We’ve got 11 games on Friday’s NBA slate as In-Season Tournament action continues, which means plenty of value plays are available to round out DFS lineups. Unlike NFL DFS, where one pick can make or break your lineup or it’s tough to find quality low-tier value, NBA DFS differs.
In NBA DFS, you can find quality value plays $5K or under that can give you a quick 10 points off the bench, grab some rebounds, or stuff the stat sheet. We are going to provide you with three players that you need to put in your lineup.
Harrison Barnes, Kings, $4,800
Barnes remains under the $5k threshold and has an awesome matchup against the Spurs, who are the worst defensive team in the league. The forward is coming off a big game against the Lakers where he tallied 25.8 DKFP. Back the Kings veteran to put together a solid performance Friday evening in a nationally televised contest.
Eric Gordon, Suns, $4,800
Bradley Beal is likely out tonight, which means Gordon either gets the start or will have more minutes in the backcourt than usual. The guard hasn’t quite hit the highs he had early in the season, but is averaging 23.8 DKFP per game and has a great matchup tonight. The Jazz rank 29th in fantasy points allowed to opposing wings, setting up Gordon for a big game.
Patrick Williams, Bulls, $4,600
There’s not a whole lot to like in Chicago right now, but Williams is starting to come into his own. DeMar DeRozan should be back for this game, which will cut into the forward’s production slightly. However, Williams is coming off a good game against Orlando Wednesday and is averaging 30.05 DKFP in his last two. His current form is worth backing at this price point.
