DFS NBA Droppin Dimes 3/12/2019

It is Tuesday and we are looking at a 7 game slate with a lot of value already open and more potential as the day goes on. The Bulls and Cavs teams both have a good amount of value plays on them.

 

Questionables- Towns & Wiggins are both listed as questionable-IF both sits then Jeff Teague picks up +13% usage. If just Towns sits then Taj Gibson becomes a solid play and if just Wiggins sits then Dario Saric and Keita Bates-Diop both become solid plays. Teague is now listed as questionable, so if he sits then look to Derrick Rose.

Luka Doncic is listed as questionable. IF Doncic sits out then Tim Hardaway Jr becomes an excellent play.

 

Slate over view. Team totals, spread, pace + pace differential (nice to see which teams get a nice bump) & opponents DvP by position.

 

POINT GUARD

Damian Lillard

Dame is  a good spot tonight vs a Clippers team that is rank 26th vs PGs over the past 2 weeks.

Rajon Rondo

Rondo is in play vs one of his old teams. Playing a ton of minutes right now.

Kris Dunn

LaVine is out and Dunn is priced at only 5.2k vs the Lakers who have been one of the worse defensive teams. This is also a nice pace bump for the Bulls and I like Dunn in pace up spots.

 

VALUE

Ryan Arcidiacono- Cheap option that should start and play close to 30 minutes vs the Lakers. Close to minimum price.

Brandon Knight- Cavs will be limited tonight and Knight is playing well as of late. Still 3.5k on both sites. Possible he comes on at low ownership again with all the value on the slate.

TJ McConnell- Butler is out, which should open up some additional minutes for McConnel. Pivot off some of the chalk value.

 

SHOOTING GUARD

Lou Williams

Williams is playing very well right now.

DeMar Derozan

 

VALUE

Gary Harris- Risk/Reward play. Price is way down.

Can use Brandon Knight here on DK.

 

SMALL FORWARD

Luka Doncic

Still under-priced on DK. Doncis has posted 50 FPs in both matchups vs the Spurs this year. In play if he is good to go. IF he sits load up on Tim Hardaway Jr.

Otto Porter Jr.

 

VALUE

Nikola Mirotic

Mirotic Price is way down and he gets a very good matchup tonight.

Davis Bertans

Rudy Gay is out, so Bertans will get a bump in minutes.

 

POWER FORWARD

Lauri Markkanen

Tobias Harris

Paul Milsap

 

VALUE

Moritz Wagner- The Lakers have given Wagner some runs over the last 2 games and he played very well. He played 27 and 34 minutes and posted 21 & 35 FPs respectively with double digit shot attempts in both games (11 & 13). In play tonight, but an even better play if Kuzma is out again.

 

CENTER

Jusif Nurkic

Nurkic is in a crush spot tonight vs the Clippers. This game should stay close and we could see Nurkic get 28 plus minutes. This year he is averaging 1.45 FPPM.

VALUE

Ante Zizic- Love will sit out on the back-to-back. Nance is out, Thompson is doubtful and Chriss may sit out as a result of the fight last night. Zizic has been solid producer this year averaging .96 FPPM. Potential for 30 plus minutes tonight at only 3,7K on DK.

 

Partial lineups 

Brandon Knight

Lauri Markkanen

Jusic Nurkic

Ante Zizic

Leaves average of $6900 per player.

Add Doncic in if he plays. Leaves $6200 per player.

 

** Giannis, Jokic are in play as well
