It’s time once again, GF2 fans, for my free NBA DFS FanDuel advice for the Saturday slate of games! We’ll be looking at eight games on the main slate, which are packed full of favorable matchups. Like always, I’ll give you guys my top play and value pick for each position.
So, get ready and take notes!
NBA DFS FanDuel lineup advice for 12/12/15
Point Guards
Top Play: John Wall, vs. Mavericks ($9,500)
Wall has been absolutely stellar during the month of December and looks to carry on with that momentum! This season, he has averaged a cool 38.73 FanDuel points per game and will be taking on a beatable Dallas squad. So far in 2015, the Mavs have allowed an average of 40.4 FanDuel points per contest, making them a decent streaming target.
Value Pick: Patrick Beverley, vs. Lakers ($4,200)
Both the Lakers and Rockets are two of my favorite teams to stack against for DFS! This season, Los Angeles has allowed a league-worst 47.0 FanDuel points per game to opposing point guards. Beverley has seen his minutes increase over the last month and could really be a sneaky play for this slate.
Other Options:
Stephen Curry, vs. Bucks ($11,000)
Derrick Rose, vs. Pelicans ($6,600)
Shooting Guards
Top Pick: Jimmy Butler, vs. Pelicans ($8,500)
I know most of you are more than likely dying to start Harden, but Butler has an even better matchup! This year, the Pelicans have been pretty bad versus shooting guards, allowing an average of 38.4 FanDuel points per contest. So far in 2015, Butler has been fairly solid, averaging 35.86 FanDuel points per game.
Value Pick: Lou Williams, vs. Rockets ($4,900)

Williams is another player from this Rockets versus Lakers game who I think is going to kill it for this slate! This season, Houston has allowed an average of 35.1 FanDuel points per game. During the month of December, Williams has been really good and has averaged around 30 minutes per game.
Other Options:
James Harden, vs. Lakers ($10,800)
C.J. McCollum, vs. Knicks ($7,200)
Small Forwards
Top Pick: Nicolas Batum, vs. Celtics ($7,600)
I like Batum so much for this slate of games that I put him over Paul George and Carmelo Anthony! Well, George and Anthony have ultra-tough matchups, so Batum will have to do. This season, he has averaged 32.60 FanDuel points per contest and will be facing off against a weak Boston defense. So far this season, the Celtics have allowed an average of 34.6 FanDuel points per game to opposing small forwards.
Value Pick: Andre Iguodala, vs. Bucks ($4,900)
With Harrison Barnes still on the shelf for the Warriors, Iguodala continues to be a solid streaming option. This year, he has averaged 21.54 FanDuel points per contest and will take on a beatable Bucks defense. In 2015, Milwaukee has given up an average of 37.0 FanDuel points per contest to opposing small forwards.
Other Options:
Marcus Morris, vs. Pacers ($5,800)
Khris Middleton, vs. Warriors ($5,500)
Power Forwards
Top Pick: Draymond Green, vs. Bucks ($8,100)
It’s always so easy for me to play any big man who takes the court versus Milwaukee this season! So far this year, the Bucks have been dreadful versus opposing power forwards, allowing an average of 42.8 FanDuel points per game to them. In 2015, Green has been ultra consistent, averaging 35.79 FanDuel points per contest.
Value Pick: Julius Randle, vs. Rockets ($6,400)
Randle is by far one of my favorite value plays for this slate of games! He’s been solid overall this season, averaging 27.34 FanDuel points per game. I told you guys I love to stack against the Rockets, who allow an average of 46.6 FanDuel points per contest to opposing power forwards this year.
Other Options:
Pau Gasol, vs. Pelicans ($8,600)
Dirk Nowitzki, vs. Wizards ($7,200)
Centers
Top Pick: Andre Drummond, vs. Pacers ($9,300)
Drummond is by far the most obvious choice for me at the center position for this Saturday slate. This season, he has averaged a lucrative 43.81 FanDuel points per game, making him one of the best options at center for DFS purposes. So far in 2015, the Pacers have allowed an average of 46.5 FanDuel points per contest to opposing centers, making Drummond a shoe in for your DFS lineups.
Value Pick: Amir Johnson, vs. Hornets ($4,800)
Since I gave you guys such an obvious top play, my value pick will be a little bit crazier! This season, Johnson has averaged just 20.03 FanDuel points per game, but he draws a really good matchup for Saturday night. This year, the Hornets have allowed an average of 46.7 FanDuel points per game to opposing centers and have been especially worse since the loss of Al Jefferson. I’m not saying Johnson is going to knock your socks off, but he could very well be a sneaky center option!
Other Options:
Dwight Howard, vs. Lakers ($7,700)
Tim Duncan, vs. Hawks ($6,500)
