Whats up guys? Tonight we have a typical Thursday night six-game slate. These slates tend to be my sweet spot, but on a night like tonight that features five guys over 9K (Paul George is only $8,900, but close enough), values will extremely important.
I’m going to try and avoid some of the obvious value plays tonight, you know, the ones we have been playing for weeks. I’m going to dive a little deeper to find that guy no one will be talking about. Good luck!

NBA DFS Fanduel Lineup Advice: Values for 3/31/16
Point Guard
Shane Larkin @ CLE $3,900
At $3,900, Larkin has hit at least five times value in four straight games, and one of those four games was against these same Cavaliers in which he had 28 — his highest point total of the four.
Tim Frazier vs DEN $4,000
It’s hard to judge this guy is any good or if he is just a bi-product of “someone has to score?” Now that Jrue Holiday is out for the season….someone has to score.
Shooting Guard
Will Baron @ NO $5,400
Don’t look now, but there has been a Will Barton sighting. With four straight games over 25 fanduel points, including two straight over 34, Barton against the lowly Pels may be one of this slate’s steals. Despite the lack of star power in New Orleans, the Pels are managing to keep games close enough that the opposing team has to play the entire game, so need to worry about players sitting out the fourth quarter.
Small Forward
Jordan Hamilton vs DEN $3,600
Shout out to Chris Valentine for bringing this guy to my attention last night. Hamilton had 26 fanduel points last night, and that’s on a night where he probably saw some of Kawhi Leonard’s defense, so the Nuggets shouldn’t be as much of a challenge. The Pels kept it close with the Spurs last night, and Hamilton got 24 non-junk-time minutes, so expect him to have similar playing time tonight.
Power Forward
Andrew Nicholson @ IND $4,200

This pick will rely heavily on the status of Nikola Vucevic. If he misses this game, then Nicholson becomes, maybe, the top value play at power forward. He has hit five times value six of his last seven games and gets a good matchup with the Pacers.
Ed Davis vs BOS $4,600
Davis has been a popular value pick for me for some time, but because his ownership seems to stay low, his price tag hasn’t moved much. He has had 22 or more fanduel points seven straight games, and tonight gets the bad defensive front court of the Boston Celtics.
Center
Alexis Ajinca vs DEN $3,900
Ajinca falls into that category of “someone has to score”. His upside is limited, but at $3,900, he should have no trouble hitting five times value tonight.
