Cody Zeller is in the best stretch of his career right now, averaging 32.2 FanDuel points per game across his last six outings.
See below for a breakdown of value plays for today’s slate of games on Fan Duel by FantasyPros.
Kawhi Leonard (SF – LAC): $9,900 vs. SAC
Kawhi should crush in this matchup, and we’ll discuss that more in the next section.
Jimmy Butler (SF – MIA): $8,700 at NYK
Butler has been bludgeoning opponents recently, and we’ll discuss that more in the studs section later on.
LaMelo Ball (PG – CHA): $7,800 vs. WAS
LaMelo has been starting recently, and it’s been a long time coming. He’s scored at least 35 FD points in four of his last five games while averaging 42.3 fantasy points per game in that span. We obviously love that against the fastest paced team in the NBA.
Myles Turner (C – IND): $6,900 vs. UTA
This price tag is too cheap. Turner is averaging 37 FD points per game and will be needed to play big minutes opposing Rudy Gobert.
Jeremy Lamb (SG – IND): $6,000 vs. UTA
Lamb has been in this section a lot, and it’s easy to see why. He’s scored at least 29 FD points in five of his last seven games, which is a huge total from a $6K player.
Cody Zeller (C – CHA): $5,800 vs. WAS
Zeller is in the best stretch of his career right now, averaging 32.2 FanDuel points per game across his last six outings. That might increase with P.J. Washington sidelined, especially against the worst defense in the NBA.
Kemba Walker (PG – BOS): $5,700 vs. PHO
Walker has a usage rate north of 25%, and he should only get better as the season progresses. If Smart and Brown are both out here, Kemba’s impossible to fade at just $5,700.
Elfrid Payton (PG – NYK): $5,100 vs. MIA
Payton averaged over 25 FD points per game in the first three weeks and has scored at least 35 fantasy points in each of his last two games. A terrible stretch before lowered his price to this number, but it makes him worth a shot in a GPP.
Mitchell Robinson (C – NYK): $5,200 vs. MIA
It’s weird to see Robinson in this $5K range. He’s got a 50-point upside with his impressive per-minute career averages, and he’s one of the only guys with legit 10X upside.
Tristan Thompson (PF – BOS): $4,200 vs. PHO
With Daniel Theis, Jaylen Brown, and Marcus Smart all potentially missing this game, Thompson should be rebounding at will. That’s big news with him averaging 13.7 points and 8.3 rebounds over his last three games, especially at just $4,200.
