Damian Lillard
Dame is on a FanDuel run for the ages, dropping 40-plus FanDuel points in eight of his last 14 games. He’s undoubtedly looking forward to the Friday night meeting with Toronto, because when the Blazers last faced the Raptors in January, Lillard dropped 50.5 FanDuel points on their collective heads. That’s an impressive number in and of itself, but against one of the leagues toughest defenses, well, phew!
CJ McCollum
Almost-but-not-quite lost in the Lillard barrage is the continued steady play of his backcourt mate. CJ’s number have tailed off since his early-season blitzkrieg, but FanDuel players take secret joy in the fact that his cap hit is consistently below $8,000 FanDuel bucks. On Tuesday, look for him to take advantage of a defensively challenged Knicks backcourt.
Ed Davis
In four of his last five games, Davis racked up 20-plus FanDuel points, including a 37.3 explosion on Saturday night in Chicago. Over this stretch, his cap hit has been in the neighborhood of $4,000, making him one of the best value plays in all of FanDuelLand. Look for the run to continue on Wednesday, when he faces a Boston frontcourt that allows bunches and bunches of FanDuel points to opposing power forwards.
Gerald Henderson
Gerald seems to have found his stroke, averaging 25 FanDuel points over his last two games. As is the case with Davis, they’re going to need his firepower off the bench against the stalwarts of the Eastern Conference. He could also see some additional burn on Tuesday in New York, as coach Terry Stotts rests up the starters for later in the week.
Mason Plumlee
Mase is in the midst of an up-and-down stretch, but his ups have been so up that he merits FanDuel lineup consideration pretty much ever night. He’s put up 30-plus FanDuel points in three of his last five games, including a terrific 33.8 FDP performance against Rudy Gobert and the Utah Jazz. He, like the rest of the Blazers frontcourt, will look to make some noise on Wednesday against that aforementioned Boston D.
