Alec Burks (G – GSW): $6,000 @ CHA

Burks is admittedly a streaky player but against the right matchups can be a great value.

Jones is a great value play tonight against the Bulls, who allow the 10th most fantasy points to opponents and rank 14th in defensively in the NBA.

Look for Jones to put up close to 30 fantasy points against this lowly Bulls team.
Forwards
Luka Doncic (F – DAL): $11,600 vs. MIN
Normally I would suggest you take Giannis in this spot, but Doncic has been playing lights out and has become a can’t miss player. He plays the Timberwolves who give up the 5th most fantasy points to opposing Small Forwards. Doncic over his last 5 games has averaged 62 fantasy points and has had multiple games over 70 fantasy points. Look for Doncic to go off again tonight and give you close to 70 fantasy points against the Timberwolves.
Carmelo Anthony (F – POR): $6,200 vs SAC
Anthony has surprisingly played well since he joined the Trail Blazers this season. He faces the Kings who rank 19th defensively in the NBA and give up the 6th most fantasy points to opposing Small Forwards. Anthony over his last 5 games has averaged 30 fantasy points and should get you close to 35 fantasy points in tonight’s matchup against the Kings.
Tauren Prince (F – BKN): $5,800 @ ATL
Prince faces the Hawks tonight who rank 25th defensively in the NBA and give up the most fantasy points to opposing Small Forwards. Prince over his last 5 games has averaged 29 fantasy points. The matchup tonight for Prince is against his former team and he should be extra motivated. Prince is a great value play and should get you close to 34 fantasy points tonight.
Miles Bridges (F – CHA): $5,100 vs. GSW
Bridges is another player that has been up and down all season but has a great matchup against the Warriors who rank 28th defensively in the NBA. Bridges over his last 5 games has averaged 25 fantasy points. Against the Warriors, look for Bridges to give around 30 fantasy points tonight.
Centers
Domantas Sabonis (C – IND): $8,300 @ OKC
Sabonis matches up against the Thunder who he dominated about 3 weeks ago with 43.5 fantasy points. Over his last 5 games, Sabonis is averaging 41 fantasy points and the Thunder give up the 13th most fantasy points to opposing Centers. Look for Sabonis to provide you close to 45 fantasy points tonight.
Jarrett Allen (C – BKN): $6,000 @ ATL
Allen over his last 5 games has been averaging 39 fantasy points. He faces the Hawks who are ranked 25th defensively in the NBA and give up the 7th most fantasy points to opposing Centers. Allen has the ability to go off and this matchup is a pretty juicy one for him, especially if he gets the minutes. If Allen plays over 30 minutes, look for him to give you close to 50 fantasy points.
Omari Spellman (C – GSW): $4,800 @ CHA
Spellman has been playing a decent amount of minutes these past few games and faces the Hornets who are ranked 29th defensively in the NBA. The Hornets also give up the 3rd most fantasy points to opposing centers. Spellman over his last 5 games has averaged 25 fantasy points and should be in line to give you around 28 fantasy points in tonight’s matchup against the Hornets.
