FanDuel NBA: Tuesday-Wednesday Value Plays

FanDuel NBA: Tuesday-Wednesday Value Plays

This article is part of our FanDuel NBA series.

Tuesday's FanDuel contests stretch into Wednesday's action as there are fewer teams still alive in the playoffs. Let's take a look at some of the better players to consider for your lineup from the Rockets/Spurs on Tuesday and the Wizards/Celtics on Wednesday.

John Wall, WAS at BOS ($10,600): While this series is tied 2-2, Wall has been consistently great as he has scored at least 44.2 fantasy points in all four contests. Not only has he scored at least 20 points in all four games, he has dished out at least 12 assists in three of the four. It's safe to expect big things from him again in Game 5 Wednesday.

Eric Gordon, HOU at SA ($5,000): While not spectacular, Gordon has been solid in the first four games of the series as he has scored at least 20.3 fantasy points in each. He put up his best performance in Game 4 when he scored 27.1 fantasy points in 32 minutes. Gordon could see an increase in playing time as the Rockets may need to play smaller with Nene Hilario (groin) out for the rest of the playoffs. The price is right to roll with him for Game 5.

Patty Mills, SA vs. HOU ($4,800): Mills has played at least 28 minutes and scored at least 20.9 fantasy points in both games since Tony Parker (quadriceps) was lost for the season. His ceiling isn't very high based on his role in the offense, but he can score just enough to make himself valuable. It's hard to find a good cheap option in the playoffs, but Mills is just that.

Kawhi Leonard, SA vs. HOU ($11,000): The Rockets won Game 4 in convincing fashion, which limited Leonard to 30.2 fantasy points in only 30 minutes. However, he had scored at least 44.2 fantasy points in each of the first three games of the series. He provides tremendous value on both ends of the floor, so look for another dominant performance in Game 5.

Otto Porter, WAS at BOS ($5,400): Porter has been excellent against the Celtics as he has scored at least 31.8 fantasy points in all four games of the series. He has taken advantage of the Celtics' inability to rebound by grabbing at least eight boards in each game so far. He gets plenty of opportunities to produce as he has played at least 38 minutes in three of the four games of the series, making him worth using again in Game 5.

Ryan Anderson, HOU at SA ($4,200): Anderson was excellent at the start of this series, as he scored at least 29.1 fantasy points in both of the first two games. He cooled down after that though, scoring a total of 21 fantasy points over the last two games. With Nene out of action, Anderson may also see increased playing time as the Rockets will need his size. At this cheap of a price, it's worth entering him into your lineup.

Clint Capela, HOU at SA ($6,400): Like Gordon and Anderson, Capela will likely also see an increased role due to Nene's injury. He's had some big performances so far this series, scoring at least 40.1 fantasy points in two of the four games. His excellent production has come despite the fact that he has played at least 30 minutes only once in the series. With so few players available at center, Capela is one the best options.

Marcin Gortat, WAS at BOS ($5,300): Gortat only scored 18.9 fantasy points in Game 4, but he recorded a double-double and scored at least 34.2 fantasy points in each of the first three games of the series. The key to his production has been significant playing time as he played at least 31 minutes in each of the first three games. Expect him to continue to dominate on the glass and be worth this price in Game 5.
