FanDuel

Terrence Ross , SG ORL ($4,900)

I have vowed for the remainder of the season to attack the Minnesota defense at all costs and that won’t change now. This game not only features a 237 implied total, but the Magic get a MASSIVE pace up opportunity against a dreadful defense. Since the NBA trade deadline (February 6th), only the Hawks have a worse defensive rating and it’s only by .1 percent. Circling back to the pace part, this new looks T’Wolves team is first in pace over that same timeframe as well. Ross has poured in 23-plus FP in nine consecutive games and has gone for 30-plus in two-of-three. He’s scored 19-plus actual points in four-of-six games and has ten-plus actual points in eight-of-nine. Ross is a fantastic GPP option in this spot and at this price. We can also deploy him on DK considering the three-point bonus we get over there.

Harry Giles , PF SAC ($4,800)

Sure it’s a back-to-back for Sacramento, and sure it’s not the easiest spot against a much bigger Jonas Valanciunas , but the Kings are committing to Giles right now and they’re reaping the rewards. Giles has now poured in 29-plus FD points in three straight games and it in large part correlates with his minutes, considering he played 23-plus in all three. The Kings are in a pace up spot against a Memphis team allowing the eighth most fantasy points to opposing centers. What’s gotten Giles going these previous three games is his scoring (15.3 PPG) and (9.6 RPG) to boot. I love the return we’re getting out of Giles at his current evaluation on FanDuel.

Dario Saric , PF PHO ($3,800)

He only went 1-of-7 from the floor or Saric could have been in store for a big outing his last time out. With Kelly Oubre out for the foreseeable future, Saric is going to play all the minutes he can handle at power-forward, at least for the time being until the Suns determine it’s time to turn over all of their minutes to other guys. He played 31 minutes last time out, grabbing nine rebounds while also dishing out three assists. Saric has the tenth best match-up according to DvP against power-forward this season. The price point along with the match-up is hard to ignore.

DraftKings

Juancho Hernangomez , PF MIN ($4,800)

Even with Jake Layman back and the Wolves running out a fairly healthy roster, Hernangomez saw 31 minutes while putting up 28.8 DK points. This game total sits at 237 and believe it or not, Orlando ranks 29th against power-forwards over the past month. In three of his last five games, Hernangomez has 28.5 DK points. Not only that, but he averages .86 FP/min with the Wolves current starting five. Hernangomez has a path to 25-plus minutes a night and is going to be playing in a fast paced environment all the time considering the flow Minnesota is playing at. It kind of sucks he lost his multi-position eligibility, but is a very strong value regardless. 

De’Anthony Melton, PG/SG MEM ($4,400)

With Brandon Clarke and Jaren Jackson Jr. both injured, Memphis elected to start De’Anthony Melton in a three-guard lineup. When Melton has been on the floor without both of those guys, he’s averaged 1.05 FP/min, which is borderline elite considering the price point we’re getting him at. Melton played 23 minutes but didn’t play the final nine minutes of the game because it was a blowout, so it could have led to more. Sacramento has allowed the eighth most FP/game to opposing shooting-guards on the year. Melton has had quite the year against SAC this season averaging 17 PPG, 30.5 FPG, and has done so averaging 19.5 MPG. Melton could be considered in all formats if he’s once again starting here.

Cody Martin , SG/SF CHA ($3,700)

So just examining this situation in Charlotte, Martin seems a lock for 25-plus minutes in any situation there is. He played 25 minutes in a close game against the Knicks, and 30 in a blowout loss against the Pacers the day before. He has started for Charlotte a couple of times this year and on top of that, Malik Monk is suspended which bodes well for Martin’s chances at picking up his run. Charlotte is traveling to Toronto and is +13.5, which speaks to the likelihood that they won’t stay competitive. Either way you slice it, Martin sees playing time and can crush his DraftKings evaluation.
