FanDuel NBA: Tuesday Value Plays

FanDuel NBA: Tuesday Value Plays

This article is part of our FanDuel NBA series.

Tuesday marks the second-to-last day of the regular season. While there are still playoff spots and seeding to be decided, Tuesday's schedule is light with just three games. Luckily, most of the teams in action have something to play for, so there shouldn't be too many rotation players getting rested. Let's take a look at some of the better bargains to be had on FanDuel.

Point Guard

Isaiah Thomas, $6,800, BOS: The Celtics have surprisingly made a push for the playoffs, and Thomas has been a big part of their run. Even though they clinched a playoff spot, they aren't expected to rest Thomas and their starters Tuesday against the Raptors. He has scored at least 17 points in each of his last five games and has also recorded at least five assists in four of those games. With at least 31.4 FanDuel points in two of his last three games, Thomas is a nice option at this price Tuesday.

Shooting Guard

Louis Williams, $5,200, TOR: Williams can't be stopped on offense. He has scored at least 23 points in three of his last five games. While he is known for his offensive abilities, he has also recorded at least one steal in eight of his last nine games. Williams has a solid price Tuesday and has produced at least 30.9 FanDuel points in three of his last five games, making him a nice option to take a chance on.

Small Forward

C.J. Miles, $5,100, IND: Miles exploded for 30 points, 10 rebounds and 48.5 FanDuel points Sunday against the Thunder. The Pacers face a big game against the Wizards on Tuesday, meaning they will be looking for a big performance from Miles yet again. Although he has only played more than 30 minutes once in his last five games, Miles has produced at least 21.2 FanDuel points in each of those games. There's not much risk at this price Tuesday, and Miles has nice upside, making him a solid play.

Power Forward

David West, $5,600, IND: There aren't many elite options at power forward Tuesday, making West an interesting play. The Pacers will be playing the big Wizards frontcourt, so they will likely be counting on West to have a big night. While he's not putting up elite numbers, he has produced at least 20.1 FanDuel points in seven of his last eight games. West doesn't have much elite upside as he has not scored more than 13 points in any of his last six games and has not posted a double-double in any of his last eight games, but he still should produce enough to make value Tuesday.

Center

Roy Hibbert, $5,300, IND: I'm going with my gut in this one as I think the Pacers are going to need a big game from Hibbert if they are going to survive Nene and Marcin Gortat. Hibbert is playing well of late as he has posted a double-double in each of his last three games despite not playing more than 27 minutes in any of those games. The defensive side of the floor is where Hibbert excels as he has blocked at least one shot in seven of his last nine games. If you want to go with a cheaper option at center Tuesday, I think Hibbert is your man.
