Welcome Back Everyone! Tonight’s main slate on FanDuel has a total of 11 games and the first set of match-ups tip off at 7:00 P.M. Eastern Time. This is big slate which should lead to less players being heavily owned. However, it’s very easy to get lost in the chaos and if that’s the case for you, good think you landed here. This article will go through a list of high-cost, high-value, and sleeper picks that I like for tonight’s games.

-NBA FanDuel Picks-
High Cost Picks:
Karl Anthony Towns – FD: ($11,600)
- KAT has a prime match-up tonight against a Hawks defense that is ranked 28th in the league. They don’t have a dominate presence at the center position to oppose KAT. He should easily surpass 10+ rebounds tonight and should score 25+ points. Despite the defensive woes from the Hawks, they have been competitive on the offensive end. That will only bode well for KAT because a close game will allow him to play 34+ minutes. Look for him to have a floor of 45 fantasy points tonight on FanDuel. (FPPG = 51.73)
LeBron James – FD: ($11,400)
- LeBron is getting it done night in and night out from a production stand-point. He’s currently averaging 25.2 PPG, 10.8 APG, & 7.6 RPG through the first 16 games on the season. The reason why you want him in your lineup is because even when he’s not scoring, he’s putting up a boat-load of assists. He’s already showed once this season he can dominate Vs. San Antonio. Back on November 3rd, LeBron dropped 21 points, 11 rebounds, 13 assists, 2 steals, and 1 block in 37 minutes of action against them. On top of that, San Antonio’s back is against the wall and this is a home game. They will do everything they can to at least make this game competitive. Look for LeBron to have a floor of 48 fantasy points. (FPPG = 52.68)
Bam Adebayo – FD: ($8,800)
- Adebayo is a great bounce-back candidate after the Heat got run out of the gym two nights ago Vs. Philadelphia. Nevertheless, tonights match-up against the Hornets is very exploitable for Bam. He will be going up against rookie PJ Washington, Cody Zeller, and Bismack Biyombo if it comes to that. Either way, his price is on the cheaper end for a guy who averages almost 40 fantasy points per game. The combination of Charlottes defense being ranked 22nd in the league and Miami being embarrassed in their last game; look for Adebayo to have a floor of 40 points tonight. (FPPG = 38.76)
High Value Picks:
Spencer Dinwiddie – FD: ($7,800)
- Dinwiddie is a a no brainer tonight on all DFS platforms. Brooklyn has been decimated by injuries including the one that has kept star PG Kyrie Irving out. In his absence, Dinwiddie hasn’t missed a beat. He has racked up at least 36 fantasy points on Fanduel in each of his last 5 outings. He has one of the highest usage rating percentages in the NBA right now slating only behind James Harden (when Irving & Lavert off floor). He will once again lead Brooklyn tomorrow night when they take on Cleveland in an away game. Look for Dinwiddie to have a floor of 38 fantasy points on FanDuel. With his price-tag, he is a steal. (FPPG = 31.4)
Fred Van Vleet – FD: ($7,700)
- Fred Van Vleet has been a rock for Toronto since Kyle Lowry went down with an injury. He is currently averaging 18.1 PPG, 7.7 APG, 3.9 RPG, & 1.8 STLS per game. Those are career high numbers across the board. Despite that being the case, he has always been one of the more consistent players in the rotation for Toronto. He was usually playing 3rd and 4th fiddle on most nights. Now he is tearing it up as he has hit at least 34 fantasy points on FanDuel in each of his last eight outings. He will be a lock once again tonight against a 76ers team that is struggling on the road this year. Look for him to have roughly 40 fantasy points tonight. (FPPG = 37.55)
Jonathan Isaac – FD: ($7,000)
- It is going to be very difficult make a lineup and not have Isaac in it tonight. Orlando is without Vucevic & Gordon for the near future and Isaac is first in line to lead the team. In his last game, he racked up 25 points, 9 rebounds, 4 steals, 2 blocks, and 1 assist in 29 minutes of action. His defensive prowess alone is what makes him such a value pick. His price tag is way too low and is only going to rise over the next week. Isaac has recorded at least 45 fantasy points on FanDuel in 4 out of his last 6 games. Look for him to have a floor of 40 fantasy points on FanDuel tonight. (FPPG = 35.8)
Marcus Smart – FD: ($6,400)
- It’s like the domino affect for Smart as he will once again be thrusted into an even larger role with fellow teammate Kemba Walker missing tonights action. He figures to see a large usage rating tonight and should have 12+ shot attempts. When Smart plays 30+ minutes there is a very high chance that he can accumulate some defensive points. Due to injuries, he is set to see at least 35 minutes tonight and will also see some ball handling duties. He is in a good position to have one of his better games of the season. Look for him to have a floor of 35 fantasy points on Fanduel. (FPPG = 28.3)
Sleeper Picks:
Ky Bowman – FD: ($4,600)
- Bowman is a solid sleeper option at the PG position tonight. It’s ‘injuries galore’ for Golden State right now and Bowman has stepped up nicely. He has shown some solid flashes this season, but has yet to put it all together. In his most recent outing he shot off for 43 points on FanDuel. He had 4 steals in that game which is something one can’t rely on each night. He has a really solid chance at hitting 30 points on FanDuel tonight against OKC. That’s all it would take for this pick to pay off. (FPPG = 16.6)
DeAndre Bembry – FD: ($4,600)
- Bembry comes into tonight with another very cheap price tag. He has played well since stepping into the starting lineup for the injured rookie Cam Reddish. If Reddish misses tonights game, Bembry will get another start and is definitely worth a look. , When he plays at least 28 minutes in games this year, he averages 31.8 fantasy points per game. This makes him more of a risky play if Reddish plays, but at the same time, Bembry is more than capable of putting up 30 fantasy points even while coming off the bench. Look for him to have a floor of 25 fantasy points on FanDuel. (FPPG = 22.2)
Mo Bamba – FD: ($4,100)
- If you are looking through the centers tonight and you really can’t choose, but you want to buy up at another position, just go with Bamba. The Magic are without Vucevic and Gordon for the near future. Tonight Orlando draws a match-up against Andre Drummond in which you would assume Bamba would be the counter to that. If this is the case, he could be looking at 25+ minutes tonight. That is all he needs to put up some damage. Last game Bamba had 22.9 fantasy points on FanDuel and played 21 minutes. Look for him to have a floor of 20 fantasy points on FanDuel tonight. If he plays at 25+ minutes, his ceiling could be upwards of 35. (FPPG = 13.1)
Brad Wannamaker – FD: ($4,000)
- Wannamaker will now be thrusted into a larger role for the Celtics as their starting PG Kemba Walker will miss tonights game with a neck injury. He has been playing nice as of late, as he has now scored at least 21 points on FanDuel in each of his last three outings. His price is only $4,000 on FanDuel tonight so if he puts up 25 points it’s worth the pick. Plus if you buy this low, you should be able to off-set it by buying up on a few studs. Look for Wannamaker to have a floor of 18 fantasy points on FanDuel tonight. (FPPG = 7.1)
