Wednesday is a packed night in the NBA as there are 12 games on the schedule. There are plenty of opportunities for bargain plays on FanDuel with so many teams in action, but here are some of the better ones to consider when creating your lineup.
Point Guard
Raymond Felton, $5,100, DAL: Felton continues to start for the Mavericks and is logging heavy playing time as he has played at least 34 minutes in six of his last seven games. Not only is he playing big minutes, but he is producing as he has recorded at least 26.7 FanDuel points in each of his last five games. Although the Mavericks are facing a tough Pacers team Wednesday, Felton could still provide plenty of value at this price.
Shooting Guard
Allen Crabbe, $4,100, POR: Crabbe had a rough outing Sunday against the Pelicans where he scored only seven points, but he was hot heading into that contest as he had scored at least 11 points in seven straight games. He has been able to provide steals as well, resulting in at least 20.1 FanDuel points in three of his last five games. The price is right to take a shot on Crabbe Wednesday against the Thunder.
Gary Neal, $4,000, WAS: Neal faces one of his former teams Wednesday as the Wizards take on the Spurs. He has been a crucial member of the Wizards' bench this season, especially of late with Bradley Beal (leg) out of action. Neal has now posted at least 22.8 FanDuel points in four of his last six games, making him worthy of consideration at this bargain price.
Small Forward
Jae Crowder, $5,400, BOS: Crowder is just about as steady as they come as a low-priced option as he has recorded at least 22.1 FanDuel points in seven of his last eight games. He is a consistent scorer who can contribute in both blocks and steals as well, which is always helpful on FanDuel. His ceiling is not very high, but he's unlikely to disappoint at this price Wednesday against the Pistons.
Power Forward
Jerami Grant, $4,900, PHI: Grant is likely to start in place of Nerlens Noel (eye) who is out of action Wednesday against the Hawks. Even if Grant comes off the bench, expect him to see significant playing time in this game. The last time he played 29 minutes or more in a game, he came away with 25.5 FanDuel points. Don't expect big production in any one category, but he should provide nice overall production.
Center
Joakim Noah, $5,300, CHI: Don't look now, but Noah is back to being a significant contributor for the Bulls, especially on the defensive end as he has nine blocks and four steals over his last four games. While he is still coming off of the bench, he has managed to produce at least 23.0 FanDuel points in each of his last eight games. The Bulls play Memphis at home Wednesday, which is also in Noah's favor as he thrives off of the home crowd. Expect Noah to provide plenty of value at this price.
Ian Mahinmi, $5,000, IND: I'm a sucker for Mahinmi because of his consistent ability to rebound and provide defensive stats. Although he has a bad game periodically, he has played well overall as he has posted at least 23.9 FanDuel points in six of his last nine games. The Pacers have a nice matchup Wednesday against the Mavericks, meaning you should consider using Mahinmi if you want to go cheap at center.
