With guys like Russell Westbrook and Anthony Davis dropping 60+ fantasy point games, they will be staples in the lineups for many of us. But... To grab those players, value is crucial in NBA, just like any other DFS sport. Value opens up through injuries, site pricing, and rotational changes. We are staying on top of that for you here, talking about the best value at each position. A reminder a nice landmark for Fantasy value is 5x, but having a few plays with only a 3x isn't terrible either.

Point Guard

Goran Dragic, Miami Heat @ Philadelphia 76ers ($6,700 FD / $6,600 DK)

While the Heat are certainly in flux in terms of injuries and play right now, a trip to face the 76ers tends to make things better. At his reduced pricing, and with the upside we've seen from Goran Dragic over the last few years, it's clear this is a high upside proposition. With Dion Waiters reportedly back in the lineup, Dragic has another weapon to get to ball to for assist potential. As Justice Winslow is still nursing an injury, the Heat will need to rely on Dragic to continue to be a prominent player on offense.

DFC Projection: FanDuel: 33.48 / DraftKings: 38.16

Jeff Teague, Golden State Warriors @ Indiana Pacers ($6,600 FD / $6,900 DK)

It seems Jeff Teague is going to be one of those players who's just reliably a player you can have at a value across all sites. In fact, Jeff Teague was in this article last week. The Warriors certainly aren't a team to mess with from an offensive standpoint, but defensively they've certainly had more cracks in the armor than last year.Jeff Teague always tend to play up to the competition, and with the way the game-flow of this game should work out, he's in for solid all-around numbers. As we've seen, as the Warriors have evolved, they've sometimes gotten more careless with the ball (EX: throwing egregious behind the back passes). If that shows itself again. Teague has some potential for steals as well.

DFC Projection: FanDuel: 34.30 DraftKings: 38.50

Shooting Guard

Gerald Henderson, Miami Heat @ Philadelphia 76ers ($3,900 FD $3,500 DK)

Gerald Henderson is certainly not someone you look to if you need someone to carry your lineup, but overall, he looks like a nice value to combine with some high upside plays. The only reason you're playing Henderson is to get some value, but overall, he should be able to be a reasonable cash game option. This matchup features some injured players on both sides, and should make things a bit easier for the secondary players.

DFC Projection: FanDuel: 20.16 DraftKings: 22.12

Dion Waiters, Miami Heat @ Philadelphia 76ers ($5,000 FD / $5,100 DK)

Speaking of injured players in this game, Dion Waiters is coming off injury, and should see his first significant playing time in a few days. Waiters is certainly viable with his new role and how he's been used in the games he has played this year. Waiters has taken on a much more prominent role, and should be considered as such moving forward. He's simply mis-priced tonight because of his injury, and should be taken advantage of in all formats because of that price.

DFC Projection: FanDuel: 26.95 DraftKings: 29.75

Small Forward

PJ Tucker, Phoenix Suns @ Washington Wizards ($4,000 FD/ $4,100 DK)

P.J. Tucker is sort of an unsung hero for the Suns, and should be considered a nice tournament upside play with peripheral stats. The Wizards are certainly strong in terms of guards, but overall, they've been weak in the middle of the lineup and down low so far. Tucker is clearly set at a solid value, and with his projected minutes for tonight's game, he should be on the floor enough to provide upside.

DFC Projection: FanDuel: 24.75 DraftKings: 26.73

Jabari Parker, Orlando Magic @ Milwaukee Bucks ($6,700 FD / $6,400 DK)

Jabari Parker is really coming into his own in year three, and that's a terrifying thought for the rest of the league. With Parker establishing himself as a potentially top scorer and solid athlete, he brings that upside to a daily role. He faced a young and inexperienced Magic team, and should be able to find his way through the heart of this defense on a regular basis. Barring injury trouble or something strange happening, Parker is an extremely high floor play at his price.

DFC Projection: FanDuel: 33.95 DraftKings: 36.75

Power Forward

Jared Dudley, Phoenix Suns @ Washington Wizards ($4,100 FD / $4,000 DK)

Jared Dudley isn't going to blow the top off his fantasy point totals tonight, but based on the role and upside he has in the shooting department, he's worth a look as a tournament punt. At this stage in Dudley's career, it's clear that he's simply a role player, but overall, he still has a bit of upside. Dudley's shooting has been inconsistent to say the least this year, but overall, we know what type of skills he has in that area, and if he catches fire early, this is one of the higher floor moves at cheap prices.

DFC Projection: FanDuel: 22.91 DraftKings: 25.52

Frank Kaminsky, Memphis Grizzles @ Charlotte Hornets ($4,300 FanDuel/$4,400 DK)

As Kaminsky comes into his own as an NBA player, he certainly brings a wide variety of skills to the table. HIs ability to see the floor and shoot for a big man is pretty special, and with increased minutes and role beginning to happen, his fantasy upside is beginning to come into form. Kaminsky certainly wouldn't be known as a 'banger' down low who can deal with Mark Gasol, but the rest of the group is relatively weak overall. Kaminsky is still extremely cheap for his recent production and minutes, and should be able to fit into multiple ways of lineup construction.

DFC Projection: FanDuel: 24.65 DraftKings: 27.26

Center

Alex Len, Phoenix Suns @ Washington Wizards ($4,900 FD / $5,000 DK)

In the sense that this game in general has upside, Alex Len is a nice piece on DraftKings. It's tough to talk yourself into Len on Fanduel, especially with some of the top options at the position playing tonight, but overall, his price is cheap enough to consider in all formats. We saw at times last year that Len was viable in all formats, and with his new role on the team, it facilitates the process even more. Len has solid upside against the Wizards front court and should be considered a solid option in all formats.
