Things to Remember
-Always check for injuries prior to tip-off.
-Daily FanDuel plays are up Monday through Friday.
-No picks on nights of only four games or less.
-Stats are based off Fanduel rules
Big Cap Players ($8,000 and Up)
Russell Westbrook vs NYK ($12,200) - Westbrook has had over 59 fantasy points in five of his last six games, and has Triple-Double potential every night. The Knicks also lack the athleticism and defensive intensity to keep up with a player like Westbrook.Which could lead to a lot of easy buckets for Westbrook. As well, we know players love to have big games at MSG.
Now, I’m not saying to put Westbrook in every lineup, but at least one or two.
Mid Cap Players ($5,000 to $8,000)
Al Horford vs MIA ($7,500) - Horford has put up some nice numbers (40.6 fantasy points a game) since returning from injury. Plus, the Heat are allowing centers to average almost 50 fantasy points a game.
Kristaps Porzingis vs OKC ($7,200) - Porzingis is really starting to shine in New York, and he has had over 32 fantasy points in seven straight games. Given both teams aren’t great defensively; Porzingis is a pretty safe play at $7,200.
Bradley Beal vs SAC ($6,300) - Beal has been averaging 37.76 fantasy points per game since returning from injury. Not to mention,the Kings D gives up plenty of open looks and will be playing on the second night of a back-to-back.
Small Cap Players ($5,000 and Under)
James Johnson vs BOS ($4,200) - If Winslow is out again tonight, Johnson is a solid punt play. He has had over 23 fantasy points in four of his last six games.
