FanDuel NBA: Wednesday Value Plays

FanDuel NBA: Wednesday Value Plays

This article is part of our FanDuel NBA series.

Wednesday brings a packed evening for the NBA as there are 10 games on the schedule. With so many options to filter through for your FanDuel lineup, let's get down to business and look at some of the better options to consider.

James Harden, HOU vs. LAL ($12,000): Harden continues to be a stat machine this season and has scored at least 46.9 FanDuel points in each of his last five games. He is coming off of an excellent performance against the Cavaliers on Sunday, when he scored 66.5 FanDuel points. Wednesday brings a great matchup against the porous Lakers defense, so get ready for another big game from Harden.

Darren Collison, SAC at PHO ($5,700): Collison has had a couple of big performances of late as he has scored at least 30.4 FanDuel points in two of his last three games. The Kings have been inconsistent with their rotations since the trade of DeMarcus Cousins, but Collison has managed to play at least 30 minutes in five of his last eight games. He gets a nice matchup against the Suns who allow the third most FanDuel points to opposing point guards.

Jeremy Lamb, CHA at IND ($4,900): Nicolas Batum (migraine) will sit out again Wednesday, leaving Lamb with an increased role. He cashed in his opportunity for increased minutes Monday against the Bulls when he scored 34.8 FanDuel points. It's hard to pass him up at this price considering his potential.

Kawhi Leonard, SA vs. POR ($9,400): Leonard is left to shoulder the offensive burden for the Spurs with LaMarcus Aldridge (chest) out of action. He came through with 31 points Monday against the Hawks and finished with 40 FanDuel points. Considering he has scored at least 51.2 FanDuel points in four of his last six games, Wednesday could be another productive evening.

Marvin Williams, CHA at IND ($6,500): Williams has been on fire of late as he has scored at least 44.1 FanDuel points in each of his last three games and has scored at least 35.9 FanDuel points in five of his last six games. A lot of his production has come on the glass as he has grabbed at least 10 rebounds in four straight games. Based on his recent hot streak, the price is right to take a shot on it continuing for at least one more contest Wednesday.

Nemanja Bjelica, MIN at BOS ($4,400): Bjelica has seen an increased role lately as he has played at least 29 minutes in each of the last three games. The increased playing time has paid off as he has scored at least 27.4 FanDuel points in two of those three games. His bargain-basement price Wednesday makes him an intriguing option if you need to save money at power forward.

Karl-Anthony Towns, MIN at BOS ($10,800): Towns has been very consistent as he has scored at least 41.5 FanDuel points in 10 of his late 11 games. Towns has taken a big leap forward in his second season in the league as he is averaging 24.5 points, 12.3 rebounds, 1.4 blocks and 1.2 three-pointers per game. He won't be cheap Wednesday, but he's been worth it.

Clint Capela, HOU vs. LAL ($5,300): Capela might not be flashy, but he's been productive as he has scored at least 25.4 FanDuel points in five of his last six games. While he's only averaging 24 minutes per game this season, he has still been able to post averages of 12.5 points, 7.8 rebounds and 1.3 blocks per game. The Lakers allow the second most points to opposing centers in the league, making Capela an attractive option Wednesday.

Ivica Zubac, LAL at HOU ($4,900): The Lakers are giving their young players increased playing time, which has resulted in Zubac entering the starting lineup. He is coming off of a big performance Monday against the Nuggets when he scored 40.7 FanDuel points in 30 minutes. He won't be this cheap for long if he keeps this up, so take advantage of it while you can Wednesday.
