Sick deal.   Point Guard Russell Westbrook - FD 11700 DK 12100 DFSTR 8800 As is always the case with Russell, his fantasy value (at least at these prices) is very much tied to the status of Durant. If KD sits again (he's GTD right now) Westbrook is probably still a value even at these insanely high tags. It's hard to comprehend that. But his usage rate is off the charts and he's, for the most part, delivering. He'd be getting a fast-paced Phoenix team that gets shredded by opposing point guards. If no Durant I'm starting my cash game plays with this guy. Brandon Knight - FD 6700 DK 7400 DFSTR 6500 As Jeff Teague proved last night, Cleveland and Kyrie Irving have major struggles against opposing point guards. Knight's price has dropped over the short term because of some inconsistent performances and a troubling amount of turnovers last game and rough shooting of late. That's fine. If the Bucks can keep it even a semblance of close, Knight is a guy I'll have some shares of because of all the Bucks he's one of the few without minutes questions. Cory Joseph - FD 5400 DK 5300 DFSTR 3300 Patrick Beverley - FD 5800 DK 5300 DFSTR 4900 These two have almost no upside but they do have something in common: minutes. That's going to be the theme of the day as the high value just isn't there across the board. Our system has a bunch of guys locked into very similar multipliers and they are trending low. That's subject to a couple of the truly awful defensive teams not going today. So we need to target the minutes for safety. That's where these guys come in. They won't blow it out of the box, but they also won't break your bank. Strongly consider Isaiah Thomas because the price is still low.   Shooting Guard Marco Belinelli - FD 4200 DK 4000 DFSTR 3500 We gave him as a top play last night and all he did was crush it. Dude has major...

Sick deal.   Point Guard Ty Lawson - FD 8900 DK 10000 DFSTR 6400 Though we might be accused of overweighting the upside of a player facing off against the Lakers look no further than some of these metrics. The Lakers are allowing a whopping 21% more scoring than league average to opposing point guards along with 18% more assists. This is born out of LA's consistently taking bad shots leading to fast breaks going the other way. Lawson makes a solid cash game play tonight as his floor should be high based on the pace and defensive inadequacies of the opponent. Jarrett Jack - FD 5600 DK 5900 DFSTR 4300 The Nets don't appear interested in bringing Deron Williams back to the starting lineup any time soon and his loss is Jarrett Jack's gain. Jack's been solid in the starting lineup and his price refuses to climb enough. That's a good thing and though I'm a little worried about the minutes just one day disappearing because D-Will comes off the bench and gets hot, for now I think you can keep it going. The Bulls haven't been good against point guards this season and I'm not letting that matchup dissuade me. Stephen Curry - FD 10100 DK 11000 DFSTR 8900 More of a GPP option because the Warriors might win this thing by 300 but Curry has some upside against a weaker defense if there's any chance in hell that Philly can keep it close. I don't suspect the latter happens, but on the off chance they keep in the running then Curry could really eclipse this tag. Strongly consider Elfrid Payton who is looking more comfortable in the starting role.   Shooting Guard Arron Afflalo - FD 5100 DK 6200 DFSTR 5100 Fair warning: I've never actually played Arron Afflalo in a game when he's been good. I try to forget this little piece of bias when I'm making lineups, but man is it tough. Whenever I zig with him, he zags. But the price and matchup are almost too good to...

Sick deal.   Point Guard Jarrett Jack - FD 5600 DK 5300 DFSTR 4300 So it seems Deron Williams is officially no longer the starter. For some reason I'm not totally buying it. I just have a hard time believing the Nets will leave this much money on their bench for this long. But they have. And in that time Jack has been tearing it up, averaging 36 fantasy points over his last four games. I'm only concerned about the minutes suddenly disappearing as Williams is transitioned back into the offense. Otherwise, Jack is more than a value considering the run he's been getting. Brandon Knight - FD 6700 DK 7000 DFSTR 6500 Not a guy we typically throw out there, but some down games and low ownerships have his prices solidly in the midrange now. The Hornets have been bad all season against opposing point guards, allowing 8% more scoring than league average to the position. Up until recently, Knight was the only guy on the Bucks I wasn't worried about when it came to minutes. And I still think he's relatively safe. I think the price has fallen to the point that you can play him safely. Consider Derrick Rose   Shooting Guard Rodney Stuckey - FD 5800 DK 5800 DFSTR 5000 We were one of the very few outfits (or DFS players) on Stuckey the other night following the eye injury. And he obliged our faith when he played with a 20/6/8 night that crushed it from the contrarian side. He remains a value at the SG position and one thing I like about the guy is he adds in the rebounds to keep the floor a bit higher considering the price. The Bulls and Jimmy Butler are no easy matchup but Stuckey still can get it done with the salary in mind. Gary Neal - FD 3600 DK 4200 DFSTR 3000 Doesn't seem safe by any means. But the guy is a minimum-priced dude thanks in part to an epically bad shooting stretch over his last three games. He's 4-26...

Sick deal.   Point Guard Russell Westbrook - FD 11800 DK 11900 DFSTR 8800 This pick is totally contingent on Durant not playing. I wouldn't even consider Russell at these prices if KD is rolling and even then it's damn close. But the fact remains that if he gets full run with no Durant then he's about as good as it gets from a fantasy (and real life) perspective. Westbrook plays at another level and keeps his floor so damn high because he basically does, well, everything. Scores, rebounds, assists and gets to the line over and over and over again. Check KD's status and play accordingly. Goran Dragic - FD 7200 DK 7700 DFSTR 6100 Isaiah Thomas - FD 5600 DK 5900 DFSTR 6000 Honestly, I'd seriously consider starting them both on this short slate especially if I wasn't rolling Westbrook. They get the worst defensive team in the league and you can basically guarantee a certain amount of minutes out of the two of them. Thomas is especially a bargain considering how much they've been using him lately and these guys both stand to hit value (or at least should combine for it). The Lakers are dreadful on D against point guards and both of these guys can fill it up. Consider Patrick Beverley Shooting Guard Eric Bledsoe - FD 7900 DK 9300 DFSTR 7300 This one's easy isn't it? He's been a solid cash game play for a while now and tonight gets to face the worst defensive team in the league. I really can't overstate how bad the Lakers are on defense. Against opposing shooting guards they allow 10% more than league average scoring and are worse in every other metric as well. Bledsoe doesn't break the bank for you and should stand to see plenty of scoring opportunities. I don't love the multi-guard system the Suns are running (from a fantasy perspective) but Bledsoe is a safe option today. Wesley Matthews - FD 5500 DK 5900 DFSTR 4900 The Knicks have an impossible time with shooting guards almost independent...

And now - for the next month - you can get access to our Football projection tools AND our baskeball projection tools for the same price! Sick deal.   Point Guard Kemba Walker - FD 8000 DK 8500 DFSTR 7300 Walker is turning into a fine player - both for fantasy and real life purposes. With Stephenson out, he's been shouldering a greater portion of the load, and performing quite nicely. These days it seems like he's in the mid-twenties for points and 6-8 assists just getting out of bed in the morning, and that makes him a very solid cash game play on any given night. On this night in particular, Walker is facing the Magic's woeful PG defense. They've allowed 10% more points than league average to opposing PGs this year, and Walker should flourish. C.J. Watson - FD 4100 DK 4400 DFSTR 4700 The free-money CJ Watson days may be over with the return of George Hill, but that doesn't mean there's no value here. Our projection system likes Watson at this price even if he is playing 24 minutes per game, and he's been settling in at 28 or so recently. I'll keep my ears peeled for any news that Hill is going to take on a bigger role, but if he isn't, I very much like Watson against the combination of the ailing Deron Williams and the offense-first Jarrett Jack. Jose Calderon - FD 5600 DK 4800 DFSTR 4100 If you're asking me, and I mean, you're kind of asking me, since you're reading this article and all, this isn't a day to spend up at PG. Our projection system likes Steph Curry, but he seems to be deferring more and more recently. I like going cheap, and cheap today means looking hard at Jose Calderon. He's been a lock for mid-thirties minutes recently, and has been dynamite in his last 3 games, paying an easy 5-6x on his FanDuel price in each. The Kings have been roughly league average against PGs this year, and I think Calderon should pay off his prices easily. Also considered: Steph Curry, Trey Burke Shooting Guard Rodney Stuckey - FD 5400 DK 6000 DFSTR 5000 It looks for all...
