What is going on FANation? It's Saturday and while everybody is likely watching some football we have a real solid nine game NBA DFS main slate so lets take a look at what value plays you should be building your lineups around for both DraftKings and FanDuel.
DraftKings
Derrick White , PG SA ($4,200) - Dejounte Murray has been ruled out tonight and White has been announced as the starter in his place. Even off the bench White has been productive of late, going for at least 20 FP in eight of the last 10 games. Patty Mills at $3,600 should also be on your radar given the absence of Murray tonight.
Terrence Ross , SG ORL ($4,300) - With Jonathan Isaac out we thought we would see Ross play more minutes and they may have happened if Orlando didn't blowout Miami thanks to Ross scoring 25 points on 7-of-13 shooting. He got a minimal price bump and while he is scoring dependent I will buy back in here tonight as Utah has not been the best road team.
Cedi Osman , SF CLE ($4,300) - Both Larry Nance and Kevin Porter Jr. are out of the lineup tonight which I would think pushes Osman over the 30 minute mark tonight with really just Alfonzo McKinnie as a SF on the roster to back him up. I have liked playing Osman at this price recent anyhow so thinking he gets a bump here also makes it appealing to me.
FanDuel
Lonzo Ball , PG NO ($5,700) - Listen, if this is he type of player Lonzo can be then we are getting a steal at his current price point. His match up tonight in De'Aaron Fox is among the worst defensive point guards and we have seen Ball go for 57 and 38 over the past two games. I'll buy back in here against the Kings tonight.
Enes Kanter , C BOS ($5,400) - Kanter doesn't need a ton of minutes to do damage as we have seen over the past few games in which he has gone for 41, 18, 50 and 34 FP. The 18 FP game was the only one in which he didnt play at least 20 minutes but he also didnt play more than 23 minutes in any contest either. Tonight he gets the Bulls who are allowing the most fantasy points to the center position. I'll buy back in here.
Bruce Brown SG DET ($4,700) - Brown has played over 30 minutes in three straight games and gets a Warriors team that is not strong defensively at all. Brown has gone for over 22 FP in four straight games, going for at least 27 FP in three of them which would be close to 6x return on his price tag.
