Saturday Value Play Analysis

Golden State will take advantage of Whiteside great inside presence to toughen up their interior defense which they badly needed since Andrew Bogut left the team last summer. He can protect the rim, have a good mid range jumper and can give a triple-double performance every

Jimmy Butler vs OKC ($8,000) - OKC vs CHI will be a high scoring game, both teams allow over a 100 points per game and score over a 100 points per game. And the Thunder are allowing shooting guards to average around 40 fantasy points a game. This sounds like a big night for Butler.

The NBA season is finally back and after a few games under our belts it’s time to start browsing on the waiver wire. Even though the season is young it never hurts to keep tabs on a few key players who could potentially be targeted for you lineup. One player who has quickly gained my attention is Detroit Pistons’ small forward Marcus Morris. There are a plethora of other players who warrant some attention and those are exactly the players we’ll look at right now!

Avery Bradley vs MIN ($6,800) - Bradley has been the definition of consistent this season, posting 30 or more fantasy points in 11 of his 13 games. Plus, the T’Wolves aren't playing Thibs type defense just yet.

On Monday, Williams cleared waivers and is now a free-agent. But who will take a shot on the young running back that has shown he can play at this level?

Ezekiel Elliott- Ezekiel Elliott recorded 39.9 fantasy points on Sunday afternoon against the 49ers. Zeke went off and once again showed why he is an elite fantasy running back when he plays. The main issue with Zeke is that there is a chance his suspension is reinstated which would be awful for any of his owners so if you can trade him away for another top RB1 do it without much

D’Angelo Russell vs PHO ($6,700) - Russell is starting to find a consistency as he has posted over 31 fantasy points in five of his last seven games. A game between Phoenix and Los Angeles should be pretty high scoring too. Both of these teams allow their opponents to average over a 110 points a game. As well, the Suns are allowing point guards

Blake Griffin vs BKN ($8,700) - Blake has been nothing short of solid, posting 37+ fantasy points in five straight games. As well, the Nets are giving up almost 50 fantasy points a night to power forwards and have a questionable defense at best.

Giannis Antetokounmpo vs IND ($10,000) - Before the Bucks got embarrassed in OKC, GIannis dropped 60+ fantasy points in back to back games. I’m expecting something similar in a bounce-back game tonight against the Pacers. Plus, the Pacers aren’t the lockdown team they were a few seasons ago.

Trevor Ariza vs BKN ($5,500) - The Nets allow the most fantasy points to small forwards in the league. And, as mentioned above,

LeBron James vs MIN ($11,000) - After those comments LeBron made about Charles Barkley, you know he is coming to play tonight. Plus, LeBron has been pretty steady, posting over 43 fantasy points in seven straight games. The Cavs could also use a win with the Celtics and Raptors not far behind in the standings.

Nine games are on tap in the NBA this Saturday and we’re back to filter through the studs and duds as we break down top options at each position on FanDuel. Here’s a look at today’s value plays.

The Nets then decided to sign some minor deals to a few NBA journeymen who could help the roster. Andrea Bargnani, Shane Larkin, Thomas Robinson, and Wayne Ellington, all bring offensive sparks to the team (and at a cheap price to boot)! Larkin will most likely back up Jarret Jack at the point guard position now that Williams is

Four first round picks and two second round picks- The Hornets think Frank Kaminsky is worth more than that. I was shocked when I heard this. How can a team pass up four first round picks for Frank Kaminsky? Not only did they pass up the picks, but also if they had taken the trade, they would have moved down to pick 16 and Kaminsky likely still would have been on the draft board. I am still baffled by the Hornets decision to reject that trade.

Rajon Rondo vs MIN ($8,600) - The Timberwolves have allowed point guards to average 47 fantasy points a night over their last five games. Rondo has also been pretty consistent, posting 40 plus fantasy points in three of his last four.
