NBA DFS FanDuel Lineup Advice: Values 12/23/15
Alright, GF2 Fans, it’s time once again for some NBA DFS FanDuel lineup advice! I typically give you all a full breakdown for all the games, but today we’re going to try something a little different. Geoff likes to give you guys some value plays at each position, so I’m going to try to do the same thing for this slate of games. There will be a massive 13 games played on Wednesday night, so there will be a ton of players to choose from! All my value plays will be under $6,000.
So, here’s my value plays for 12/23/15:
Point Guards
Jordan Clarkson, vs. Thunder ($5,600)
Clarkson has been one of the most consistent players for the Lakers this season. So far this year, he’s averaged 23.20 FanDuel points per game and will be facing off against a mediocre Thunder defense. This season, Oklahoma City has allowed an average of 42.0 FanDuel points to opposing point guards, so Clarkson could be in line for a nice night!
Tony Parker, vs. Wolves ($5,500)
Parker is another player who I could see having a huge game at a cheap price for the point guard spot. He’s facing off against a Minnesota squad, who allows an average of 43.2 FanDuel points per game to his position. Parker has once again been a solid fantasy performer in 2015, averaging 23.64 FanDuel points per contest.
Shooting Guards
Monta Ellis, vs. Kings ($5,700)
Ellis hasn’t been the best fit so far within this Pacers offense, but he does, however, have a great matchup for this slate of games. This season, the Kings have allowed an average of 37.7 FanDuel points per contest to opposing shooting guards, so there is hope for Monta. In his first season with the Pacers, Ellis has scored an average of 24.59 FanDuel points per game.
Avery Bradley, vs. Hornets ($5,200)
The shooting guard position is always rather thin from top to bottom for DFS purposes. I feel like Bradley could indeed be a nice overall play at a position where he is averaging 23.36 FanDuel points per game. The Hornets aren’t very good at all versus opposing shooting guards, allowing an average of 37.8 FanDuel points per game this year.
Small Forwards
Robert Covington, vs. Bucks ($5,700)
Covington has endured a bit of a rough patch over the last few games, but I fully see him bouncing back against Milwaukee! The Bucks haven’t been good defensively so far this season, allowing an average of 36.6 FanDuel points to opposing small forwards in 2015. So far this season, Covington has been one of the most consistent fantasy contributors for the 76ers, averaging 25.45 FanDuel points per contest.
Matt Barnes, vs. Wizards ($4,900)

Barnes has been absolutely solid over the last two weeks for the Grizzlies! On Wednesday night, he draws a super easy matchup against a Washington team, who allows a league-worst 41.4 FanDuel points to opposing small forwards. If you’re looking to go cheap at the small forward position then Barnes should be a guy you have in your lineups!
Power Forwards
Nerlens Noel, vs. Bucks ($5,700)
I catch myself picking on this Milwaukee defense any chance I get when it comes to playing DFS. This year, the Bucks have allowed an average of 43.5 FanDuel points per contest to opposing power forwards. Noel got into a bit of a slump and dealt with an injury, but he has bounced back nicely over the last week. Averaging 23.42 FanDuel points per night, Noel will be a good play for this slate of games.
Jabari Parker, vs. 76ers ($4,800)
As bad as the Bucks are on defense, the 76ers are equally bad! This season, Philadelphia has allowed a league-worst 48.4 FanDuel points per contest to opposing power forwards. Parker has looked really good during the month of December, so I see no reason why you guys shouldn’t give him a try on Wednesday night!
Centers
Mason Plumlee, vs. Pelicans ($5,300)
Plumlee was one of my favorite sleeper options at center coming into the 2015 season and he’s been overall consistent thus far. He’s averaging 24.62 FanDuel points per game and will be facing off against a New Orleans squad, who allows an average of 49.5 FanDuel points per contest this year. Plumlee should easily be able to get you all, at least, his average value on Wednesday.
Enes Kanter, vs. Lakers ($4,800)
Kanter is by far one of my favorite value plays for this slate of games! He’s facing off against a Lakers team, who has allowed an average of 49.9 FanDuel points per game. Just a few games ago, Kanter went off against this Los Angeles squad to the tune of 39.8 FanDuel points!
