Today we have an 11 game slate on 11/11, as you see today features a lot of 11’s. Before I dive into the games I am going to explain the format I will use in my articles. I specialize on Fanduel but I am starting to try out Draftkings and I will see how it goes, so, for now, the articles will be for plays I like on Fanduel. Each article will have my 5 favorite plays, 1 from each position. I will also include my favorite game to target for each slate. I won’t just point out obvious high priced plays either. I will involve value plays as well. If there are any terms you don’t understand you can view my Guide to Daily Fantasy Sports or just tweet me @DfsSwaggyC . Now time to get into tonight’s games.
My Fab Five
PG
Shelvin Mack $3,700
Points Needed to Hit Value= 18.5
Shelvin Mack is my target at PG for tonight. I see him hitting at least 5x value without a problem today against the Nuggets. This game has a good projected over/under with it being at 222. Elfrid Payton is out tonight, which gives Mack a big boost. Mack has been around 15-20 FDP with Payton playing, now the spot is all his tonight. I liked Mack even before Payton was announced out, now I am locking him in many lineups tonight. Another good sign for him is the fact that he is facing the Nuggets, who are the fourth worst team against PGs giving up an average of 48.5 Fanduel points to PGs this season. This game should be one of the higher paced games on the slate as well. Look for Shelvin Mack to be a very solid play this evening.
SG
Tyreke Evans $6,700
Points Needed to Hit Value= 33.5
Tyreke Evans is my target at SG. The past three games he has been getting at least 30 minutes each game and average over 5x value throughout those 5 games. He faced off against Houston on October 28th and scored 30.4 FDP that game. He only played 24 minutes that game, so give him another 5-10 minutes and he is easily hitting value. This is a pace up game for Evans and is at Houston so the Rockets should control the pace. We just saw Jeff Green, a fellow wingman drop 45 FDP Thursday night against the Rockets so I don’t see why Evans can’t do the same. We should see a good night from Evans.
SF
Robert Covington $6,600
Points Needed to Hit Value= 33
Robert Covington is one of my two locks at SF tonight. Philadelphia and Golden State are two high paced teams which is a good reason why they have the highest projected over/under on tonight slate at 230. He will be highly owned more than likely. Golden State is in the middle of the pack when it comes to guarding SFs. He has played 5 games this season against teams with a better DvP than the Warriors at SF this year and averaged 34.4 FDP. He is in a good spot with a big total and a high paced game, expect a great night from Covington.
PF
Aaron Gordon $7,700
Points Needed to Hit Value= 38.5
I love Aaron Gordons game and the spot he is in tonight facing the Nuggets. Like I stated earlier, Elfrid Payton is out tonight. The player who has benefitted the most with him off the floor has been Aaron Gordon. On top of that this will be a higher paced game involving one of the higher projected totals as well. The Nuggets are not too good when it comes to stopping Power Forwards, they are the 4th worst in DvP when it comes to stopping PFs. They allow an average of 50.3 FDP given up to PFs this year. I can see Gordon having a monster night and hitting way over 5x value as well.
C
Brook Lopez 6,400
Points Needed to Hit Value= 32
Brook Lopez is the final member of my Fab Five tonight. Center was my hardest position to pick just one player to write about. I went with Lopez for a few reasons. The Bucks rank the fifth worse when defending big men. With Greg Monroe gone, Lopez should have no problem with Thon Maker and John Henson. Lopez should put up a double-double tonight and hit value for us.
My Game of the Night
Orlando vs Denver
This game has good value and should stay close since Orlando is coming off a back to back. It has a high total and also has two high paced teams facing off against each other. I will have many pieces from this game in my lines tonight.
