FanDuel DFS Values Of The Night: Friday (May 14)

Kent Bazemore is seeing a steady dose of minutes as the Warriors continue to jockey for playoff position.

See below for a breakdown of value plays for tonight’s slate of games on Fan Duel by FantasyPros.

Gary Trent Jr. (SG – TOR) $4,900
In his three games back from injury, Trent has been playing major minutes and returning solid fantasy numbers. The Raptors guard has been a 0.84 FPPM guy across his last 10 games played, and I see him in line for 35+ minutes tonight. Dallas might not be the most exciting team to face fantasy-wise, but I could still easily see Trent returning the highest value of the slate, making him a solid GPP or cash option.

D.J. Augustin (PG – HOU) $3,800
I wrote about Augustin in the last article, and here he is again. In his first game back from injury, Augustin tallied 24 FanDuel points across 28 minutes of play. I could easily see Augustin record similar production tonight as the Rockets are still the walking wounded. The Rockets guard has a chance to return the best value on the slate and should be in your GPP and cash lineups,

Cameron Oliver (PF – HOU) $3,500
Due to the plethora of injuries the Rockets face, Oliver has seen plenty of minutes on the court in his two games as a Rocket. Oliver should be used in GPP lineups only because he doesn’t exactly have a floor, and the Clippers boast one of the more slower-paced and enhanced defenses in the league. With that being said, $3,500 is a beautiful price that will allow plenty of options elsewhere to fill your lineup.

Freddie Gillespie (PF – TOR) $3,800
Make sure to monitor injury news, but if Yuta Watanabe is out with his injury, Gillespie is in an absolute smash spot. Even if Watanabe is in, I still like Gillespie. Not only has the Baylor product seen a boost in playing time, but usage as well. Against the Clippers, Gillespie tallied 31 FanDuel points across 25 minutes of play. Due to his price being so low, he is not as risky, so feel free to play him in GPP or cash lineups.

Jae’Sean Tate (PF – HOU) $5,500
For another player who I discussed in a previous article, we have Jae’Sean Tate. Due to all the injuries still impacting the Rockets, Tate will be another solid choice at the power forward position. While his ceiling isn’t the highest, I prefer him in GPP lineups because he shouldn’t be highly owned and offers nice leverage.

Saben Lee (PG – DET) $4,100
With Dennis Smith Jr. out for the season and roughly half the rest of the team hurt, Lee is in a good spot tonight for some fantasy production. I expect him to play around 25 minutes and tally 26 FanDuel points. I expect Lee to have a ceiling of 40 fantasy points, so he should be good for GPP and cash lineups.

Jarrett Allen (C – CLE) $6,200
There isn’t much value offered tonight from the center position, but if I’m choosing who will return the most value here, it’s Allen. Washington offers an absolute dream matchup all around, as they not only struggle to cover centers but the increased pace of play will give Allen extra looks as well. Allen has seen a slight uptick in minutes, so he makes a solid cash and GPP choice.

Gabriel Deck (SF – OKC) $4,000
If you’ve never heard of Gabriel Deck, then don’t worry. I hadn’t either until recently. Small forward is a notoriously difficult spot to fill, so if you’re looking for a GPP punt, Deck is your guy. His production has been quite consistent, but he is facing off against a tough Utah team, so I still see Deck as a GPP only play.

Kent Bazemore (SF – GS) $4,900
Considering the elevated pace of play we should see in the Warriors Pelicans game, Bazemore has a solid chance to return the best small forward value in the entire slate. He has been consistently playing 30+ minutes, and with Golden State fighting for last-second seeding, I expect the Warriors to lean more so on their starters.
