FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Helper: Monday 2/1/21

Core Plays: Devonte' Graham ($5,500) is one of our model's top-projected values at shooting guard, as we have him going for 31.5 FanDuel points in 34.3 minutes of action. Nevertheless, our model has Russell projected for 38.3 tonight.Value Options: The Bucks are facing a Portland Trail Blazers team that ranks second-worst against shooting guards this season, which brings both Donte DiVincenzo ($4,000) and Pat Connaughton ($3,800) into play. Finally, Nickeil Alexander-Walker ($4,700) faces a Kings' defense that's dead last against shooting guards, and he is fresh off posting 43 FanDuel points on Saturday.Core Plays: With Gary Harris out and P.J. Dozier likely joining him, Will Barton ($4,000) could be in a position to be one of the best values on the slate. This season, in the eight in which he's seen more than 30 minutes of playing time, Barton is averaging 29.8 fantasy points per game. That said, given Miami's 112.3 implied total, I'd lean toward Butler in most of my builds.Value Options: The Thunder surrender more fantasy points to small forwards than any other team, which brings Jae'Sean Tate ($3,900) into play. Porzingis would need 35 FanDuel points to achieve our baseline value, and he's trumped that number four times in his last seven games. numberFire's algorithm has Bazley going for 28.1 FanDuel points in 33.1 minutes of action.Value Options: JaMychal Green ($4,200) and Paul Millsap ($4,100) could both see an uptick in volume with Harris and Dozier out, and they're facing a Detroit Pistons unit that's allowing the second-most FanDuel points to power forwards this season. Meanwhile, Millsap's had 21 or more fantasy points in 10 of his 20 games in 2020-21, and he would need 20.5 for a value figure of 5.0 tonight.Key Studs: Nikola Jokic ($10,900) has produced more than 55 FanDuel points in 8 of his last 10 efforts, including 6 outings of at least 60.8. Drummond dropped 60.4 fantasy points on Minnesota last night, and he should have similar upside tonight.Value Options: Al Horford ($6,300) has posted 49.2 and 38.2 FanDuel points in the two games since he's returned to the lineup for Oklahoma City, and tonight he'll go up against a Houston team allowing the seventh-most fantasy points to the position.
