Frank Mason III could make an impact tonight since starting guard, Cole Anthony, is questionable for tonight’s game vs. Golden State.
See below for a breakdown of value plays for today’s slate of games on Fan Duel by FantasyPros.
Chris Boucher (PF – TOR): $6,400 at BOS
Was Friday’s 17/9 performance the start of consistent playing time for Boucher? Apparently so, as he’s averaged 28 minutes per contest over his last three while double-doubling in every outing. Coach Nick Nurse has spurned hopeful fantasy managers repeatedly this season by limiting Boucher’s minutes without a moment’s notice. He’s a huge upside play in tournaments but one who comes with plenty of risk.
Josh Jackson (SG – DET): $5,500 vs. IND
Jackson has averaged just under 32 FD points across his last five games, taking on a prominent role in the Pistons’ offense. He’s not a sexy name, but he continues to put up quality numbers for a team in desperate need of playmakers. It’s hard not to gravitate to a guy with 40-point upside priced way down at $5.5K.
Terrence Ross (SG – ORL): $5,200 at GSW
Ross has tremendous scoring upside, but his floor is one of the lowest in the league. With Orlando missing Aaron Gordon and potentially Evan Fournier and Cole Anthony, Ross could help fill the scoring void in a solid spot against the Dubs.
Juan Toscano-Anderson (SF – GSW): $5,200 vs. ORL
Toscano-Anderson continues to play heavy minutes in Golden State’s rotation, and until his price goes up significantly, I’m going to keep rolling with him as a clear value. In four starts over the last week, he’s averaged 8.8 points, 9.3 boards, and 3.0 dimes.
Kelly Olynyk (C – MIA): $5,100 at HOU
Olynyk is a guy to look at in cash lineups, as his FD points have been in the mid-20s in each of his last four games. The big man has seen some increased run for Miami, and the excellent matchup with Houston should only bolster his already-secure floor.
Kendrick Nunn (PG – MIA): $5,000 at HOU
With Goran Dragic out, Nunn should again be in the starting lineup. The matchup with Houston is favorable, and while Nunn can run hot-and-cold, he’s liable to go off for a huge performance on any given night.
Chuma Okeke (PF – ORL): $4,800 at GSW
Okeke has scored 46.4 FD points across 49 minutes across his last two games, and he’s done a bit of everything in the box score over that span. Tonight’s matchup with Golden State’s depleted frontcourt offers a great opportunity for the 2019 first-round pick.
Derrick Jones (SF – POR): $4,500 vs. PHI
Jones is back and shouldn’t have a minutes restriction tonight in a favorable matchup. In his last game out, he went 8/10 across 29 minutes. He’s certainly a guy to roster in some tournament lineups.
Frank Mason (PG – ORL): $4,200 at GSW
Cole Anthony is questionable tonight, and Mason is in line to start if the former is unable to go. I’ll make sure to have some shares in tournament lineups tonight.
Eric Paschall (C – GSW): $4,200 vs. ORL
Paschall has seen limited run in his last two games back, but he posted 25.2 FD points across 15 minutes against the Spurs on Tuesday. He’s not a guy I’ll look to in cash games, but he deserves some consideration in tournaments given his per-minute upside.
