What’s up, GF2 fans! I’m back at it again this season bringing you guys some solid NBA values for the Wednesday night slate of games! This slate will consist of a solid 5-game schedule to play with. Each week the majority of my value plays will be at or under the $6,000 price range. Let’s get this DFS party started!
Point Guard
Reggie Jackson vs. IND ($6,000)Â
I like the bump in pace that this Pistons squad will have for this slate of games! So far this year, Jackson has averaged 15.5 points, 3.7 rebounds, 6.3 assists and 1.2 steals per outing for Detroit. In 2017, he’s managed to average a super solid 31.7 FPPG for his loyal owners. This season, the Pacers rank 20th overall at defending against opposing point guards. This should be a fun game to target for Wednesday night.
Frank Ntilikina @ ORL ($3,800)
I firmly believe that it won’t be too long before Ntilikina will be the starting point guard for the Knicks! The kid has some talent at a thin position for New York. In two of his last three games, Ntilikina has scored 23+ FPPG for his owners and draws a decent matchup for Wednesday evening. So far this season, the Magic rank 22nd overall at defending against opposing point guards.
Shooting Guard
Dion Waiters @ PHO ($5,700)
This pick has a lot to do with the upgrade in pace that the Heat will receive for this slate of games. So far this year, the Suns rank 19th overall at defending against opposing shooting guards and Waiters’ price tag is just right in my opinion. This year, he’s managed to average a cool 27.3 FPPG for his owners. This season, Waiters has averaged 15.9 points, 3.1 rebounds and 3.5 assists per outing for Miami.
Marcus Smart vs. LAL ($5,300)
This contest should be an exciting one with two of the NBA’s youngest squads facing off against one another! So far this season, Smart has averaged 9.8 points, 4.7 rebounds, 5.3 assists and 1.8 steals per game for the Celtics. This year, he’s managed to average a solid 27.3 FPPG for his loyal owners. This season, the Lakers rank 27th overall at defending against opposing shooting guards.
Small Forward
Thaddeus Young @ DET ($5,800)
Young is always a sketchy play from a DFS standpoint but you could do worse for this slate of games. So far this year, the Pistons rank 26th overall at defending against opposing small forwards. In 2017, Young has managed to average a nice 28.6 FPPG for his fantasy owners. This season, he’s averaging 14.8 points, 5.9 rebounds and 1.6 steals per game for the Pacers.
Bojan Bogdanovic @ DET ($4,800)

There is plenty of value to pick from in this contest, especially over at the small forward spot. In four of his last five outings, Bogdanovic has scored 29+ FPPG for his owners and should do well in this matchup. So far this season, he’s managed to average a decent 20.9 FPPG for his owners. This year, Bogdanovic has averaged 13.3 points, 3.0 rebounds and 1.7 assists per game for Indiana.
Power Forward
Alex Len vs. MIA ($4,800)
I truly prefer to pay up at the power forward spot for this slate of games! Len could be a super volatile option for this slate but I don’t mind taking a flyer on him. So far this year, the Heat rank 25th overall at defending against opposing power forwards. This season, Len has managed to average a cool 23.0 FPPG for his owners. Over his last two outings, Len has scored 22+ FPPG for the Suns.
Taj Gibson @ GSW ($4,500)
I wouldn’t mind sprinkling some Gibson into some of my lineups for Wednesday’s slate of games. So far this season, he’s averaging 8.7 points, 7.1 rebounds and 1.7 assists per game for the Wolves. In three of his last five games, Gibson has scored 33+ FPPG for his owners and draws a juicy matchup for this slate. This season, the Warriors rank 23rd overall at defending against opposing power forwards.
Center
Brook Lopez @ BOS ($6,100)
This is one matchup that I’m actually thinking Lopez can grab an above average amount of rebounds. So far this season, he’s averaging 16.4 points, 4.7 rebounds and 1.6 blocks per outing for the Lakers. Over his last three games, Lopez has scored 33+ FPPG for his loyal DFS owners. In 2017, the Celtics rank 12th overall at defending against opposing centers.
Tyson Chandler vs. MIA ($4,300)
It’s insane how much playing time Chandler is getting over much younger players in this Phoenix lineup. He’ll see every bit of 25 minutes in a nice matchup versus the Heat. So far this year, Miami ranks 25th overall at defending against opposing centers. This season, Chandler has managed to average a nice 20.9 FPPG for his owners. This year, he’s averaging 7.3 points and 9.3 rebounds per outing for the Suns.
