Huge night in the NBA on Wednesday with 13 games on the slate. There are plenty of value plays out there, but it's hard for me to spend top dollar on an elite player because there are plenty of players that will have big nights that don't cost $10,000 or more. 

The point guard position is filled with value plays, which is why I find it hard to spend a lot of money at the position tonight. This will open things up to spend at other positions. The "Greek Alphabet" is the top shooting guard based on his mid-tier price and high floor/high ceiling for producing fantasy points. Eric Bledsoe seems like a great play tonight, but Vegas has his prop bet at 29.5 total points/rebounds/assists, while they have Kobe Bryant's points/rebounds/assists totals at 34.5. That is why I'm leaning towards Kobe over Bledsoe. The small forward position is a no-brainer as Andrew Wiggins is getting heavy minutes and continues to produce 30 plus fantasy points. Meanwhile, Quincy Acy is a great number two small forward on Fanduel.

The power forward position is very top heavy as Pau Gasol and Paul Millsap are great plays at the position. Still like Kenneth Faried as a number two power forward on Fanduel. The center position is loaded tonight as Andre Drummond is playing at an elite right now and faces the Mavericks, a team that struggles vs centers. Jusuf Nurkic has been playing some great ball recently, but he's only playing about 23 minutes per game during his recent hot streak. However, those minutes would drastically increase if Timofey Mozgov officially gets traded before tonight's game. That would make Nurkic a must-start across the board. Time to grind!
