DFS NBA FanDuel Lineup Advice & Spreadsheet 12/14/16
I’m short on time tonight, which seems to be a common theme lately, so I won’t waste time with a long intro. Here is todays sheet…
NBA FanDuel Spreadsheet 12/14/16
NBA DFS Legend
Nothing But Net | My top plays of the night at his position. |
Dunk | A Dunk is a second or third tier player with the highest upside. |
Half-Court Shot | Otherwise known as a “punt play.” A Low-priced, high-upside player. |
Blocked Shot | A player I’ll be avoiding. Otherwise known as “Fading.” |
**Main Slate
Point Guard
Nothing But Net | John Wall $9,700 vs CHA
Wall gets the slight nod over Russell Westbrook tonight. The money you save by rostering Wall over Westbrook will go a long way to building a better roster. Westbrook’s matchup with the slow paced Utah Jazz hurts his value some.
Dunk | Goran Dragic $7,400 vs IND
I can never get on the right side of Dragic, but I’m going to try it again. He has only scored under 30 FanDuel points once in nine games (Dec 9th @ CLE — the night I played him). This will be a slight pace up game for Dragic and he should continue his hot streak tonight.
Half-Court Shot | Tyler Johnson $5,300 vs IND
It’s not often I take two players from the same team at the same position, but Johson plays more shooting guard than he does point. With all of the Heat’s injuries, he has become one of their better scoring options next to Dragic and Hassan Whiteside. He should have no trouble with the Pacers defense.
Blocked Shot | Kemba Walker $7,400 @ WAS
On the road and a bad matchup. No thanks.
Shooting Guard
Nothing But Net | James Harden $11,700 vs SAC

He is the shooting guard version of Westbrook. Whenever he plays, you can lock him in as the top play.
Dunk | Evan Fournier $5,500 vs LAC
He flirted with 40 FanDuel points in his last two games and should be able to continue that streak with a good matchup against J.J. Redick.
Half-Court Shot | Josh Richardson $4,500 vs IND
There isn’t a lot I love in the value side of small forward, but Richardson has some decent upside at $4,500.
Blocked Shot | Avery Bradley $6,900 @ SA
Small Forward
Nothing But Net | Gordon Hayward $8,100 vs OKC
Hayward has been ultra consistent this year and now he’ll get an OKC team on the second night of a back to back.
Dunk | None
Half-Court Shot | Bojan Bogdanovic $4,400 vs LAL
He had a tough night in Houston last game, but up until then had been playing well. The Lakers are a great matchup for him and should have no trouble hitting value at $4,400.
Blocked Shot | Paul George $8,300 @ MIA
I still can’t trust Paul George for anything more than a GPP play.
Power Forward
Nothing But Net | Blake Griffin $9,100 @ ORL
After the bad game against the Warriors, he was given the following game off. He returned against the Blazers and played a season-high 40 minutes. He may not see 40 minutes tonight but should flirt with 50-plus FanDuel points.
Dunk | Ersan Ilyasova $5,600 vs TOR
He has been playing huge minutes lately, and despite his above average production of late, FanDuel has not raised his price much.
Half-Court Shot | Markieff Morris $5,000 vs CHA
I tried hard not to put him here, but too many of metrics said he was in a good spot here, so numbers don’t lie. I don’t love him, but at $5,000 he is viable.
Blocked Shot | Serge Ibaka $6,200 vs LAC
With Griffin back in the lineup, Ibaka will have a hard time reaching value.
Center
Nothing But Net | Marc Gasol $8,900 vs CLE
I could have easily put DeMarcus Cousins here, and maybe he should be, but with the way Gasol has played lately combined with his much lower price tag and a matchup with the big-three-less Cavs (Kevin Love, LeBron James and Kyrie Irving all out) he should easily outperform his price tag.
Dunk | Joel Embiid $7,000 vs TOR
Half-Court Shot | None
Blocked Shot | DeAndre Jordan $7,000 @ORL
I just don’t like his upside at $7,000. He has to have 35 FanDuel points to hit value. Something he has only done once in his last six games.
