FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Helper: Thursday 2/4/21

Those kinds of minutes are unlikely to happen again, but Wall did manage 38.7 fantasy points in 21.7 minutes three days ago -- he's plenty capable of producing in short stints.Ben Simmons ($8,700) has eclipsed 50 fantasy points three times in his last six games, and tonight he faces a Portland Trail Blazers team that's ceding the fifth-most fantasy points to the position this season. That said, if he does suit up and there are no reports of any limitations, he is one of the top studs to target on this slate.(Update: Lillard is OUT tonight.)Value Options: Our model's top-projected value at point is Monte Morris ($3,900). Melton has put up 35.0, 39.9, and 26.4 FanDuel points in the three games Allen has missed.Honorable Mentions: If Lillard can't go tonight, we'll look to Anfernee Simons ($4,400) for value. It was the second time in three games that Hunter has missed in which Huerter had recorded at least 34 fantasy points -- he has also played at least 38.5 minutes in each of those three games. Dillon Brooks ($5,200) is fresh off posting 40.1 fantasy points on Tuesday -- he's our model's third-best projected value at the position. Stud to Consider: numberFire's algorithm projects Donovan Mitchell ($7,800) to amass 37.5 FanDuel points tonight, 7.8 more than any other shooting guard on the slate. Davis has garnered 50-plus in four of his last seven and dating back to last season, he's averaging 50.9 FanDuel points in games following a sub-40 fantasy-point performance -- that includes only one outing with fewer than 49.1. Mid-Range and Value Options: The Rockets have allowed the fifth-most fantasy points to centers this season, so Gorgui Dieng ($5,300) is firmly in play after dudding on Tuesday.
