There are no games scheduled in the NBA for Thursday, so that leaves a lot of teams in action Wednesday with 13 games to be played. It's always nice to go into a day off with extra money in your pocket, so here are some of the better value plays available on FanDuel.

Point Guard
Raymond Felton, $4,900, DAL: Felton continues to provide consistent production as he has recorded at least 20.3 FanDuel points in each of his last nine games. He is getting plenty of playing time and has been able to contribute across the board statistically. The Mavericks will face a weak Nets team Wednesday, possibly leaving Felton with a big performance.

Tim Frazier, $3,800, POR: Frazier is going to start again Wednesday against the Pelicans as Damian Lillard (foot) will miss his second straight game. Frazier played all 48 minutes and recorded 31.9 FanDuel points Monday when Lillard sat out, so expect him to have a big role again in this game. I think he is a must start at this price.

Shooting Guard
O.J. Mayo, $5,200, MIL: The Bucks have a favorable match up Wednesday against the Sixers, so Mayo has an opportunity for a big night. He continues to log extra playing time as the Bucks deal with multiple injuries to their backcourt, playing at least 38 minutes in two of his last three games. While not an elite option, he did post at least 29.5 FanDuel points in those two games where he played at least 38 minutes. Look for him to provide value again Wednesday at this price.

Small Forward
Matt Barnes, $4,900, MEM: Barnes has been on fire of late as he as posted at least 31.5 FanDuel points in five of his last six games. He continues to bring a lot of value to the table on the defensive end as he has recorded at least one steal and at least one block in each of his last seven games. The Grizzlies have entrusted him with a significant role and he has yet to disappoint. Don't be surprised if he continues his hot streak Wednesday against the Wizards.

Power Forward
Jabari Parker, $4,800, MIL: Like Mayo, Parker will get the opportunity to exploit a bad Sixers squad Wednesday. Although he doesn't blow the roof of the house on most night, Parker has recorded at least 19.4 FanDuel points in four of his last five games. Don't be surprised if he takes advantage of matching up against fellow inexperienced players Wednesday and puts up a big night.

Cody Zeller, $4,200, CHA: Zeller continues to plug away for the Hornets as he has posted at least 21.4 FanDuel points in three of his last four games. While he doesn't provide a ton of blocks or assists, he has recorded at least 10 points in four of his last five games and at least two steals in three of his last six games. If you want to go cheap at power forward Wednesday, take a serious look at Zeller.

Center
Gorgui Dieng, $5,300, MIN: Dieng got off to a slow start this season, but has worked his way back into a significant role with the team as he has played at least 29 minutes in seven of his last eight games. Not only is he an excellent rebounder, but Dieng has also recorded at least one block in seven straight games and at least one steal in six of his last eight games. He has recorded at least 25.7 FanDuel points in each of his last four games and it's not out of the question to expect similar production again Wednesday against the Spurs.
