There are 6 games on the NBA DFS main slate for Thursday, January 31st and here are The Combine Presidente’s value picks for the day.  I typically play one or two lineups 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.

Value Plays:

PG Darren Collison ($6600)

• Collison fucked over me last night, so I will let him try and redeem himself tonight
• Bonus Pick : Shai Gilgeous-Alexander ($4600)

SG Klay Thompson ($6900)

• It is going to be a very high scoring game tonight and I think Klay could pop off for 40-50 FD points tonight.

SF DeMarre Carroll ($4600)

• Carroll has quietly been putting up a solid 5x/night lately and should continue to see minutes with the injuries to BKN. Follow me on twitter for where I’m putting those extra dollars tonight.
• Bonus Pick : Wilson Chandler ($4000)

PF Aaron Gordon ($7200)

• The guy has been over 5.5x/game over his last 3 and I don’t see that stopping vs IND tonight.  Not the cheapest, but a safe play for standard games.

C DeMarcus Cousins ($7500)

• Not a ton of value tonight at C, but Cousins got 25 mins last game and will be on 3 days rest.  Embiid isn’t 100% and Cousins should score well in a game with a 240 O/U.
• Bonus Pick : If you want to spend elsewhere, go Martin Gortat tonight ($3500)

Presidente’s Lock of the Night:

PF Aaron Gordon ($7200)

Previous Night’s Results:

PG Darren Collison ($6500)

• 9.4 FD Points (1.4x)

SG Jaylen Brown ($4700)

• 40 FD Points (8.5x)

SF Jabari Parker ($4000)

• 1.4 FD Points (0.3x)

PF Paul Millsap ($5000) * My lock of the night

• 30.6 FD Points (6.1x)

C Myles Turner ($7300)

• 21.7 FD Points (3x)

Bonus pick: De’Aaron Fox ($7800) *I suggested on twitter 

• 24.3 FD Points (3.1x)

Bonus pick: Dewayne Dedmon ($6300)

• 21.3 FD Points (3.4x)

There are 8 games on the NBA DFS main slate for Wednesday, January 30th and here are The Combine Presidente’s value picks for the day.  I typically play one or two lineups 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.

Value Plays:

PG Darren Collison ($6500)

• Collison is seeing extra minutes due to injuries and he has been a 5x+ player in 7 of his last 10 contests.
• Bonus Pick : I’m all in on De’Aaron Fox tonight ($7800)

SG Jaylen Brown ($4700)

• I see him getting solid minutes vs CHA tonight and the potential is always there for a big game.  I like him for 6x tonight.

SF Jabari Parker ($4000)

• With the injuries to Carter and Hutchinson, he will see some extra minutes and hopefully contribute a solid 6x+ tonight for cheap. Follow me on twitter for where I’m putting those extra dollars tonight.

PF Paul Millsap ($5000)

• I have to imagine Milsap vs a depleted NO frontcourt results in a solid 6x night at minimum.

C Myles Turner ($7300)

• Turner has been hovering around an average of 5x over his last 4 games and WAS is a weak team right now.  Not a ton of value tonight at C.
• Bonus Pick : If you want to spend elsewhere, go Dewayne Dedmon tonight ($6300)

Presidente’s Lock of the Night:

PF Paul Millsap ($5000)

Previous Night’s Results:

PG Shabazz Napier ($5100)

• 41.6 FD Points (8.2x)

SG Luke Kennard ($3700) 

• 27.4 FD Points (7.4x)

SF Michael Beasley ($4200) * My lock of the night

• 12 FD Points (2.9x)

PF Richaun Holmes ($5000)

• 24.3 FD Points (4.9x)

C Jahlil Okafor ($7200)

• 46.4 FD Points (6.4x)

Bonus pick: Rondae Hollis-Jefferson ($4400) *I suggested on twitter 

• 22.8 FD Points (5.2x)

There are 7 games on the NBA DFS main slate for Tuesday, January 29th and here are The Combine Presidente’s value picks for the day.  I typically play one or two lineups 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.

Value Plays:

PG Shabazz Napier ($5100)

• Chicago is a bad team and Napier is a starter thanks to injuries.  Let’s hope for the best and see what we can get from him.

SG Luke Kennard ($3700)

• Lots of injuries should get Kennard close to 30 minutes tonight.  Cheap enough to take the risk IMO. Follow me on twitter for where I’m putting those extra dollars tonight.

SF Michael Beasley ($4200)

• B-Easy is looking at some quality minutes with Kuzma out.  Let’s see if he can give us 6-7x tonight.

PF Richaun Holmes ($5000)

• I’m hoping his return and Ayton likely missing another game, results in a solid 6x night at minimum.

C Jahlil Okafor ($7200)

• No Randle or Davis = big minutes for Okafor and he should do very well on the boards.

Presidente’s Lock of the Night:

SF Michael Beasley ($4200)

Previous Night’s Results:

PG Patrick Beverley ($4600)

• 43 FD Points

SG Andre Iguodala ($4300) * My lock of the night

• 36.2 FD Points

SF Gary Harris ($4800)

• 18.3 FD Points

PF Rodions Kurucs ($4100)

• 10.4 FD Points

C Al Horford ($6900)

• 53.7 FD Points

Bonus pick: Trey Burke ($4500)

• 17.9 FD Points

There are 5 games on the NBA DFS main slate for Monday, January 28th 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:

NYK @ CHA (CHA -12, O/U 219)

GS @ IND (GS -9, O/U 226)

BKN @ BOS (BOS -10.5, O/U 222)

DEN @ MEM (DEN -6, O/U 208.5)

ATL @ LAC (LAC -6.5, O/U 231.5)

Value Plays:

PG Patrick Beverley ($4600)

• The Hawks just got wrecked by Seth Curry the other night… look for Beverley to do the same. A near triple double like Curry?
• (Bonus pick: Trey Burke ($4500), he will see some minutes if Frank Ntilikina is out).

SG Andre Iguodala ($4300)

• I think this game could get out of hand early and then extra garbage time for Iggy.  Cheap enough to take the risk IMO.

SF Gary Harris ($4800)

• With DEN missing Murray, there will be more opportunities for Harris tonight.  Easy 5xer tonight.

PF Rodions Kurucs ($4100)

• I’m going cheap here so I can afford some big names tonight.  My gut says RHJ sits tonight and allows Kurucs to get some extra minutes.  Follow me on twitter for where I’m putting those extra dollars tonight.

C Al Horford ($6900)

• Horford should dominate a banged up BKN team that is terrible.  I anticipate a 20/10 games out of him tonight and a 5x minimum.

Presidente’s Lock of the Night:

SF Gary Harris ($4800)

Previous Night’s Results:

PG Rajon Rondo ($6700)

• 29.3 FD Points

SG Kentavious Caldwell-Pope ($4200) * My lock of the night

• 34.22 FD Points

SF Rudy Gay ($5800) * I pulled him out of my lineups on Twitter

• 26.2 FD Points

PF James Johnson ($3700)

• 23.9 FD Points

C Hassan Whiteside ($7100)

• 44.2 FD Points

Bonus pick: Kelly Oubre ($6000)

• 30 FD Points

Bonus pick: Aaron Gordon ($6700) 

• 37 FD Points

Bonus pick: JaVale McGee ($4400) 

• 6.6 FD Points (Garbage performance, but allowed me to snag Giannis)

Bonus pick: Jarrod Bayless ($4200) * Said I was all-in on Bayless tonight

• 27.6 FD Points

There are 7 games on the NBA DFS main slate for Sunday, January 27th 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:

MIL @ OKC (MIL -1, O/U 234.5)

TOR @ DAL (TOR -5, O/U 219)

ORL @ HOU (HOU -8, O/U 221)

UTAH @ MIN (UTAH -4, O/U 219)

WAS @ SA (SA -4.5, O/U 221)

MIA @ NYK (MIA -5, O/U 210.5)

PHO @ LAL (LAL -7, O/U 224.5)

Value Plays:

PG Rajon Rondo ($6700)

• Not the cheapest… but Rondo should do well against a weak PHO team that is weak at PG. Triple double?

SG Kentavious Caldwell-Pope ($4200)

• I’ve chosen him a few times lately and gotten a solid 4-5x most times… he could do even better with some expected garbage minutes and a short bench tonight.

SF Rudy Gay ($5800)

• My gut is telling me SA sits Derozan again tonight in a winnable game vs WAS… which as long as Gay is good to go, makes him a must play at that price.
• (Bonus pick: Kelly Oubre ($6000), barring update on Derozan/Gay, I’m playing both tonight).

PF James Johnson ($3700)

• I’m going cheap here so I can afford some big names tonight. Follow me on twitter for where I’m putting those extra dollars tonight.
• (Bonus pick: Aaron Gordon ($6700), if you aren’t relying on superstars and want a balanced lineup)

C Hassan Whiteside ($7100)

• This is a risky one since Whiteside can just as easily get ejected as he can put up 20 rebounds and 5 blocks tonight… not much value at C tonight.
• (Bonus pick: JaVale McGee($4400), needed if you want multiple superstars tonight)

Presidente’s Lock of the Night:

SG Kentavious Caldwell-Pope ($4200)

Previous Night’s Results:

PG Steph Curry ($9800)

• 31.1 FD Points

SG Justin Holiday ($4800)

• 25.2 FD Points

SF Corey Brewer ($4000) * My lock of the night

• 41.2 FD Points

PF Jonah Bolden ($3800)

• 36.6 FD Points

Games:

IND@ MEM (IND -5, O/U 203)

GS @ BOS (GS -3.5, O/U 232.5)

PHI @ DEN (DEN -9.5, O/U 228.5)

ATL @ POR (POR -11, O/U 228)

Value Plays:

PG Steph Curry ($9800)

• Not the cheapest… but Curry under $10k is always a steal.

SG Justin Holiday ($4800)

• With Kyle Anderson out for MEM, Holiday will see a spike in minutes… and hopefully output.

SF Corey Brewer ($4000)

• With Jimmy Butler out again tonight, Brewer is a safe play at his salary.  Should be an easy 5x-er tonight with Embiid out too.  More opportunities on offense for everyone in PHI.
• (Bonus pick: Tareaun Prince ($4700), I’m playing both tonight). Follow me on twitter for where I’m putting those extra dollars tonight.

PF Jonah Bolden ($3800)

• Bolden has gotten a lot of minutes as the backup C off the bench… with Embiid out, I’m going with two lineups tonight… one with Bolden and one with Muscala

C Mike Muscala ($3500)

• With Embiid out tonight, Muscala should see 30 minutes for minimum salary.  Great deal if he can stay out of foul trouble.

Presidente’s Lock of the Night:

PG Shabazz Napier ($3800)

Games:

WAS @ ORL (ORL -3.5, O/U 218.5)

NYK @ BKN (BKN -9.5, O/U 223)

MIA @ CLE (MIA -8.5, O/U 208.5)

LAC @ CHI (LAC -5.5, O/U 220.5)

TOR @ HOU (TOR -3, O/U 227.5)

SAC @ MEM (MEM -2, O/U 212.5)

DET @ DAL (DAL -4.5, O/U 209)

CHA @ MIL (MIL -11.5, O/U 230.5)

PHO @ DEN (DEN -16, O/U 224)

MIN @ UTAH (UTAH -11, O/U 218.5)

Value Plays:

PG Shabazz Napier ($3800)

• With Dinwiddie out, I think Napier sees some minutes tonight.  I’m taking a flier on Napier tonight and he could be the “lowest score drop”… but worth it (Bonus pick: Ellie Okobo ($3600), I’m playing both tonight). Follow me on twitter for where I’m putting those extra dollars tonight.

SG Justin Holiday ($4900)

• With Kyle Anderson out for MEM, Holiday will see a spike in minutes… and hopefully output.

SF Gary Harris ($4400)

• Harris just returned from injury and is still cheap.  An easy 5x-er tonight vs a depleted PHO team.

PF Paul Milsap ($5800)

• With PHO potentially having Ayton, Warren, and Holmes out tonight, this could be a big game on the boards for Milsap and he can have his way offensively (as will Jokic). (Bonus pick: Josh Jackson ($5300)

C Jarrett Allen ($6600)

• Jarrett Allen should have his way with a bad Knicks team that is missing bigs… it could realistically be a 20/20 game

Presidente’s Lock of the Night:

PF Paul Milsap ($5800)

Previous Night’s Results:

PG Seth Curry ($3500)

• 36.7 FD Points

SG Kentavius Caldwell-Pope ($4200) * My lock of the night

• 21.9 FD Points

SF Kelly Oubre ($6000)

• 48.7 FD Points

PF Dragan Bender ($4600) 

• 27.6 FD Points

C Jahlil Okafor ($5500)

• 26.6 FD Points

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)

Previous Night’s Results:

PG Fred VanVleet ($4600)

SG Jordan Clarkson ($4700)

SF Justice Winslow ($6400)

PF Kenneth Faried ($5000) * My lock of the night

• 38.1 FD Points

C Jahlil Okafor ($5500)

• 42 FD Points

Games:

TOR @ IND (IND -5, O/U 218)

CLE @ BOS (BOS -16.5, O/U 216.5)

ORL @ BKN (BKN -6.5, O/U 219)

CHA @ MEM (CHA -1.5, O/U 209)

DET @ NO (NO -5, O/U 221.5)

DEN @ UTAH (UTAH -3.5, O/U 216)

Value Plays:

PG Fred VanVleet ($4600)

• With Leonard expected to rest again tonight, VanVleet should see increased action… and the lil bastard put up over 41 FD Points last night for $4800.

SG Jordan Clarkson ($4700)

• Ditto. At under $5k, could be a big GPP play.  With the savings, you can grab an elite player tonight.  Follow me on twitter for where I’m putting those dollars tonight.

SF Justice Winslow ($6400)

• With Winslow playing “point guard”, he has a high ceiling every night and I like the risk tonight.

PF Kenneth Faried ($5000)

• Look for the man-imal to grab a ton of rebounds for his new team in HOU.  He is easily capable of a 6-8x game tonight.

C Jahlil Okafor ($5500)

• I am not a fan of Okafor… but with Davis out, he has the most to gain.  Should easily see 30+ minutes tonight barring foul trouble.

Presidente’s Lock of the Night:

PF Kenneth Faried ($5000)

Previous Night’s Results:

PG Shai Gilgeous-Alexander ($3900)

• 13.7 FD Points (took 2nd most shots last night… just didn’t hit)

SF Mikal Bridges ($4000)  * My lock of the night

• 19 FD Points (also took 2nd most shots last night… also didn’t hit)

PF Dario Saric ($3900)

• 14.3 FD Points

C DeAndre Jordan ($7000)

PF Dragan Bender ($3800) * Per my Twitter, switched out Saric for him

• 27 FD Points
