Collin Sexton is averaging 36 FD points per game since returning from injury.
See below for a breakdown of value plays for tonight’s slate of games on Fan Duel by FantasyPros.
James Harden (BKN) $10,700:
Harden is our favorite stud of the day, and we’ll discuss that more in the studs section.
Joel Embiid (PHI) $9,900:
Embiid might be the best bet for 50 FanDuel points on this slate, and we’ll discuss that more in the next section.
Andre Drummond (CLE) $9,000:
Drummond has seen limited minutes, but he has too much upside to fade at this price. We’ll discuss that more later.
Collin Sexton (CLE) $7,100:
Sexton is averaging 36 FD points per game since returning from injury, and it’s hard to overlook that against one of the worst defenses in the NBA.
D’Angelo Russell (MIN) $7,500:
Russell has a usage rate north of 30 percent with Towns off the floor this season. That has led to him averaging 38 FD points per game across his last 10 outings.
Naz Reid (MIN) $6,300:
Reid has been starting for Karl-Anthony Towns and has been fantastic in his absence. In fact, Naz has scored at least 27 FanDuel points in seven of his nine starts this season.
Aaron Gordon (ORL) $5,500:
Gordon has been playing a lot of point guard for the Magic, and it’s led to one of the best stretches of his career. Over his last 13 games, AG is averaging 14.7 points, 7.8 rebounds, and 5.5 assists per game. We can’t ask for any more out of a player south of $6K.
Jeremy Lamb (IND) $5,400:
Lamb has been a pleasant surprise off of his injury, averaging 26 FD points per game across 27 minutes of action since his debut. That’s all you can ask for from a sub-$6K player.
Darius Garland (CLE) $5,200:
Garland is easily my favorite value play of the day. The sophomore guard saw a limited workload after an injury but has been astounding aside from that. If you take out the four games he was limited, Garland is averaging 34 FanDuel points per game across 34 minutes a night. That’s ridiculous from someone this cheap, especially against a 29th-ranked T’Wolves defense.
DeAndre Jordan (BKN) $4,900:
DJ is one of the best values at the center position. Since they traded Jarrett Allen, Jordan is averaging 26 FD points per game across his last seven outings. We obviously love that against the worst defense in basketball.
