LineStar® Daily Dribble - Value Galore

We are back, for another version of the Daily Dribble written by LineStarTyler.

Today's Slate

We have a 6 game slate and we are getting Anthony Davis back (on a 15 min limit).

All of the games are fairly close with the totals being between 210 to 225. The most interesting game is clearly PHI@MIL, but will it be for fantasy purposes? There is a chance that the game plays more like a playoff game and hits the under.

Slate Injury News

Anthony Davis-Plans w/15 min limit

Schroder/Kuzma/Drummond/Morris/Gasol-Questionable (normal LAL just put everyone on the injury report, they all likely play)

Giannis-Questionable

Ross/Ennis-Questionable

Simmons/Harris/Curry-Questionable

Hamidou Diallo-Questionable

Dario Saric-Questionable

Maxi Kleber-Doubtful

James Johnson-Doubtful

Jaylen Brown-Doubtful

Williams/Fournier-Out

Jae Crowder-Out

Mcgruder/Smith Jr-Out

Trey Lyles-Out

Jerami Grant-Out

Mason Plumlee-Out

Cory Joesph-Out

Wayne Ellington-Out

I expect everyone in the PHI vs MIL game to play, however, it is late season NBA so there are no guarantees.

Tonight's Point Guard /Shooting Guard Notables

Killian Hayes DK $4.2 k | FD $4.4 k

Josh Jackson DK $5.5 k | FD $5.5 k

Frank Jackson DK $3.8 k | FD $4.9 k (I wouldn't play him on FD)

I like all 3 of these guards on DET. However, I will only play 2 max together. They are all cheap from the points/salary standpoint. SAS isn't the best PG match up but 4200 Hayes and 3800 Jackson are too cheap to pass up.

Cole Anthony DK $6.4 k | FD $6.3k

This kid can play. Been in the perfect lineup 2 of the last 3 since returning to the starting lineup. He gets all the usage he wants since ORL shipped off all their best players. With his price being mid 6k there isn't huge upside here, but I like him in a pace-up spot.

Tonight's SF / PF Notables

Mikal Bridges DK $4.8 k | FD $6.4k

Mikal's DK price is way too low. On Fanduel he is still in play, as he should be in line for a ton of minutes without Crowder tonight.

Luka Doncic DK $11 k | FD $11.4k

There is a chance Porzingis is out tonight since this is a back-to-back. If that is the case I will want a ton of Luka. For now, let's say Porzingis is in. In that case I still like Doncic, there is a ton of value on the slate and I think most people likely pay up for Embiid or Giannis tonight. If that is the case I won't be following the heard. Lakers are bad vs PG, and if I can get Doncic at slightly lower ownership I will do it all day long.

Value plays I like at SF/PF

Patrick Williams DK $4.3 k | FD $4k

A little risky because CHI has so many guys now, but they have been playing him and he can have big games. Minutes have been 19-35 over the last week, but the price is right.

Dario Saric DK $3.2k | FD $3.5k

Good pt/$ value but may not get enough min to really have a ton of upside.

Cameron Johnson DK $3.5k | FD $3.8

Should get extra run with Crowder out. Decent fantasy producers when he's had the chance

Tonight's Center Position Notables

Joel Embiid DK $10.5 k | FD $10.7k

Embiid has a good matchup vs MIL is a pace-up spot. He also tends to get fired up for big matchups so he can make a statement.

Isiah Stewart DK $5.8 k | FD $5.5k

This kid has produced in a big way when he has had the chance. In his 6 starts this season he has averaged 38.33 fantasy points, and one of those starts was a 22 min 17 point performance. If we throw that one out he's averaged over 40 on his starts. Sign me up.

Tristan Thompson DK $4.8 k | FD $4.1k

On FD he's way too cheap. In the last 3 games since Williams has been out, he has 25, 28, and 33 minutes. I expect around 28 tonight and he is historically a .97pt/min player. He's had a couple of bad games lately but I won't let that sway me into not playing him. He has a good matchup and BOS will need him to defend Ayton.

Value Options

There are a lot of different value options tonight so I figured I would highlight a few I am interested in.

In order for my most to least exposed of these value options.

Yuta Watanabe DK $3.6 k | FD $4.1k

Jalen Brunson DK $4.4 k | FD $5.2k (a bit expensive on FD)

Armoni Brooks DK $3.2 k | FD $3.6k

Freddie Gillespie DK $3.2 k | FD $3.9k

KJ Martin DK $3.8 k | FD $3.6k

Anfrenee Simons DK $3.6 k | FD $4k

My Strategy

I find myself getting to a lot of two stud lineups. There are a lot of value options I like tonight and it is forcing my hand that way. However, I also really like fading some of the super cheap options and then 1 stud and mid-priced guys. If Ben Simmons plays that could be the way I go. Simmons is too cheap (DK7.9k and FD7.4k) with his upside.

My Core is a little more complicated today since I like DET guards, I will have one of Hayes, J.Jackson, F.Jackson likely in every lineup. Then I will have a lot of Mikal Bridges, Simmons or Embiid, and Doncic.

GOODLUCK!
