FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Helper: Thursday 1/21/21

Given that the Los Angeles Lakers-Milwaukee Bucks game total is 12 points higher than any of the other two games on the slate and the fact that we have a tight spread, we'll want as much exposure to that matchup as we can muster up.Key stud: Power forward is undoubtedly the most loaded position at the high-end on this slate, as it features three of our model's top-five projected scorers. At his modest salary, Wiseman would need only 22 fantasy points to achieve value (5.0 points per every $1,000 in salary) -- he's topped that in three of his last four games. Given that the Warriors are ceding the 10th-most fantasy points to the position, another performance like that is certainly not out of the question.Other option to consider: Steven Adams ($5,200) has been hit-or-miss at times lately, but he has amassed at leas 28.7 FanDuel points in six of his last nine -- he needs 26 for our baseline value figure. Barrett has posted 38.7 and 40.0 FanDuel points in his last two games, and he's trumped 33.5 (what he needs for a 5.0 value figure) on seven different occasions. The good news is that Middleton has posted at least 41 FanDuel points in four of his last six games -- he would need 40 for a value figure of 5.0. Bledsoe's been anything but consistent this season, but at his salary, he'd need just 23.5 FanDuel points to accrue a value figure of 5.0. Payton has had six games with at least 29.1 FanDuel points this season.Core plays: Our model's fourth-best projected value on the slate is Donte DiVincenzo ($4,400).
