FanDuel NBA: Wednesday-Thursday Value Plays

FanDuel NBA: Wednesday-Thursday Value Plays

This article is part of our FanDuel NBA series.

Wednesday's and Thursday's games combine for your chance to bring home some cash on FanDuel. Even though there are only two games, there are a lot of great options to consider for your entry. Here are some players to target across the price scale.

John Wall, WAS at BOS ($10,600): While this series is tied 2-2, Wall has been consistently great as he has scored at least 44.2 FanDuel points in all four contests. Not only has he scored at least 20 points in all four games, but he has dished out at least 12 assists in three of the four. It's safe to expect big things from him again in Game 5 on Wednesday.

Bradley Beal, WAS at BOS ($7,900): Beal scored 29 points in Game 4 on his way to 34.8 FanDuel points. While he failed to score more than 22 FanDuel points in either Game 2 or Game 3, he did score 35.2 FanDuel points in the first game of the series. Expect him to carry a significant offensive load again in Game 5, making him one of the better options available at shooting guard.

Patty Mills, SA at HOU ($4,600): Mills had his best offensive performance in Game 5 as he scored 20 points to go along with four assists. He has now scored at least 20.9 FanDuel points in each of the three games since Tony Parker (quadriceps) went down for the season. At this cheap of a price, it's very tough to pass up on Mills.

Jae Crowder, BOS vs. WAS ($6,200): Crowder has provided steady production in this series, scoring at least 30.4 FanDuel points in three of the four games. He's not a major offensive force, but he does have at least six rebounds and one steal in all four games. While not an elite option, he still provides plenty of value at this mid-tier price.

Otto Porter, WAS at BOS ($5,400): Porter has been excellent against the Celtics, as he has scored at least 31.8 FanDuel points in all four games of the series. He has taken advantage of the Celtics' inability to rebound by grabbing at least eight boards in each game so far. He gets plenty of opportunities to produce as he has played at least 38 minutes in three of the four games of the series, making him worth using again in Game 5.

Ryan Anderson, HOU vs. SA ($4,200): Anderson came off of the bench in Game 5, but he still played 35 minutes as the Rockets only used seven players. He came through with a big performance, scoring 19 points to go along with seven rebounds. With the Rockets using such a tight rotation, Anderson provides a lot of value at this bargain basement price.

Clint Capela, HOU vs. SA ($6,500): While not spectacular, Capela did manage to score nine points to go along with 11 rebounds and three blocks in Game 5. The Rockets don't have much size up front, so they are going to need Capela to continue to provide them with solid rebounding and defensive production. Expect him to at least approach a double-double again in Game 6, making him one of the better options available at center for the evening.

Marcin Gortat, WAS at BOS ($5,300): Gortat only scored 18.9 FanDuel points in Game 4, but he recorded a double-double and scored at least 34.2 FanDuel points in each of the first three games of the series. The key to his production has been significant playing time as he played at least 31 minutes in each of the first three games. Expect him to continue to dominate on the glass and be worth this price in Game 5.
