Damian Lillard
Over the last week, Dame’s reality work has been terrific, but his FanDuel numbers have taken a slight hit; he’s failed to top 34 FanDuel points in four of his last six games. But have no fear, Lillard fans: The last time Portland took on OKC, he dropped 50 FDPs on the poor Thunder. This could be a first-round playoff matchup, so look for Lillard to embrace his duel with Russell Westbrook.
CJ McCollum
Like Lillard, CJ has been in a bit of a FanDuel slump, having averaged 27 FDPs over his last five games. But also like Lillard, he owns OKC—when they last played, he threw down 39 FDPs. Defensively speaking, OKC is thin at the two-guard, so a repeat performances could well be in the cards.
Gerald Henderson
In his last three games, Gerald has been one of FanDuel’s finest value plays, having averaged 20 FDPs for a price tag that hasn’t exceeded $3,900. Keep him on your radar for Saturday night’s clash with the injury-depleted Pelicans, who are among the league’s worst in FanDuel points allowed to wing players.
Allen Crabbe
Allen’s been absent from this list for a few weeks, but on Saturday night, he busted out in a big way, racking up 18 points and five boards against the Orlando Magic, giving him a 22 FanDuel point average for his last two games. His price tag against Orlando was $3,500, the lowest salary allowed in FanDuelLand, so consider inserting him into your lineup in that New Orleans game on Saturday.
Meyers Leonard
Yet another solid value play from the Blazers. Meyers has hit double figures in each of his last four games, including a terrific 10/13 double-double last Friday against Golden State. It’s probably best to take a pass on him Thursday against the Spurs—San Antonio is stingy with the FanDuel points—but against OKC and New Orleans, he could cause some damage.
