FanDuel NBA: Wednesday Value Plays

FanDuel NBA: Wednesday Value Plays

This article is part of our FanDuel NBA series.

Wednesday brings nine game on the NBA schedule with excellent teams in action as the Warriors, Bulls, Spurs and Pacers will all play. Did I mention the Sixers are going for back-to-back wins? I can sense that you are on the edge of your seats already.

There are plenty of great choices when selecting your FanDuel lineup Wednesday, but here are some of the better bargain plays to consider.

Point Guard
Tony Parker, $5,500, SA:
Parker posted a solid line Monday against the Bulls as he scored 13 points to go along with nine assists. The Spurs take on the Bucks at home Wednesday, which is favorable for Parker as he has recorded at least 25.6 FanDuel points in each of his last six games at home. He's been healthy so far this season and is poised to post another solid line in this game considering his price.

Isaiah Canaan, $4,400, PHI: Canaan is not going to put up monster stat lines, but you shouldn't be counting on that at this price. If you can get solid production for a discount price, that can go a long ways to making you a big winner. Canaan is that type of player as he doesn't cost much, but has posted at least 21.7 FanDuel points in each of his last six games. Look for him to put up similar production again Wednesday against the Knicks.

Shooting Guard
Jeremy Lamb, $4,700, CHA:
Lamb continues to be a nice cheap option as he has really come into his own off of the bench for the Hornets this season. He has been particularly hot of late as he has posted at least 11 points in each of his last four games and recorded at least seven rebounds in three of those four games. With at least 20.6 FanDuel points in each of his last five games, Lamb should be your man if you want to go with a discount option at shooting guard Wednesday against the Warriors.

Small Forward
Doug McDermott, $3,500, CHI:
I might be reaching on this one, but I just have a feeling about McDermott Wednesday at home against the Nuggets. He has several things working in his favor as he has scored at least 11 points in three of his last four home games, is playing against a bad defensive team and could see extra playing time with both Aaron Brooks (hamstring) and Kirk Hinrich (hip) not expected to play. I'm not saying he's going to explode, but potentially getting around 20 FanDuel points at the minimum price might make him worth taking a chance on.

Power Forward
Kenneth Faried, $6,300, DEN:
The Bulls might be a good defensive team overall, but they always seem to struggle guarding big men. Enter Faried, who is finally getting healthy and has produced at least 19.0 FanDuel points in each of his last two games since returning from an ankle injury despite playing 23 minutes or less in both contests. I think he could have a big performance in this game.

Center
Clint Capela, $4,900, HOU:
Capela is starting now for the Rockets and has posted at least 24.5 FanDuel points in each of his last three games. Not only is he a very good rebounder, but he has also recorded at least two steals in three of his last four games. He faces a poor Pelicans squad Wednesday, leaving him with nice value at this price.

Bismack Biyombo, $3,900, TOR: Biyombo has played at least 31 minutes in each of his last four games with Jonas Valanciunas (finger) out of action, averaging 12.5 rebounds and 2.0 blocks over that stretch. Scoring is not his strength, but it doesn't need to be when he can rebound and block shots like this. As an extremely cheap option, look for Biyombo to provide nice production again Wednesday against the Hawks.
