FanDuel NBA: Tuesday Value Plays

FanDuel NBA: Tuesday Value Plays

This article is part of our FanDuel NBA series.

There are only two days left during the NBA regular season and Tuesday brings five games on the schedule. It can get crazy at this point with teams resting players, but the good news for FanDuel Tuesday is only two teams with winning records are in action. Here are some of the better players to consider across the price scale…

Devin Booker, PHO at SAC ($7,900): Booker is finishing the season on a high note as he has scored at least 40.5 FanDuel points in four of his last six games. Other than playing only 23 minutes Sunday against the Mavericks, he had played at least 37 minutes in five straight games. He gets an excellent matchup Tuesday against the Kings as they allow the second most FanDuel points per game to opposing shooting guards.

Tyler Ulis, PHO at SAC ($6,400): Ulis is also playing well down the stretch as he has scored at least 31 FanDuel points in six of his last eight games. The Suns have been sitting players for a while now, which has opened up big minutes for Ulis. He had a good game against these same Kings about a month ago when he scored 38.7 FanDuel points and could be in for another big evening Tuesday.

Jordan Crawford, NO at LAL ($3,700): Crawford has been a solid addition off the bench for the Pelicans and has scored at least 21.2 FanDuel points in five of his last six games. He's not going to contribute much in multiple categories, but he has been an offensive weapon as he has scored at least 15 points in three of his last four games. The Lakers are terrible defensively, making Crawford a viable option at this cheap price.

T.J. Warren, PHO at SAC ($6,500): Warren enters Tuesday having scored at least 33.4 FanDuel points in five of his last seven games. He too continues to log a lot of minutes as he has played at least 33 minutes in five of those same seven games. He put up a big performance when these two teams met last month as he scored 41.3 FanDuel points.

Willie Cauley-Stein, SAC vs. PHO ($6,300): This game between the Suns and Kings is full of great options Tuesday. Cauley-Stein has scored at least 30 FanDuel points in three of his last four games and has really benefited from the DeMarcus Cousins trade to the Pelicans. Double-doubles have been the name of the game for Cauley-Stein, as he has four in his last five games. He came away with a whopping 47.7 FanDuel points against the Suns last month and could be in for another big night.

Larry Nance Jr., LAL vs. NO ($4,600): The Lakers are giving Nance extended run down the stretch, and he has been able to score at least 28.2 FanDuel points in each of his last four games as a result. He hasn't scored more than 15 points in any of those games, but he did grab at least nine rebounds and record at least one steal in each.

Karl-Anthony Towns, MIN vs. OKC ($10,600): The Timberwolves have been playing their studs down the stretch as Towns has logged at least 39 minutes in six of his last eight games. One of the top fantasy options all season, Towns has scored at least 47.4 FanDuel points in four of his last five games. With so few elite players worth considering Tuesday, Towns is one high-priced player to spend your money on.

Alexis Ajinca, NO at LAL ($3,700): Other than Towns, there aren't any really exciting options at center Tuesday. If you can't afford him, take a shot on Ajinca. DeMarcus Cousins (Achilles) and Anthony Davis (knee) have been ruled out for this game, leaving extra minutes for Ajinca who has scored at least 25.7 FanDuel points in each of his last two contests. He's not likely to have a huge evening, but at this price, he's well worth it.
