PG: Patty Mills – FanDuel $3,700/ DK $3,700
Patty Mills is always a nice sneaky play if you’re looking for low risk decent reward point guard so you can spend your salary somewhere else. He’s put out 20+ fantasy points in 5 out of the last 8 games San Antonio has played and can always be a solid reliable option in the back court. Don’t expect a crazy night from Mills but he can be a good support guy to help push you past the money line.
SG: JJ Redick -FanDuel $5,500/ DK $5,300
The Duke product is always one of the most reliable shooting guard options available. Redick has put up 20+ fantasy points in 11 straight games and 30+ in 5 of those 11 contests. He’s consistent, reliable and can always have a huge night if his 3 ball is falling (It’s usually falling). If you’re looking for someone to hit you some 3s and be efficient doing it, look no further than Redick.
SF: Michael Kidd-Gilchrist – FanDuel $4,200/ DK $3,800
MKG isn’t the most flashy option for the small forward slot but he’s a good stat stuffer who will give you solid numbers night in and night out. He won’t score a lot but he brings his fantasy value up by grabbing a lot of rebounds and playing great defense getting a few blocks and steals. He’s missed Charlottes last six games due to a sprained ankle but the two games he’s played since coming back he surpassed 21 fantasy points. Before the injury he surpassed 20+ in 5 out of 7 games.
PF: JaMychal Green – FanDuel $4,600/DK $4,300
Green missed a few weeks due to a broken jaw but since returning he’s been a solid fantasy option registering 20+ fantasy points in four out of six contests. Marc Gasol could possibly miss tonight’s game which would give Green the start but even if Gasol plays it won’t matter much. Green has been a reliable fantasy performer off the bench all season and I don’t see any reason why that won’t continue tonight against Brooklyn.
C: Mason Plumlee – FanDuel $6,100/DK $3,800
Now I know you see that $6,100 salary on FanDuel and wonder how he’s a value pick. Let me tell you why. Plumlee has recorded a double double in two out of his last three contests and has gotten his minutes increased up to about 22 a night. He’s shooting 65% from the field over his last six games and has been playing solid all around basketball. Look for Plumlee to keep up this pace going forward and be a strong option at the Center position tonight against Portland.
