes a game and has been producing as well. In those two games that Dieng has been out, Gibson put up 35.2 and 31 FDP. With Popovich more than likely resting some of his players, look for Gibson to continue his production on his way to value.
C
Joel Embiid $9,700
Points Needed to Hit Value= 48.5
Joel Embiid is my big man tonight. Just in case you weren’t aware, Embiid is not the biggest fan of Lavar Ball. The 76ers are facing the Lakers tonight on ESPN in the night cap. With Brook Lopez more than likely matching up with Embiid, I see this an amazing spot for Embiid to put up huge numbers. I expect a great game between both teams and big games from the young stars on each team as well.
My Game of the Night
Philadelphia 76ers @ Los Angeles Lakers
This game has great young stars and should stay close since the projected total is 220 with the 76ers being a 3 point favorite. I will have many pieces from this game in my lines tonight.
