FanDuel NBA: Tuesday Value Plays

FanDuel NBA: Tuesday Value Plays

This article is part of our FanDuel NBA series.

Patrick Beverley HOU vs ORL ($5,600) – Beverley is always an afterthought with all of the other options the Rockets have. His minutes are steadily in the low-30s and he'll get a great matchup against the Magic tonight. Orlando has given up the ninth most fantasy points to opposing guards on the season and playing with James Harden should get Beverley some open looks behind the arc.

Yogi Ferrell, DAL vs POR ($6,100) – Of course using Ferrell depends on the status on Deron Williams but it's likely he'll sit out another game especially with the way Ferrell is playing. Ferrell has been excellent since joining the starting lineup scoring between 24.1 and 39.9 fantasy points. This is a plus matchup for him as well, with the Trail Blazers playing an uptempo style of ball and the fact they've given up the 10th most fantasy points to opposing point guards over the last five games.

Seth Curry, DAL vs POR ($6,100) – Curry has seen his price increase and it's a close call between him and teammate Wesley Matthews ($5,800) tonight. Curry gets the nod here due to his ability to accrue points in more than actual scoring. Curry has scored double-digit points in 10 straight games and has performances of 32, 39.6 and 43.5 fantasy points in three of his last six. Don't hesitate to use more than one of the Maverick guards tonight given the limited three-game slate.

Frank Kaminsky, CHA vs BRO ($4,500) – Frank the Tank! As long as Cody Zeller is ruled out (which is expected), Kaminsky's minutes will be secure. He's scored 21.9, 39.4 and 23.8 fantasy points in three of his last four contests.

Michael Kidd-Gilchrist, CHA vs BRO ($5,200) – Picking on the Nets is a good idea especially if you can get someone like MKG at a mid-priced level. Brooklyn is giving up the most fantasy points to opposing small forwards on the season and, in this same matchup on Jan. 21, he had 37.3 fantasy points. There's a really safe floor of 3.6X here (12 of his last 13 he's hit that mark), and he's hit over 5X in six of those.

Serge Ibaka, ORL at HOU ($5.900) – Ibaka is coming off a 8.4 fantasy-point dud in his last game but had games of 40.9, 40.3 and 36 in the prior three outings. This is going to be a fast-paced game and Ryan Anderson doesn't have the athleticism to deal with Ibaka on either end of the court. There's a solid floor here and the upside with Serge makes him playable in both cash and GPPs.

Salah Mejri DAL vs POR ($4,000) – Again, Portland has been terrible all season, giving up the 10th most fantasy points to opposing centers. Mejri has recently come into the good graces of the Dallas coaching staff and has posted 16 and 39.4 fantasy points over his last two games. That's a 4X floor with a 9.9X upside (something he did three games ago), if Andrew Bogut is out as expected.

Mason Plumlee, POR at DAL ($6,400) – There's a really safe floor here as Plumlee has scored over 21 fantasy points in every game since Christmas (21 games). He should be able to take advantage of the matchup against Dirk Nowitzki or the aforementioned Mejri, neither of whom should be able to keep Plumlee off the board. Clint Capela ($5,100) is another attractive option if you're looking for a bit of a discount.
