NBA Market Advantage: Wed, March 25

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 Wednesday, March 25:

POINT GUARD

Damian Lillard – DraftKings $6700 GREEN LIGHT

Way too cheap on DraftKings, especially if LaMarcus Aldridge (and Nic Batum) miss this game. For comparison's sake, he's $8700 on FanDuel, which is probably a more justified salary. Ignore the tough matchup and take advantage of the discount if LaMarcus Aldridge is out.

Elfrid Payton – FanDuel $7300, DraftDay $13300 GREEN LIGHT

Better price tag on FanDuel, where he's actually cheaper than DraftKings. Also, he's a relative value play on DraftDay, sitting below similar options like Goran Dragic, Kemba Walker, etc. I'd like him even more if Tobias Harris (questionable) were ruled out.

Jeff Teague – FanDuel $6400, DraftKings $6200 YELLOW LIGHT (TOURNAMENT)

His price is depressed due to lower minute totals as Atlanta hits the home stretch with a lead in the East. There's no telling how much playing time he'll see on any given play, but the price point is low enough to warrant tournament consideration.

Jeremy Lin – DraftKings $4800 GREEN LIGHT

He's $5500 on DraftKings and $10,700 on DraftDay, so there's decent value in his DK tag. He'll likely be starting once again in a great matchup at Minnesota, making Lin a decent G or UTIL play if the salary fits.

Jordan Clarkson – DraftDay $8000 GREEN LIGHT

He's much cheaper than his counterpart, Jeremy Lin, on DraftDay ($10700 to $8000). Clarkson is most preferred on DraftDay in a great matchup vs Minnesota.

Lorenzo Brown – FanDuel $3900, DraftKings $3100, DraftDay $5800 GREEN LIGHT IF MARTIN OUT / OTHERWISE RED LIGHT

If Kevin Martin (questionable) sits, Brown will be locked into heavy minutes in a good matchup vs the Lakers. He's not a 100% must play, but the situation would be favorable enough to consider him one of the better punts of the day – especially if you are trying to work in Anthony Davis, Harden, Westbrook, or Cousins. He would be an especially valuable play on DraftDay.

SHOOTING GUARD

Eric Bledsoe – DraftKings $8200 GREEN LIGHT

He's playable on all sites with a great matchup vs Sacramento. However, I wanted to point out the salary on DraftKings, which checks in as a slightly better value than FanDuel or DraftKings.

Dion Waiters – FanDuel $4600 YELLOW LIGHT

He's not a 100% great play in this tough matchup. However, Waiters will see plenty of minutes in a high scoring game. In comparison, he's $5000 on DraftKings. I'm viewing Waiters as a cash game filler.

SMALL FORWARD

Andrew Wiggins – FanDuel $6000 DraftDay $10550 GREEN LIGHT IF MARTIN OUT / OTHERWISE YELLOW LIGHT

This pick is somewhat contingent on Kevin Martin's status. If Martin is out, more shots will flow Wiggins' way in a great matchup vs the Lakers. He's actually cheaper on FanDuel, making him a much better value than DK ($6300) after factoring in $/available cap.

Joe Ingles – FanDuel $3500, DraftKings $3200, DraftDay $5,200 GREEN LIGHT

Ingles is probably one of the safer minimum salary punt plays tonight. He'll likely see extended playing time with Gordon Hayward and Rodney Hood doubtful.

LeBron James – DraftKings $10100 YELLOW LIGHT

It's pretty odd that LeBron is nearly $1000 cheaper on DK than FD. That's the only place I would target him, as I'd rather go with other expensive players when paying up (Westbrook, Davis, Harden, Cousins). If you are firing out multiple tournament lineups on DraftKings, LeBron fits comfortably with a reduced salary.

Rudy Gay – DraftKings $7700 YELLOW LIGHT / BORDERLINE GREEN

He's $8600 on FanDuel, so there's a modest discount against this weak Phoenix frontcourt. I would rather have Kawhi Leonard, because I think he's a bit safer than Gay on a back-to-back. Rudy is still a tournament option (borderline cash playable) on DK.

Dorrell Wright – DraftDay $5000 GREEN LIGHT IF ALDRIDGE OUT / OTHERWISE RED LIGHT

His price tag still hasn't moved off minimum salary on DraftDay, while it has jumped on DraftKings and particularly FanDuel. Take advantage of that if he gets another start with LaMarcus Aldridge and Nic Batum out.

POWER FORWARD

Anthony Davis – DraftKings $11200 GREEN LIGHT

There's a $1200 price difference from FanDuel to DraftKings. He profiles as one of the best fantasy plays of the day, and this discount on DK only furthers his prospects.

Kenneth Faried – FanDuel $7000 GREEN LIGHT

He's cheaper on FanDuel than DraftKings, and a little less than similar PF's like Derrick Favors, Nerlens Noel, and Paul Millsap. He's a great target across the industry – but particularly on FanDuel – while considering a great home matchup vs Philadelphia.

Paul Millsap – DraftKings $7500 YELLOW LIGHT

He's priced similarly to Faried and below other similar options like Favors and Noel on DK. That provides some relative value to consider. While his upside may be somewhat limited, Millsap makes for a safe cash game option.

Markieff Morris – DraftKings $6400 YELLOW LIGHT (TOURNAMENT)

He's $7000 on FanDuel, so there's a small discount in his DK tag. I'm viewing Markieff as more of a tournament option as a streaky shooter, especially if Brandon Knight returns.

Marcus Morris – FanDuel $5500, DraftKings $5500 GREEN LIGHT IF KNIGHT OUT / OTHERWISE RED LIGHT

If Brandon Knight (questionable) sits out, Marcus becomes a great lower mid-range value play. He'll be locked into heavy minutes once again, enjoying a sweet high-scoring draw vs Sacramento. If Brandon Knight plays, you can safely write him off.

CENTER

DeMarcus Cousins – DraftKings $9600 GREEN LIGHT

The price tag is still way too cheap on DraftKings, sitting $1100 below his FanDuel salary. The matchup against Phoenix is nice, but there's a little bit of hesitation rostering DMC on the road in this b2b setting. He's a good play, but there's opportunity cost on tonight's extended slate.

Rudy Gobert – DraftDay $11750 GREEN LIGHT

Head on over to DraftDay for the Rudy Gobert sale: running every night the Jazz play! He is chronically underpriced on DD, sitting below other options like Kanter, Jefferson, and Gorgui Dieng.

Enes Kanter – FanDuel $6900 GREEN LIGHT (BEST VALUE)

Kanter's price tag hasn't risen enough to offset his recent production on FanDuel. He's a comfortable play in this high scoring matchup, probably one of the best cash game options at the position.

Steven Adams – FanDuel $5500 GREEN LIGHT

Similar sentiment to Kanter, as FanDuel just hasn't moved his price tag despite the uptick in recent production with Serge Ibaka out.
