4. Delon Wright, Washington Wizards
Even with the return of Monte Morris, Wright still played over 30 minutes in the most recent game, and with a projection of 28 points, he has the potential to exceed his value, with a goal of 34. In a pace-up spot against Atlanta, Wright’s stats include 9.5 points, 4.5 assists, four rebounds and 2.5 steals per game. As a player who frequently picks up steals, Wright’s potential on FanDuel is boosted, making him a solid pick for DFS players looking to round out their lineups.
3. Jaden McDaniels, Minnesota Timberwolves
McDaniels is a small forward and power forward with a price tag of $5,400. He’s projected for 27.3 points, but his goal is 33.1 points, making him an excellent value play. McDaniels is in the optimal lineup 24% of the time and plays 32 minutes per night, averaging 0.8 fantasy point per minute. He contributes across the board, with 13 points, five rebounds, two assists and two stocks per game. McDaniels’ eligibility at two positions makes him a great option for flexibility in building lineups. The matchup against Brooklyn is fast-paced, and Minnesota is only a 5-point underdog, which bodes well for McDaniels’ production. Overall, his solid minutes, price and multi-position eligibility make him a valuable asset for FanDuel NBA DFS players.
2. De’Anthony Melton, Philadelphia 76ers
Melton is an attractive FanDuel NBA DFS pick due to his low price and strong match-up against the Portland Trail Blazers. He is projected to score 22.5 fantasy points at a cost of $4,600, making him a great value play. Melton averages 0.8 fantasy points per minute, and with an estimated playing time of 27 minutes, he can get to approximately 21.6 fantasy points. He has a solid all-around game, with 9.5 points, 4.5 rebounds, two assists and two stocks. His value may improve as the day goes on, but for now, he is an excellent pay-down option for FanDuel players looking to save money.
1. Anthony Edwards, Minnesota Timberwolves
Edwards is projected for 47 points at just 8,800 with a goal of 50 points. He’s in the optimal lineup 35% of the time. Despite the Nets having many wing defenders to throw at him, Edwards runs the team and plays for 36 minutes per game, with a fantastic 1.3 fantasy points per minute, scoring 29 real points on 33% usage, grabbing 6.5 rebounds, and adding 4.5 assists and two stocks.
