No teams are playing on Thanksgiving, leaving Wednesday with a heavy slate of 12 games. Here are some bargain plays available on FanDuel that will hopefully help to stuff your wallet (sorry, I couldn't resist).
Point Guard
Tony Parker, $5,500, SA: Parker is healthy and has played 32 minutes in each of his last four games. Not only has he scored at least 18 points in three of those games, but he has dished out at least eight assists twice and recorded at least one steal three times. He has posted at least 25.5 FanDuel points in each of his last five games, making him a solid play at this price Wednesday against the Mavericks.
Mario Chalmers, $4,300, MEM: I recommended Chalmers Tuesday and he didn't disappoint by posting 27.2 FanDuel points. He finished the game with five steals and his defensive contributions are what help make him valuable despite not bring a major contributor offensively. His price is right again Wednesday against the Rockets if you are looking for a cheap option at point guard.
Shooting Guard
Avery Bradley, $6,000, BOS: Like Chalmers, I'm going to the well on back-to-back days with Bradley as he posted 35.2 FanDuel points Tuesday against the Hawks. Also like Chalmers, Bradley is a major contributor on the defensive end as he has recorded at least two steals in each of his last four games. With the opportunity for extra minutes again Wednesday against the Sixers due to Marcus Smart (knee) out of action, look for Bradley to perform well again.
Evan Fournier, $5,900, ORL: Fournier put up a dud with only 15.7 FanDuel points Monday against the Cavaliers, but don't let that turn you off from him Wednesday against the Knicks. Before Monday, he had posted at least 31.0 FanDuel points in four of his last five games. The Magic need his offense and play him a lot, making him a safe bet to provide plenty of value at this price.
Small Forward
Rondae Hollis-Jefferson, $4,100, BKN: The Nets don't have a lot of young talent, but Hollis-Jefferson does give them some reason for hope. Although his playing time has been a bit inconsistent, he seems to produce when given extended run as he has posted at least 30.2 FanDuel points in each of the last three games where he played at least 31 minutes. The good news is those three contests have all come within the team's last five games. He is a solid rebounder who has recorded at least one steal in each of his last five games, making him worth the risk at this price Wednesday against the Thunder.
Power Forward
Tristan Thompson, $5,700, CLE: Thompson is playing more minutes with Timofey Mozgov (shoulder) out of action, which gives him extra time to rack up rebounds as he has now recorded at least 11 rebounds in each of his last three games. He has posted at least 26.3 FanDuel points in each of those games and should be leaned on for extra production again Wednesday against the Raptors. Although he's not the cheapest of options, he should provide solid production at this price.
Center
Kosta Koufos, $4,000, SAC: Koufos is in line for extra playing time Wednesday against the Bucks with DeMarcus Cousins (back) listed as doubtful. Koufos has produced at least 20.0 FanDuel points in three of his last four games despite playing 25 minutes or less in each of those contests. While it's not fair to expect him to post huge offensive numbers, it's not out of the question that he could finish with a double-double and some solid defensive stats, making him a nice play at this dirt cheap price.
