FanDuel NBA DFS: This Season vs Opponent Production of Ceiling and Value Plays for the 4/8/16 Slate

Aaron Gordon has been ruled out(concussion).

($8.6K)Hassan Whiteside

This Season vs Opp. Avg.: 2 games, 35.9 Fpts in 33.3 Mins

Whiteside underperformed in an incredible mathup vs the Bulls, but enters an equally good matchup here, and is one of the top Ceiling plays on the board.

Nicola Batum is questionable

($7.9K)Kemba Walker

This Season vs Opp. Avg.: 3 games, 32.5 Fpts in 34.9 Mins

This is a dream matchup for Kemba.Not only have the Nets been week against PGs all season, but now their interior ‘defense’ has been decimated to a worse level than before with Brook Lopez and Thaddeus YOung out. Kemba loves to get to the basket.

($7.6K)Nicolas Batum

This Season vs Opp. Avg.: 3 games, 34.7 Fpts in 39 Mins

If Batum goes he is a top shelf play. If Batum sits, Jeremy Lin

($6.6K)Thomas Robinson

Kristaps Porzingis is doubtful(shoulder). I don’t expect Calderon to play(quad).

($6.2K)Ish Smith

This Season vs Opp. Avg.: 2 games, 29.3 Fpts in 32.9 Mins

Ish is one of my top GPP plays of the night. He has been mediocre lately and his price has dropped, but still has 45 fantasy point upside, especially vs Jerian Grant defense.

This Season vs Opp. Avg.: 3 games, 28 Fpts in 34.6 Mins

($4.5K)Derrick WIlliams

This Season vs Opp. Avg.: 3 games, 14.5 Fpts in 18.6 Mins

DWill has not gone off yet filling in for Kristaps, but he will. This would be a good spot for that to occur.

($3.8K)Jerian Grant

This Season vs Opp. Avg.: 3 games, 7.9 Fpts in 16.8 Mins

WAS @ DET – 206.5 | DET -5.5

John Wall is questionable.

Update: John Wall is Likely to play, making ($4.1K)Ramon Sessions the most elite value option by far on the slate. He put up over 40 fantasy points last time he filled in for wall. Lock him in if Wall sits and move on.

($5.7K)Marcus Morris

This Season vs Opp. Avg.: 3 games, 23.5 Fpts in 31.8 Mins

I have a thing for Marcus Morris. I could see him hanging up 40-50 FPts easily in this matchup, should his shot be falling.

($6.6K)Tobias Harris

This Season vs Opp. Avg.: 6 games, 21.1 Fpts in 31.9 Mins (data compiled from playing on 2 different teams)

IND @ TOR – 194.5 | IND -5

($8.8K)Paul George

This Season vs Opp. Avg.: 3 games, 35.1 Fpts in 34.2 Mins

Paul George faces one of the team playing the toughest defense of late, but he gets up for games vs other Stars, and has had decent ouput this year in this matchup.

MLW @ BOS – 204 | BOS -10

Evan Turner and Khris Middleton are questionable.

($9.7K)Giannis Antetokounpo

This Season vs Opp. Avg.: 3 games, 30.2 Fpts in 30.7 Mins

I want to roster Giannis, but the Celtics have been playing well on the defensive end and he draws a tough matchup with Jae Crowder.

($6.3K)Jae Crowder

This Season vs Opp. Avg.: 3 games, 30.6 Fpts in 30.6 Mins

While Antetokounpo is a revelation on offense, that doesn’t translate on the defensive end. Jae Crowder should be able to be as insertive as he likes in this game, and may pick up a few extra blocks and steals guarding Giannis.

($5.8K)Avery Bradley

This Season vs Opp. Avg.: 3 games, 20.5 Fpts in 32 Mins

LAK @ NO – 202 | NO -2

($6.6K)Tim Frazier

He has been on fire and is likely to be extremely low owned due to his extreme price hike, but can is throwing out 35-40 Fpt nights left and righht.

($5.3K)Jordan Clarkson

This Season vs Opp. Avg.: 2 games, 26.7 Fpts in 35.8 Mins

Byron Scott is letting the youngins run, even in garbage time, showing with 30 mins+ played in each of his last 9.

($5.4K)Luke Babbit

He will shoot a ton and has been adding some peripherals. Facing the Lakers always helps. A good upside GPP play if he starts.

Chris Paul, J.J. Redick, Blake Griffen, DeAndre Jordan, and Wesley Johnson have all been ruled out(rest).

($3.8K)Austin Rivers

This Season vs Opp. Avg.: 1 game, 14.1 Fpts in 25.6 Mins

Austin Rivers will take all the shots he can, if he plays(questionable), and is a fine value play at his price. The spot vs Utah is brutal, but with the usage and price tag, he is hard to pass up.

($4.6K)Jamal Crawford

This Season vs Opp. Avg.: 2 games, 7 FPts in 27.2 Mins

The crawfish is certainly more talented than Rivers, but is in the same boat. He will have all the usage and shots he can handle, but draws a difficult matchup with the Jazz.

($4.2K)Jeff Green

This Season vs Opp. Avg.: 2 games, 14.9 Fpts in 36.3 Mins

SA @ DEN –

Check for injury updates, I expect the Spurs to rest players.

Update: Aldridge, Diaw, Ginobili, Leonard, Green, and Parker all OUT for Spurs tonight

Boban is the only Spur on my radar, but none of them seem to dominate the usage when all the players are rested.

Top Ceiling:

Kemba Walker

Giannis Antetokounpo

Top Value:

Ramon Sessions(If no Wall)

Jamal Crawford
