Just four games between eight teams make up Tuesday’s featured NBA DFS slate. With such a select group of contests to choose from, building a winning lineup can be intimidating. With that being said, it’s certainly not impossible. Which bargain plays should fantasy managers consider before the start of tonight’s matchups?

PG/SG Coby White, Charlotte Hornets vs. SAC ($4,700)
In a savvy trade deadline move, the Hornets brought aboard former Bulls standout Coby White. The seventh-year pro is a true microwave scorer, capable of putting up buckets in a hurry. However, he’s shifted into a Sixth Man role during his time in Charlotte. In 11 games with his new team, White is putting up 14.9 points, 3.1 rebounds and 3.8 assists while shooting 43/35/84 from the field (25.8 FPTS). That’s despite averaging just under 20 minutes per game.
Charlotte’s prized acquisition is far from a sure thing. However, he’s been phenomenal over the past two weeks. White has notched at least 30.5 fantasy points in four straight games. He’s in line for another impressive showing against a miserable Kings defense. Sacramento has coughed up the sixth-most fantasy points to opposing point guards this season. Even in a limited role, White is worth backing tonight at such a modest salary.
C Mitchell Robinson, New York Knicks vs. NOP ($4,400)
Karl-Anthony Towns ($4,400) has been on a tear during the month of March. However, it’s not as if KAT is the only center worth mentioning in New York. Overqualified backup Mitchell Robinson has been a force on both ends of the floor for the Knicks. Through 53 games, the big man has accounted for 5.4 points and 9.0 rebounds (21.9 FPTS). On defense, he’s chipped in with 0.9 steals and a team-leading 1.1 blocks. If not for miserable free throw shooting, the veteran would be one of the NBA’s most consistent bench options.
Even with his struggles from the charity stripe, Robinson has been tremendous as of late. The eighth-year pro has tallied at least 24.0 fantasy points in five of his last six outings. To boot, he’s averaging a whopping 12.2 rebounds in just 21.5 minutes per game during that time. Now, Mitch will get to take on a Pelicans squad allowing the sixth-most fantasy points to opposing centers. In addition, New Orleans is giving up 55.3 rebounds per game, tied for the NBA’s fourth-highest mark. All signs are pointing to a potential double-double from Robinson in this one.
