FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Helper: Monday 1/4/21

Our projections update up until tip-off to reflect current news, we have player news updates, and the FanDuel Scout app will send push notifications for pressing updates regarding your players.We'll also be coming at you with this primer every day, breaking down a few of the day's top plays at each position.Let's take a look at who you should target on tonight's nine-game slate, which locks at 7:00 PM Eastern Time.Tonight's point guard slate is loaded at each salary range, and the upper tier is no exception. Wall has recorded 43.7 and 51.8 fantasy points, and he'd need 42.5 for 5X.Now, let's move on to the slate-winning value plays. Smart has topped 30 FanDuel points with ease in five of his last six, and he'd need just 28.5 for 5X tonight. Tied for the slate's highest salary, James Harden ($11,400) is squarely in play, though our model has him projected for 52.2 FanDuel points (4.8 fewer than what he needs for 5X).If you're shopping in the clearance aisle, our models suggest going for either Delon Wright ($4,400) or Reggie Bullock ($3,600). Holiday has surpassed 25 minutes played in four of his last five, and he's eclipsed 21 FanDuel points in three of his last four -- he'd need 20 to achieve 5X. The 25-year-old has equaled or bettered 30 FanDuel points in three of his last four, and he'd need just 26 to attain 5X at his salary.Power forward is where some studs at various different salary points come into play. Vuce has topped 47.5 fantasy points in three of his last five games, and he'd need just 40.5 for 5X tonight.
