NBA DFS Breakdown (Friday, Jan. 29): Buy Low on Nikola Jokic?

He’s one of the best pure values at point guard on FanDuel, where his $5,800 salary comes with a Bargain Rating of 72%.Fred VanVleet has scored at least 41.75 DraftKings points in each of his past three games, yet his salary has actually dropped by -$800 over that time frame. He’s averaged 0.91 FanDuel points per minute over the past month, and he’s posted a positive Plus/Minus in his past two games. He’s also increased his fantasy production to 1.19 FanDuel points per minute over the past month.Joel Embiid is currently listed as questionable, and Tobias Harris would see one of the biggest bumps in value if he’s unable to suit up. He’s increased his usage rate by +4.0% with Embiid off the court this season – which is the second-highest mark on the team – and he’s averaged 1.20 DraftKings points per minute in that situation. He’s averaged 1.65 DraftKings points per minute this season, and while that’s not as impressive as his mark from last season, it still gives him arguably the highest ceiling in the league whenever he takes the floor.His playing time has been up recently — he’s logged at least 36.4 minutes in back-to-back games — and his fantasy numbers in those contests have been impressive. It results in a Bargain Rating of 98%, and DeRozan has historically averaged a Plus/Minus of +5.05 with a comparable salary as a member of the Spurs (per the Trends tool).Aaron Gordon is listed as a power forward on FanDuel, but he’s actually been playing more like a point guard recently. He’s been absolutely dominant recently, averaging 1.61 DraftKings points per minute over the past month, and he should be able to destroy the Timberwolves on the interior.
