This article is part of our FanDuel NBA series.
Tuesday night brings six games on the NBA schedule with the Spurs, Raptors, Clippers and Jazz all in action. Although there are only six games, there is still a lot of elite talent in action to choose from for your FanDuel entry. Let's take a look at those elite options and others across that price scale that can hopefully help you win some cash.
Eric Bledsoe, PHO vs. MIN ($9,300): Bledsoe is averaging 37.1 FanDuel points per game this season, but has been even better of late as he has scored at least 41.5 FanDuel points in each of his last four games. Not only did he score at least 22 points in all four of those, but he also dished out at least nine assists in three. He'll look to continue his hot streak against a Timberwolves squad that is only 6-15 on the road this season.
Devin Booker, PHO vs. MIN ($6,500): Booker has been excellent in his second season in the league, as he is averaging 20.5 points, 2.8 rebounds, 3.1 assists and 1.0 steal per game. He's averaging 34 minutes, but has played even more lately as he has logged at least 37 minutes in each of his last seven games. On an evening where there aren't many elite options at shooting guard, Booker makes for a nice mid-tier option.
Austin Rivers, LAC at PHI ($5,400): Rivers exploded for 27 points Monday against the Hawks and also dished out at least five assists for the third time in his last four games. He's seen an increased role with Chris Paul (thumb) out of action and has come through with at least 24.2 FanDuel points in each of his last five. Although Blake Griffin (knee) might return Tuesday and eat into Rivers' scoring opportunities, it could help him in the assist department.
Jimmy Butler, CHI at ORL ($9,600): While the Bulls have been inconsistent this season, Butler has provided steady production, averaging 24.7 points, 6.6 rebounds, 4.8 assists and 1.7 steals per game. The Bulls' point guards have been awful this season and Butler has actually been running the point more often lately, resulting in at least six assists in five of his last six games. If this trend continues, it will only make him an even more valuable option.
Taj Gibson, CHI at ORL ($4,700): Gibson has not played well lately as he hasn't scored more than 17.6 FanDuel points in either of his last two games. However, he had provided at least 27.9 FanDuel points in three of four prior to that stretch. The Bulls will need his size up front to battle with the Magic's frontcourt depth, so look for Gibson to take on a significant role in this game.
Terrence Ross, TOR vs. SA ($4,000): Ross makes for an intriguing cheap option Tuesday, as he could see extra minutes with DeMar DeRozan (ankle) out of action. He's only averaging 22 minutes a game this season, but has still managed to average 10.4 points per contest. The price is right to give Ross a shot if you need to save money at small forward.
Karl-Anthony Towns, MIN at PHO ($10,500): Towns has exploded for at least 54.1 FanDuel points in five of his last seven games. Not only is he a walking double-double, but he is also averaging 2.1 blocks and 1.0 steal over his last seven, as well. The Suns are allowing an average of 111.5 points per game this season, making Towns an even juicier option Tuesday.
Tyson Chandler, PHO vs. MIN ($6,200): Chandler might not be the defender that he once was, but he is still an excellent rebounder as he has grabbed at least 15 rebounds in seven of his last eight games. He's averaging 24.6 FanDuel points on the season overall, but has been better lately by scoring at least 29 FanDuel points in seven of his last eigh. Though he'll get the tough defensive assignment of guarding Towns, at least it should lead to heavy minutes.
Robin Lopez, CHI at ORL ($4,600): Lopez doesn't always get consistent minutes, as the Bulls tend to only play him heavily if they are facing a big frontcourt. The Magic fit that bill, so don't be surprised to see Lopez play more in this one. Although his playing time has been inconsistent, he has still managed to score at least 23.6 FanDuel points in each of his last five games. He won't cost you much, but he does have some upside.
