I hope that everyone was able to have a successful Wednesday in daily fantasy basketball. With 11 games on the schedule, the possibilities are endless. This will be the last day that I’ll be providing any write-ups until I get back from Jamaica. I have a 3-hour car ride ahead of me after work, so I won’t be in any contests. The following projections are based on DraftKings scoring. If you haven’t played at DraftKings before, click the logo below to sign-up.
Results from last night are below. This includes projected minutes and fantasy points, along with actual minutes and fantasy points. If the player hit 5X or 6X value, that will be marked with a “Y”. In a few days, I’ll go over the totals for each bucket to test the accuracy.

When it comes to PG, the two main options for tonight are Chris Paul and Kyrie Irving. Chris Paul has a great matchup, plus…he’s Chris Paul. Kyrie has been playing incredibly well over the past four games, hitting at least 5X at this price in each. I could see taking a shot at Tony Wroten now that his price has come down a bit. With Devin Harris out, Jameer Nelson should see a few extra minutes, which should be enough to put him in value at $4100. Same sort of situation for J.J. Barea, but that’s a pretty desperate play.

If James Harden is going to hit 5X, he’s going to need to do it in 3 quarters. I’ll probably fade him. Kobe, on the other hand, continues to look like a great fantasy option. J.R. Smith is someone who will get an extended look. Because of injuries, Gerald Henderson looks like he’ll be be playing 30+ minutes, which means he should absolutely be rostered at $3900. The same can be said of Iman Shumpert. I’ll probably be taking Swaggy P until his price rises.

I’ll have to do some research on LeBron James before I make a decision either way. I think SF might be the position where I am looking more for value, with Terrence Ross being at the top of that list. Bojan Bogdanovic and Al-Farouq Aminu both look great as sub-$4k guys.

Kevin Love continues to look strong in my projections, but the results haven’t translated to the court. Marcus Morris looks like an interesting target at $4500. Kris Humphries has been over 20 fantasy points in his last four and looks to be a good play at $4100. If you really need to save some salary, Anthony Bennett is a sleeper punt play due to all of the injuries to the T’Wolves.

DeAndre Jordan is on the top my Center list. He’s been incredibly steady over for the past two weeks, and he can put together games like Saturday where he goes off for 50+. Jordan Hill makes another good option in the middle-tier of centers. All of this has ignored the best play of the night, by far. Gorgui Dieng. He should be highly owned, and will be an excellent play, barring any foul trouble. If Larry Sanders is still out, Zaza Pachulia will be in my line-up at $3000. Guys like that, who play 30 minutes at minimum salary, give you the opportunity to put bigger name guys in your line-up without making any sacrifices.
