NBA DFS WEDNESDAY 4-25

Shorter version today.  Players listed in order with value at the end.

Point Guards:

1. John Wall
2. Chris Paul
3. Russell Westbrook
4. Lowry
5. Rubio
6. Collison
7. Rose (value)

Rose is your main value tonight.  Tyus Jones is a bit shaken up and Teague looked like absolute crap last game after he dislocated his pinky.  He’ll have ownership so don’t think you are being some sneaky panda.  I am all in on Wall.  I think Houston destroys Minnesota tonight but they closed the game out with their starters so I don’t mind Paul just destroying Drose tonight.  RWB got a big price drop so I feel baited into playing him.  He has done better at home but Gobert is shutting him down.  I’ll have him in some but like I said I am all in on Wall tonight.  (all in = 80%)

Shooting Guards:

1. Dipo
2. DeRozan
3. Harden
4. Mitchell
5. Gordon
6. Korver (value)
7. Crawford (value)

Dipo needs to step up in a big way and I like him here at reduced ownership.  DeRozan will be very popular tonight but I do not care.  The Tor/Wiz game is back and forth.  DeRozan will be needed to score.  Harden and Company will do work tonight.  Like I said above it’s nice to see him come in the 4th when the game was already over.  His ownership will be low and anytime you can get Harden at low ownership…you take a shot.  I’m not excited about Mitchell tonight but he is my 4th ranked SG.  OKC needs to figure out how to stop HIM, not Joe Ingles or Rubio.  I like pairing Korver with LBJ.

Small Forwards:

1. Lebron James
2. Paul George
3. Jimmy Butler
4. Ingles
5. Porter
6. Stephenson (chalk value)
7. Oubre (lower owned value)
8. Royce O Neale (super low owned value)

Just play Lebron.  George has been fairly consistent.  Jimmy is gonna fight tonight but not sure it’ll be enough.  He needs the game to stay close to beat Value.  A lot of lineups will be James/Stephenson and there is nothing wrong with that.  I like Oubre a lot more than Stephenson though at lower ownership.  He is going to at least give you 20-30 while chalk Stephenson has shown he can dud.  Royce O’Neale is your punt play here.  His minutes are trending up.  He doesn’t have 30 upside but he can get you 20-25.  He carries risk though – as a super low owned guy would.

Power Forwards

1. Thaddeus Young
2. Favors
3. Anthony
4. Love
5. Crowder
6. Sabonis

I kept saying Thad Young needs to get steals and blocks to be productive.  Well, he is showing he can consistently do that.  It is his game.  Favors and Anthony are basically the same to me.  Love is shit.  The only reason I listed him is because he will be low owned and IS capable of getting to 50.  I don’t think he will but I’ll have some of him just in case.  Crowder and Sabonis are your value plays here.

Centers:

1. Capela
2. Gobert
3. Towns
4. Jval
5. Turner
6. Gortat (value)

Capela and Gobert are going to get a lot of the ownership tonight and rightfully so.  I love Capela tonight.  Karl Anthony Towns has the potential to hit 60 if this game stays close.  I will have some of him just in case but I really see Houston pulling away in the third.  Jval has the higher upside over Turner.  Gortat is your value play.  He can give you 3 or 25.  Last 2 games he has looked better.  I don’t mind playing him tonight for 4k.
