What’s up, GF2 fans! I’m back with my free NBA DFS FanDuel advice for the 12/29/16 slate of games. Thursday’s main slate will consist of a small six-game slate.

So, here are my NBA DFS value plays for the 12/29/16 slate:

Point Guard

Shelvin Mack, vs. PHI ($4,000)

George Hill could be back for this game for Utah but who knows what his limitations will be. I think we could probably plug Mack in one more time for our DFS lineups in a nice matchup. This year, the Sixer have given up an average of 43.4 FD points per game to opposing point guards. So far this season, Mack have managed to average a moderate 15.74 FD points per outing for his owners. If Utah gets up early, he could see a little extra time on the court as well.

Andrew Harrison, vs. OKC ($3,900)

This game will all depend on Mike Conley‘s health. Conley missed Memphis’ last game with a toe injury and Harrison ended up playing very well for our lineups. That game, he went for 12 points, five rebounds, six assists and two steals in 44 minutes for the Grizzlies. So far this season, Harrison has managed to average 17.2 FD points per game for his loyal DFS owners. In 2016, the Thunder have given up an average of 45.6 FD points per contest to opposing point guards.

Shooting Guard

Wesley Matthews, @ LAL ($5,700)

Dallas will receive a nice increase in pace against a young Lakers squad on Thursday night. The Mavericks will have to spread the floor to keep up with Los Angeles, which will greatly help Matthews’ fantasy value. So far this season, he’s managed to average a cool 24.3 FD points per outing for his owners. This year, the Lakers have allowed an average of 36.9 FD points per contest to opposing shooting guards.

Lou Williams, vs. DAL ($5,700)

On the other bench, we’ll have Lou Williams who is always a dynamic player for his team. This year, Williams has averaged 18.8 points, 2.4 rebounds and 3.2 assists in 25.1 minutes per game for Los Angeles. So far this season, Lou has averaged a smooth 27.44 FD points per game for his owners. In 2016, Dallas has given up an average of 34.5 FD points per contest to opposing shooting guards.

Small Forward

T.J. Warren, vs. TOR ($5,100)

Warren has finally seemed to shake off the aftermath of his head injury and is receiving more minutes for Phoenix. In two of his last three games, he has scored 29 FD points per outing for his owners and will be primed for another nice night for this slate. This year, Warren has managed to average a solid 24.7 FD points per outing for the Suns. So far this season, the Raptors have allowed an average of 35.8 FD points per game to opposing small forwards.

James Johnson, @ CHA ($5,000)

It seems like there is always sitting out injured for the Heat except for Johnson who is always ready to roll. This season, Johnson has averaged 21.58 FD points per game for his owners and could be in a nice spot for this slate versus Charlotte. So far this year, the Hornets have given up an average of 39.1 FD points per contest to opposing small forwards. Johnson offers the ability to score you points in a few different ways, so that’s always a plus.

Power Forward

Zach Randolph, vs. OKC ($5,600)

I’m just not in love with too may power forwards outside of Kevin Love for this slate. Randolph is a bit intriguing due to his consistent play as of late. Over his last three games, he has scored 27+ FD points per night for his owners and should fare well versus a mediocre Thunder defense. So far this year, Oklahoma City has given up an average of 41.4 FD points per contest to opposing power forwards.

Center

Cody Zeller, vs. MIA ($5,200)

Zeller is in a fantastic spot for this slate facing a porous group of Heat post players. So far this year, Miami has allowed an average of 47.7 FD points per game to opposing centers. With Hassan Whiteside not at a hundred percent, Zeller will have the opportunity to dominate the paint a bit more for this slate. This season, he’s managed to average a smooth 23.16 FD points per outing for his owners. In three of his last four games, Zeller has scored 30+ FD points per night for his owners.

Tyson Chandler, vs. TOR ($4,900)

Chandler really seems to meet value in every other game for the Suns. Well, according to his track record, Tyson should be a nice play for Thursday night. So far this year, he’s managed to average a cool 22.67 FD points per contest for his loyal DFS owners and draws a solid matchup for this slate. Over their last five games, the Raptors have given up an average of 49.9 FD points per night to opposing centers.

Well, those are my NBA DFS value plays for the 12/29/16 slate of games. Hopefully, with my advice, you guys will prosper on Thursday night. Thanks for reading and good luck, everyone!
