FanDuel NBA: Tuesday Value Plays

FanDuel NBA: Tuesday Value Plays

This article is part of our FanDuel NBA series.

The second round is barely underway but the excitement is in full force. We have some great matchups to enjoy and Tuesday features both of the top seeds in action. Can the Wizards win both of the first two games in Atlanta? Can the Warriors win yet again at home? While you watch the big games, let's take a look at some of the FanDuel options that will hopefully help you come away with some money from these games:

Point Guard
Jeff Teague ($6,400)
Both Stephen Curry ($10,200) and John Wall ($9,600) come with hefty price tags Tuesday, so Teague should be your man if you want to save some of your budget. He scored 11 points to go along with three rebounds and seven assists in Game 1, resulting in 24.1 FanDuel points. Although his production has been limited, he did have two games in the first round against Toronto when he produced at least 39.6 FanDuel points. The Hawks need him to put up a big game Tuesday, making him an intriguing option.

Shooting Guard
Tony Allen ($4,900)
Allen is known for his defensive abilities and looked like a man possessed in Game 1. He's up for the challenge of guarding the Warriors' excellent perimeter players and came away with three steals in Game 1 while posting 30.3 FanDuel points. While he did score 15 points in Game 1, don't expect that much offense from him on a regular basis. He can still produce for fantasy participants even when he's not scoring, making him a nice play at a cheap price.

Small Forward
Otto Porter ($4,100)
Porter has worked his way to increased playing time in the playoffs and has logged at least 33 minutes in four of the team's five games so far. The Wizards have gone with a smaller lineup at times, something that Porter's length helps to make possible. His rebounding numbers have been excellent, as he has grabbed at least eight rebounds in three of his last four games. His 24.7 FanDuel points in Game 1 were solid and would be a welcomed number again in Game 2 considering the cost.

Power Forward
Zach Randolph( $7,100)
Randolph just missed a double-double in Game 1, finishing with 20 points, nine rebounds and five assists in 36 minutes. The Warriors aren't really known for playing a ton of defense, making this a favorable series for Randolph. Although his 37.3 FanDuel points in Game 1 was the first time he scored over 30 FanDuel points in the playoffs, I think there will be more success to come Tuesday. Look for him to at least approach a double-double again.

Center
Al Horford ($7,400)
Horford had a monster performance in Game 1, as he scored 17 points to go along with 17 rebounds, seven assists, one steal and one block. His ability to pass the ball at the center position is appealing, as he has dished out at least five assists in four of his last six games. The Wizards do have a big front line, but have been playing smaller at times in the playoffs, leaving more space for Horford to operate. He might not be priced at a discount rate, but he should put up another solid performance Tuesday.
