This article is part of our FanDuel NBA series.
The NBA has five games on tap Sunday, but per usual they are spread out over the day. There is one early game at 3:30 ET, two games at 7 PM ET, then two more at 8 PM ET or after. FanDuel is offering three sets of games: a whole-day option including all five games (few contests, smallest prizes), an early-only option with three games, and a "main" option including the four games that begin at 7 PM. Most of the contests and the biggest prizes are for the "main" later games, though in this article all five games were considered.
C.J. McCollum, POR vs DEN ($7400): Outside of the mauling that the entire team took from the Clippers, McCollum has been in the zone this week. In his other three games he has averaged 33.7 points, 4.7 assists, 3.7 boards and 2.3 steals per game. Plus he faces a beatable Nuggets defense at home on Sunday.
Emmanuel Mudiay, DEN at POR ($5800): Mudiay has also played well outside of a blowout loss over the past week, averaging 24 points, 5.7 boards, 3.7 assists and 2.0 combined steals/blocks in the other three games.
Lou Williams, LAL at MIN ($5000): Williams just continues to consistently produce off the Lakers bench. He's now scored 21 points in consecutive games, adding 2.5 of everything else (rebounds, assists and steals) over his last two outings.
Kevin Love, CLE vs CHA ($7500): Love is the least heralded of the Cavaliers' Big

Kevin Love, CLE vs CHA ($7500): Love is the least heralded of the Cavaliers' Big Three, but he is quietly playing consistently strong basketball. He has scored at least 14 points in every game this season on his way to an average of 21 points. Furthermore, he has five double-doubles including three in a row, and is facing a Hornets team that ranks 27th in the NBA in production allowed to opposing power forwards.
Andrew Wiggins, MIN vs LAL ($6500): Wiggins has been on fire this week, averaging 29 points with 5.3 boards and 3.7 assists in his last three games. He seems to be finding his level as the second Timberwolves star next to Karl-Anthony Towns.
Domantas Sabonis ($4000) or Andre Roberson ($3800), OKC vs ORL: Sabonis and Roberson are both low-priced players that have the ability to throw in a starter-level game here and there. Sunday could bring opportunities for either/both of them, since they'll be playing a relatively weak Magic squad in a matchup that could allow for additional minutes.
Karl-Anthony Towns, MIN vs LAL ($8600): Towns has been playing at a superstar level, averaging 26 points with 9.6 boards, 1.8 assists, 1.6 and 2.4 combined steals/blocks over his last five games. The Lakers don't have anyone that can slow him down.
Mason Plumlee, POR vs DEN ($5200): Plumlee is just a consistent producer across the board that finds ways to fill up the box score. He notched eight points, seven boards, seven assists, two blocks and two steals against DeMarcus Cousins before fouling out Friday. With his passing ability and corresponding assist totals, he almost always puts up a positive number.
