Huge night in the NBA with 13 games on the slate. Plenty of studs are playing tonight, but most of them are over priced. Russell Westbrook is the top play on the board, but his price tag is still ridiculous. Anthony Davis and James Harden are going to struggle to reach value. DeMarcus Cousins is the best option out of the stud players based on his high ceiling and reasonable price tag.
The point guard the position is filled value plays in Mike Conley, Trey Burke, Langston Galloway, and Zach LaVine. Conley's price tag is drastically under priced because of his inconsistent play and ankle injury that caused him to miss some games. However, the Grizzlies are going to need their star point guard to play well if they want any chance of beating the Cavaliers, which makes him a fantastic option in all formats. Burke has a great matchup as the Blazers are one of the worst teams vs point guards. Combine that with his cheap price tag and he becomes one of the best value options on the board. Damian Lillard's value definitely takes a hit with LaMarcus Aldridge back, but his price tag is still low on DraftKings. Goran Dragic is a good mid-tier option.
DeMar DeRozan is the top shooting guard based on his consistency and reasonable price tag. Tony Allen is playing a lot of minutes for the Grizzlies and is the best value option at the position. Eric Bledsoe is a good option if Brandon Knight doesn't play, if he does play, Bledsoe is more of a GPP option. The small forward position is led by Kawhi Leonard, who should have another solid performance vs the Thunder. Trevor Ariza is s consistent mid-tier option. Joe Ingles is a solid punt play if he starts for the Jazz. While he did nothing on Monday, Solomon Hill has played well vs the Wizards this season, which makes him a good contrarian GPP option.
The power forward position has a lot of great options in Kenneth Faried, Paul Millsap, Derrick Favors, and Nerlens Noel. Favors is practically on a must-start on Aces because of his low price tag. Faried is good for 35 to 40 fantasy points and doesn't have as high of price of the other guys, which makes him a great option in all formats. It hurts everyone's value on the Suns if Brandon Knight plays because Marcus Morris moved to the small forward position with him out, which opened up more playing time for the entire team. Ryan Kelly is a quality punt play if he starts. Enes Kanter is still the top option at the center position because he continues to produce big games without the high price tag. Roy Hibbert is the best value option at the position. Also Gorgui Dieng is a great mid-tier option as well.
