FanDuel NBA: Wednesday Value Plays

FanDuel NBA: Wednesday Value Plays

This article is part of our FanDuel NBA series.

There are plenty of options to choose from when selecting your FanDuel lineup Wednesday as 10 games are on the schedule. It can be a bit overwhelming with so many options to choose from, but it also gives you a better chance to have a unique lineup that can help fatten your wallet. Here are some of the better bargain plays of the night.

Point Guard
Ish Smith, $5,400, NO:
Smith will likely get another start Wednesday against the Thunder as Jrue Holiday is going to sit out the second game of a back-to-back set. Smith has played at least 38 minutes in two of his last four games, posting at least 29.6 FanDuel points in both of those games. He doesn't seem to disappoint when given extended run, so look to take advantage of that in this contest.

Shooting Guard
Evan Fournier, $5,700, ORL:
Fournier has been logging heavy minutes for the Magic as he has played at least 37 minutes in each of his last five games. He has been particularly hot of late as he has posted at least 31.0 FanDuel points in each of his last three games. If he continues to produce at this rate, he might not be available at this price point much longer. Look for him to have another strong performance Wednesday against the Timberwolves.

Jeremy Lamb, $4,600, CHA: Lamb was dealing with a strained left shoulder Tuesday against the Knicks, but still scored 12 points to go along with six rebounds and three assists in 23 minutes. His production has gone largely unnoticed, but it shouldn't as he has posted at least 21.8 FanDuel points in each of his last five games. Adding a player like Lamb to your lineup can help set you up to spend the big bucks on a stud while still getting solid production from a cheap play.

Small Forward
C.J. Miles, $4,600, IND:
Miles is one of those shooters who seems to either be really hot or really cold. His last four games have been a prime example of that as he scored eight points and nine points in two of those contests, but 17 points and 19 points in the other two. He has a nice matchup Wednesday against Philadelphia, so it might be worth giving him a shot for such a cheap price. If his shots are falling, he could provide plenty of value.

Power Forward
Aaron Gordon, $4,100, ORL:
I'm inclined to take a chance on Gordon Wednesday against the Timberwolves at this low of a price. His last two games have been excellent as he has posted 30.5 and 29.4 FanDuel points respectively. The key for Gordon is playing time, which wasn't a problem in those two games as he played at least 27 minutes in both contests. If he gets similar playing time again Wednesday, he could provide solid production yet again.

Center
Joakim Noah, $4,800, CHI:
I'm going with my gut on this one as Noah has looked much better of late, posting at least 23.2 FanDuel points in each of his last three games. Although he lost his starting job, the Bulls are still counting on him to be a big part of their bench. Don't expect big offensive numbers from Noah Wednesday against the Suns, but he can still provide value in both rebounds and assists.

Ian Mahinmi, $4,700, IND: I was high on Mahinmi heading into this season because he was going to get the chance for increased playing time with Roy Hibbert now on the Lakers. While he has had his ups and downs, he is very consistent on the defensive end as he has recorded at least one steal in each of his last five games and at least two blocks in four of his last six games. Considering he has posted at least 24.3 FanDuel points in three of his last four games, Mahinmi should not be overlooked Wednesday against the Sixers.
