The Value Vault, Free NBA FanDuel DFS Advise for 11/04
If you’ve read any of my NFL articles, you know I treasure value in daily fantasy sports. “Value” is represented in those players that are likely to produce well over their salaries and send your line-up rocketing to the top of a tournament contest. Value can come in several forms. It can be the back-up subbing for an injured or resting starter or it can be a player who’s been in a slump or who’s been facing tough competition suddenly faced with an easy match-up. Whatever form value comes in, I’ll try to identify it for you, so you can incorporate it into your line-ups.
I won’t be writing this column daily (I have a bar to run and an NFL article to post), nor will I be offering complete line-ups as I do for NFL. I’ll simply be pointing out those players you should probably double-check when you’re filling out your FanDuel NBA line-ups.
PG Matthew Dellavadova ($4,200) Priced at a bargain basement $4,200, Dellavadova has been rewarding his owners handsomely this season, averaging 23.5 FanDuel points per game. Tonight he takes on a New York squad without JR Smith available, meaning he should see a nice bump in his minutes, since he should be in line to get the start at the shooting guard position.
SG Evan Fournier ($4,500) Can you say “break out season?” Fournier is averaging nearly 30 FanDuel points a game and getting big minutes. In fact, over his last three games he played 45, 35 and 43 minutes! He exploded last night for 30 real life points and 44 FanDuel points, nearly 10 times his salary. Tonight he faces a Rockets team giving up 39 1/2 points a game to the position.
SG Kent Bazemore ($4,700) Bazemore has been playing well recently while starting at the small forward position, scoring at least 20 FanDuel points in each of his last three starts. Keep an eye on the injury reports today. If Thabo Sefolosha is still out and Kyle Korver rests his gimpy ankle in the second game of a back to back, Bazemore should see all the minutes he can handle tonight.
C Greg Monroe ($8,200) Out of Andre Drummond’s shadow, Monroe is having a break out year himself, averaging over 40 FanDuel points a game. His salary won’t remain this low for long. Tonight he faces a 76ers team which has traditionally struggled to guard big men. On the short season, they’re allowing over 50 FanDuel points a game to the center position.
