This Market Advantage column aims to discover players whose respective salaries are too low considering their expected production. This can obviously change from site-to-site, so I will outline the respective site featured that particular player's discount. The sites featured in today's column are FanDuel, DraftKings, and DraftDay.

However, just because a player is well-priced, it doesn't mean you should automatically click them into a lineup. Due to this, a label will be attached to every player (red/yellow/green light) assessing their viability for tonight's game.

So with that, here are the most favorably priced players in the Daily Fantasy Market for Friday, March 20:


Steven Adams – C – OKC: (DraftKings $4,500) (FanDuel $5,100) DraftDay ($9,300) GREEN LIGHT

Enes Kanter and Serge Ibaka are out, meaning Adams will play a ton of minutes and be called upon to clean up the glass in the highest projected scoring game of the day. He's one of the best value picks on the board.


Damian Lillard – PG – POR: (DraftKings $7,600) GREEN LIGHT

Still playable on FanDuel with this nice matchup, but the salary level is less prohibitive on DraftKings.


Goran Dragic – PG – MIA: (DraftKings $6,600) GREEN LIGHT

Same sentiment as Lillard in terms of viability across all sites. Dragic has a great matchup vs Denver (27th vs PG's), trying to notch his 3rd straight 40+ FP outing.


Beno Udrih – PG – MEM: (FanDuel $3,900), (DraftDay $6,350) GREEN LIGHT

If Mike Conley is rule out, Udrih is a satisfying cheap filler on FanDuel and DraftDay. He provides much needed salary cap relief and is unlikely to put up an FP total that hurts you.


DeMar DeRozan – SG – TOR: (FanDuel $7,400) (DraftDay $13,500) GREEN LIGHT

Price is a little better on FanDuel, and at a substantial discount on DraftDay. DeRozan deserves more consideration if Kyle Lowry is ruled out (listed as questionable), but he's a solid pick either way.


Randy Foye – SG – DEN: (FanDuel $4,600) (DraftKings $4,600) GREEN LIGHT

Foye has been producing with back-to-back 35+ FP outings. If he's in the starting lineup once again, I really like him for these respective price points.


Andre Iguodala – SF – GS: (DraftKings $4,400) GREEN LIGHT

He's still playable on FanDuel for $5,200 – but I wanted to highlight the salary on DraftKings. Iguodala will likely be called upon a little more with Klay Thompson out, and he even sees garbage time in the event of a blowout.


LaMarcus Aldridge – PF – POR (DraftKings $8,900) GREEN LIGHT

Better tag on DraftKings than anywhere else, so I'd actively target him over there. He has a pleasant matchup with Orlando, and I'm having a tough time envisioning any Magic frontcourt members chasing him around the perimeter.


Ersan Ilyasova – PF – MIL: (FanDuel $5,400) (DraftKings $5,200) GREEN LIGHT

The price tag is coming up, but he's still too cheap considering consistent 30-35 minutes (and FP) for Milwaukee. He's one of the better PF values in this price range.


Alexey Shved – PG – NYK: (DraftDay $10,750) GREEN LIGHT

A tad underpriced relative to FanDuel and DraftKings, where he is sitting above the average roster spot. He's a stronger play if Tim Hardaway Jr is ruled out.


Hassan Whiteside – C – MIA: (DraftDay $11,500) GREEN LIGHT

Flat out mispriced on DraftDay, where he's playable in all formats. I'm reserving him as more of a tournament option on FD & DK, despite the good matchup.


Al Jefferson – C – CHA: (DraftKings $6,900) YELLOW LIGHT

I'm only looking towards Jefferson if DeMarcus Cousins is out; still he's a secondary play even if that's the case.


Al Horford – C – ATL: (DraftKings $6,600) YELLOW LIGHT

DraftKings seems to be the land of the value Center, as there are substantial discounts in the mid-range category. There's some merit to playing Horford in this high scoring game.


Victor Oladipo – SG – ORL: (DraftDay $13,500) YELLOW LIGHT

To give you a comparison, he's in the same salary level as D-Wade on most sites, but $3,000 cheaper on DD. That's a drastic price difference, and Portland has been terrible at defending SG's since Wes Matthews went down. Oladipo becomes an even stronger play if Tobias Harris sits.
