There are only four games on the NBA DFS slate for Thursday, January 24th and here are The Combine Presidente’s value picks for the day. I typically play one lineup per night on FanDuel for fun and you can check my results from the previous night at the bottom of the article. Follow @TheCombineSports and @TheCombineJosh on Twitter for updated information.
Games:
GS @ WAS (GS -9, O/U 234.5)
NO @ OKC (OKC -12.5, O/U 233.5)
POR @ PHO (POR -7.5, O/U 220.5)
MIN @ LAL (MIN -1.5, O/U 230)
Value Plays:
PG Seth Curry ($3500)
- The PG position is thin tonight as far as values… Elfrid Payton is the only other “value” and I see him struggling to even do a 4x. I’m taking a flier on Seth Curry tonight and hope Lillard gets a scratch.
SG Kentavius Caldwell-Pope ($4200)
- With Ball and LBJ out, he will get minutes. At only $4200, could be a big value play/drop the lowest score. With the savings, you can grab an elite player tonight. Follow me on twitter for where I’m putting those dollars tonight.
SF Kelly Oubre ($6000)
- Oubre may get some minutes tonight thanks to the injuries to PHO. I like his chances of upside on a day with only 4 games.
PF Dragan Bender ($4600)
- With Ayton, Warren, and potentially Holmes out tonight, this draft bust could have an opportunity to make a case for his next contract.
C Jahlil Okafor ($5500)
- I’m not sure how he’s still $5500… but I’ll take him again tonight with Davis out. He has put up 41 and 42 FD points in his last 2 games
Presidente’s Lock of the Night:
SG Kentavius Caldwell-Pope ($4200)
