We have got four games on the slate tonight, with a surprising amount of value available. This is a great slate to target, as there are a lot of great plays without too many options to choose from. We will be building a stars and scrubs lineup tonight, to capitalize on all the value available. We have a few high-end studs to target for tonight and well layout some value plays to easily pay up for them.
Here’s a studs and duds lineup For DFS Basketball 2/13/21 (using DraftKings Values)
| Point Guard | S. Curry | $10,100 | |
| Shooting Guard | $5,400 | ||
| Small Forward | S. Brown | $3,700 | |
| Power Forward | J. Randle | $8,700 | |
| Center | $3,900 | ||
| Guard | $7,200 | ||
| Forward | $4,200 | ||
| Utility | D. Cousins | $6,500 |
Steph Curry has carried the entire offensive load for the Warriors all season. In consequence, Curry has some of the best upside of anyone in the NBA. Curry has scored over 67 FPTS three times in his last six games. Tonight, the warriors have a great matchup against Brooklyn, who allow huge games to scorers. Curry is really in a tier of his own on this slate, as no other player with his upside is playing tonight, If Curry has one of his night against Brooklyn, you will need him for tonight’s four game contest.
The Houston Rockets are without Victor Oladipo and Christian Wood tonight, so they will be our go-to for value. Sterling Brown is way too cheap tonight at $3,700, considering the role he should take on, Brown is averaging over 20 FPTS over the last ten days and has shown big usage in his last three contests. Brown shot sixteen percent last game and still hit decent value for this price. Browns price has nothing but upside tonight if he continues to get decent run.
If you have been sleeping under a rock for the season, Julius Randle is one of the best producers in NBA DFS now. Randle is averaging over 47 FPTS per game and is coming of a 55 FPT performance last night. For tonight’s slate Randle has seen an inexplicable price drop to $8,700. Randle has a great matchup against the Rockets tonight and the Knicks will be short on centers. Randle should be able to crush value tonight and is core forward play for us.
DeMarcus Cousins has disappointed recently on slates where he was getting massive ownership at a higher price. Looking in the game log, you will see the Rockets have been blown out every game since Cousins got the start. Cousins is a monster per minute fantasy producer but will not play in blowouts due to his previous injuries. The Rockets should be able to avoid a blowout tonight against the NBA’s long time laughing stock, the New York Knicks.
Now what do you get if you sign up now?
• A starting big who is way too cheap tonight
• A few midrange plays with extra usage.
• Different options to attack big GPP’s.
Jordan Clarkson – SG ($5,400 DK) Clarkson should continue to get big minutes today if Mike Conley remains out. As of now it looks like Conley will sit which means Clarkson is too cheap. Clarkson scored 40 FPTS last night and his price has gone down. Clarkson has always been a high usage player and will get good run without Conley. Clarkson has shot the ball at least 15 times in each of his last four games, which is absurd for his price point.
Nerlens Noel – C ($3,900 DK) Last night Mitchell Robinson broke his hand when Noel’s price had already been set for today. Noel is comically priced for a starting center and should hit value easily. Noel is averaging 15,8 FPTS per game this year but should see a massive minute’s bump tonight. Noel has as great floor for the price and is our favorite value option tonight.
John Wall – G ($7,200 DK) Wall should get increased usage tonight for an undermanned Houston squad. This price would be great for Wall if everyone were healthy, making him a smash play in this spot. Wall is averaging 37.6 FPTS over the last ten days. Wall has had minutes concerns earlier in the year, but his minutes have looked great lately. Wall should play huge minutes if this stays close and will dominate the ball.
Danuel House Jr. – F ($4,200 DK) House is in a great spot for DFS, where his price is adjusted for floor shooting performances. House has played over 30 minutes in his last three games, which is great for his price. House has shot woefully in that span but is still averaging well over 20 FPTS. House will crush value tonight if he can put together a decent shooting performance.
Alternative Moves…
Rudy Gobert – C ($7,100 DK) Gobert is a great play tonight because of his price point. Gobert is averaging just shy of 40 FPTS a night and is priced at a $1000 discount tonight. Gobert scored over 50 FPTS last night and is always capable of a big night. Gobert can hit value on a subpar performance tonight and is a core play for Cash games.
Eric Gordon – G ($5,800 DK) Gordon will be in the starting lineup today for the Rockets. Gordon should play big minutes and get up a nice number of shots. Gordon has great upside and will crush his price if his shot is falling. The only problem with Gordon tonight is you may want to avoid playing too many Rockets.
