Across his last six games, John Collins has posted at least 41 FD points three times.
See below for a breakdown of value plays for tonight’s slate of games on Fan Duel by FantasyPros.
John Wall (PG – HOU): $7,500 at MEM
With Victor Oladipo likely out tonight, Wall makes an excellent play at the point in a matchup with Memphis. Expect the veteran guard to take on a heavier offensive load while going toe-to-toe with another one of our value plays, Ja Morant
Ja Morant (PG – MEM): $7,400 vs. HOU
He’s coming off a dud, but what better way to bounce back than by facing a Houston team that has been generous to opposing point guards? Morant has nightly double-double upside and can get hot from the field in an instant. This price tag is beautiful for a superstar looking to get right in a fantastic matchup.
John Collins (PF – ATL): $6,900 vs. UTA
Collins has taken a step back in his production this season in Atlanta’s crowded rotation, but make no mistake about it — the talent and upside are there. Across his last six games, Collins has posted at least 41 FD points three times. Clint Capela will have his hands full with Rudy Gobert, which should leave Collins with some more room to operate and some additional offensive opportunities. I love the sub-$7K price tag on tonight’s slate.
Gary Trent (SG – POR): $6,300 at PHI
Trent has cemented himself as Portland’s second option on offense behind Lillard (abdomen), and the latter is a GTD tonight. Even if he goes, Lillard is likely to be less than 100%, making Trent a highly-attractive option in what is projected to be the highest-scoring matchup of the night.
Eric Gordon (PG – HOU): $5,400 at MEM
Gordon gets PG eligibility tonight, and with Victor Oladipo likely sitting, it should be Gordon and Wall manning the backcourt for Houston in a friendly matchup with Memphis. Gordon can get hot quickly, especially if his 3-point shot is falling, so he makes a fine tournament target.
Kelly Oubre Jr. (SF – GSW): $5,300 at DAL
Oubre gets a great matchup with Dallas tonight, and while his production has been up and down this season, he’s got 40-point upside. At just $5.3K, I’ll certainly grab some shares in tournaments.
Juan Toscano-Anderson (SF – GSW): $4,900 at DAL
Toscano-Anderson scored 25.9 FD points across 26 minutes of action Tuesday with both James Wiseman and Kevon Looney out of action. With both of those players out tonight, we should see more minutes from Toscano-Anderson and Eric Paschall, and both make great salary-saving options with sub-$5K price tags.
Kevin Huerter (SG – ATL): $4,500 vs. UTA
With De’Andre Hunter out of action, it’s been Huerter — not Cam Reddish — who has seen the biggest bump in playing time and production. He’s logged at least 38 minutes in back-to-back contests since Hunter left the lineup, and Huerter went off for 46.1 FD points in his last outing. Atlanta’s matchup with Utah isn’t the most friendly, but Huerter’s price tag is far too low to ignore.
Eric Paschall (C – GSW): $4,500 at DAL
As mentioned above with Toscano-Anderson, Paschall should find himself looking at more minutes with the Warriors’ frontcourt hit hard with injuries. The second-year man has proven quite valuable off the bench already, but a bump in minutes should only make him that much more appealing. What’s even better is his eligibility at center, giving you plenty of flexibility elsewhere if you want to pay down at the position.
Anfernee Simons (PG – POR): $4,400 at PHI
Simons got banged up Tuesday and failed to provide any fantasy value, but we’re going back to the well with him tonight. Portland’s matchup with Philly has the highest over/under on the slate, and with Damian Lillard (abdomen) a GTD, we should see more of Simons tonight.
