FanDuel College Basketball: Saturday Value Plays

FanDuel College Basketball: Saturday Value Plays

This article is part of our FanDuel College Basketball series.

Welcome to another edition of our FanDuel Value plays for Saturday, Feb. 13. The big dance is just over a month away and conference tournaments are right around the corner. Saturday's early contests include a 13-game slate with lots of different options to choose from. Let's take a look at Saturday's value plays for the 12:00 p.m. - 3:00 p.m. slate.

Guards

Isaiah Cousins, Oklahoma vs. Kansas ($8,600): The last time these two teams played the final score was 109-106 after three overtimes, and Cousins' teammate Buddy Hield finished with 46 points. While this game will also be a fast-paced affair, the Jayhawks will do everything in their power to make sure that Hield doesn't beat them. This will leave the door open for the rest of the Sooners' scorers to step up, and they'll have plenty of opportunity to produce. Cousins is averaging a solid line of 13.6 points, 4.6 rebounds and 4.6 assists per game, and the fast-paced style will make him the best option behind Hield.

Jordan Woodard, Oklahoma vs. Kansas ($6,300): Much like Cousins, Woodard will see plenty of opportunities and the last time they played Kansas, the junior guard finished with 27 points and seven assists. Woodard shoots 49 percent from three-point land, and he should get a lot of looks in this game. Woodard is capable of putting up the same type of numbers as Cousins, which makes him an even better value play at $2,300 cheaper.

George King, Colorado vs. Washington ($5,900): King seems to be getting better each and every week, and he's finished with at least 16 points and eight rebounds in two of his last three contests. This game is going to be up and down the floor from the opening tip, and that should play right into the sophomore's skillset. King is averaging 14.5 points and 4.4 rebounds per game this season, which is solid production at $5,900.

Raphael Davis, Purdue vs. Michigan ($6,300): Davis has been a streaky scorer for much of the year, but he's scored at least 17 points in two of his last three games. The senior guard went for 24 points, seven rebounds, two assists, two blocks and two steals in Tuesday's win over Michigan State. If he can provide production that's even close to that, he'll be a solid value play against Michigan in what could be a high-scoring affair.

Forwards

Danuel House, Texas A&M vs. LSU ($6,800): House is averaging 15.6 points, 5.0 rebounds and 2.5 assists per game this season, and he's going to be relied upon heavily in Saturday's game against LSU. The Aggies have lost three straight games, and four of their last five, following their first top-10 ranking in quite some time. House has scored in double-figures in all but two games this year, and he'll likely do so again Saturday.

Tim Quarterman, LSU vs. Texas A&M ($6,300): Quarterman has been in a bit of a scoring slump over the last three games, but he scored at least 19 points in four of the five games prior to that stretch. Even when the junior guard doesn't put up big point totals, he still scores well in other categories. Look for Quarterman to get back on track Saturday.

Landry Nnoko, Clemson vs. Georgia Tech ($5,600): Nnoko is boom or bust on any given night, and he's made that very clear over the last four games. In two of those games, the senior forward had a combined five points and six rebounds. In the other two he went for a combined 29 points, 20 rebounds, nine blocks and two assists. I love guys who are capable of large block totals, and Nnoko had eight of them at Virginia Tech last Saturday. Again, this could be a total flop, but I like Nnoko this weekend at home against Georgia Tech for a fairly low price.

Wesley Gordon, Colorado vs. Washington ($5,600): If you look at Gordon's season as a whole, you'd say this might be flyer, and I certainly wouldn't argue against that. However, the junior forward has recorded impressive double-doubles in both of the last two games, including a four-block performance against Washington State on Thursday. At $5,600, Gordon is worth a shot in what figures to be a fast-paced game.
