Today we decided to open up the DFS Army 6th Man article to the public. This is just a small sample of the numerous tools, articles, and coaching we offer to our members. Take advantage of this opportunity an join the DFS Army now.
It’s a Saturday with an 8-game main slate on both sites. As we are well aware by now, crazy things happen on the weekend. Already, there is a lot of news out there, making players like Tomas Satoransky, Dante Exum and many more, incredible value plays tonight. I’m here to add a few more plays to your list. We will be looking at players coming off the bench with the ability to be instrumental tonight. Pricing here is FD/DK. Let’s dive in!
The wins have been piling up here at the DFS Army! What are you waiting for?
And it is not just in the NBA, we also have wins in NFL. Join now to finish the season strong!
CORE PLAYS
Monte Morris – SG: DEN – (5700/4600): This is my favorite 6th Man play tonight. Add Malik Beasley to the list of all the injuries the Nuggets are dealing with. If Beasley misses this game, Morris who is already playing 30 MPG, will be forced to carry a heavier workload. We could see him push for 35+ minutes here. Against a Suns team that struggles defensively, I love everything about this spot for Morris. Excellent all-format play. That price on DK is just too low.
Lou Williams – SG: LAC – (6200/6600): Sweet Lou is back! He just laid waste to my Lakers last night in only 31 minutes. However, this is a b2b and 3-in-4 spot for him, so you need to be somewhat careful, but all that said, Lou is too cheap right now for the production he brings off the bench. He should easily be in the 7k range on both sites. Use him while he is this cheap because next week will see him priced accurately on both sites.
Jordan Clarkson – SG: CLE – (6000/6100): As long as the Cavs continue to give Clarkson over 30 MPG off the bench due to injuries, I’ll continue playing him. This one is a no-brainer. A scorer like Clarkson against a defensively challenged Hawks team? Yes, Please! I love him in all formats on both sites today.

GPP PLAYS
Kelly Oubre Jr. – SF: PHO – (5000/4400): It’s a b2b and 3-in-4 for the Suns. While they are young enough to handle this, the spot is perfect for Oubre to do some heavy lifting for them tonight. I’m well aware how much Oubre burnt people last night, and this is the perfect time to exploit this situation. He is inconsistent, relegating him to a strictly GPP role tonight.
Jeremy Lin – PG: ATL – (4200/3800): Jeremy Lin continues to perform an admirable job for the Hawks this season. His production is inconsistent due mainly to his minutes distribution. That said he is priced cheaply on both sites, in a plus matchup. A case can be made here that he will exceed value at that price in 20-22 minutes tonight. He makes for an excellent drop-score format play on FD and is GPP viable today given his upside in this matchup.
Richaun Holmes – PF: PHO – (4400/3500): Like Oubre, Holmes could benefit from the Suns being tired here. Add to that the fact that Ayton will have to deal with Jokic, it is possible Holmes sees extended run here tonight. In this scenario, Holmes makes for an excellent GPP play. He doesn’t need much to crush value, and this is the kind of spot we want to take advantage of in GPPs.
Royce O’Neale – SF: UTA – (3500/3100): With Crowder out and Ricky Rubio most likely out, today will be Dante Exum chalk day. This season has been weird in the way chalk performs, and there is nothing better in GPPs like fading the chalk and watching it lay waste to lineups. With everyone flocking towards Exum today, Royce O’Neale becomes the forgotten man. He makes for an excellent drop-score format play on FD, and at 3100 on DK, he is worth a shot or two in GPPs.
