Tuesday brings a light schedule in the NBA with only four games set to be played. Although there aren't a lot of players to choose from, there are still plenty of intriguing value plays available. Here are some of the better ones to consider for your lineup.
Point Guard
Toney Douglas, NO vs. MIA ($5,000): The Pelicans are a shell of a team compared to what they entered the season with, leaving Douglas with an unexpected opportunity to produce. He has now played at least 31 minutes in three of his last four games, producing now fewer than 26.2 FanDuel points in any of those three contests. The other game during that stretch where he played only 21 minutes, he still managed to record 23.1 FanDuel points. Norris Cole (back) is listed as questionable again Tuesday, but I think Douglas can produce enough at this price even if Cole does manage to play.
Shooting Guard
Josh Richardson, MIA at NO ($4,400): Richardson has started to carve out a nice role for himself as he has played at least 25 minutes in each of his last five games. He has not let the opportunity go to waste as he has recorded at least 24.3 FanDuel points in five of his last six games. Not only is he producing offensively, but he has five blocks and five steals combined over his last four games. Look for him to provide plenty of production Tuesday considering his price.
Small Forward
Michael Beasley, HOU at OKC ($4,800): The Rockets have had a bizarre season, which has continued since the addition of Beasley. He has been a huge boost off the bench, scoring at least 15 points in five of his last six games. Throw in the fact that he has grabbed at least eight rebounds in four of his last six games and the result is Beasley posting at least 26.2 FanDuel points in five of his last six games. Ride the hot hand while you can.
Luke Babbitt, NO vs. MIA ($3,600): Did I mention things are bad in New Orleans? Babbitt has played at least 29 minutes in three of his last five games, posting at least 21.6 FanDuel points in each of those three games. The Pelicans need healthy bodies at this point, so expect Babbitt to play fairly significant minutes again Tuesday, making him an interesting value play at almost the minimum price.
Power Forward
Donatas Motiejunas, HOU at OKC ($3,900): Like Beasley, Motiejunas has come on of late for the Rockets. Although he has played no more than 26 minutes in any of his last four games, he still managed to produce at least 23.7 FanDuel points in three of those contests. He can score in a hurry and is a solid rebounder, so he can still provide valuable production even though he doesn't rack up hardly any assists. At this price, he might be worth a shot if you want to go cheap at power forward Tuesday.
Center
Enes Kanter, OKC vs. HOU ($5,400): Kanter has been a monster off of the bench for the Thunder as he has posted five double-doubles in his last eight games. He has recorded at least 26.4 FanDuel points in seven of his last eight games despite not playing more than 28 minutes in any of those outings. It's clear he doesn't need a ton of playing time to produce, so expect another valuable performance in limited minutes again Tuesday.
Steven Adams, OKC vs. MIA ($4,500): Adams has been a pleasant surprise lately as he has provided at least 20.3 FanDuel points in six of his last eight games. Not known for his offensive prowess, Adams has scored at least 10 points in four of his last five games. His defensive contributions should not go unmentioned either as he has totaled four blocks and six steals over his last four games. On a night where there are so few options, Adams might be worth a shot considering he won't cost you much.
