There are six games on Thursday’s NBA slate, which puts some constraints on where DFS managers can go to look for value options. Unlike the NFL DFSWhere a single pick can make or break your roster or where it’s difficult to find low-level quality value, NBA DFS differs.
In the NBA DFS, you can find quality plays worth $5,000 or less that can quickly give you 10 points off the bench, grab a few rebounds, or fill up the stat sheet. We will provide you with three players that you I have to put in your alignment.
Daniel Gafford, Mavericks, $4,900
THE Nonconformists Big Man is on pace to break Wilt Chamberlain’s record for consecutive field goals, he only needs three more marks in a row. He’s recorded 34+ DKFP in three straight games and four of the last five, so it’s best to keep tracking him on this hot streak. Dallas could be without Luka Doncic on Thursday, which would impact Gafford’s production. However, he does enough defensively and can’t miss at the moment, making him a solid value addition for Thursday’s roster.
Jock Landale, Rockets, $4,800
Landale has topped 23 DKFP in each of the last two games as the team’s primary big man. Rockets. Alperen Sengun is out due to injury, so Landale should get solid minutes again. The match is once again extremely favorable for the center this evening. THE Wizards ranks 30th in fantasy points allowed to opposing big men, and there’s blowout potential that would allow Landale to get even more playing time. Back under center for tonight’s DFS contests.
Lu Dort, Tonnerre, $4,200
Oklahoma City’s starting power forward remains one of the best bargains among DFS rosters, even if the upside is limited. Dort has reached 22+ DKFP in five of the last six games, going as high as 28+ DKFP twice. Dort has a solid matchup Thursday with the Mavericks on the second night of a back-to-back set. Dallas ranks 28th in fantasy points allowed to opposing small forwards. THE Thunder are 11-point favorites, so there’s potential for a blowout, but that scenario probably still benefits Dort in terms of usage. It’s a great game at this price.
