 What's up everybody welcome to the fan duel hurry up I am Frank Stanford joined by Drew dick Meyer of daily roto comm to preview tonight's six game NBA DFS slate What's going on Drew? Not much. I'm excited for the six games late We've got a lot of the injury information already So we can have the best information to make the best line-ups possible over on fan duel Absolutely, we'll give you three stars and three values tonight that you can build your fan duel line-ups around Let's start with James Harden $11,700 at the Memphis Grizzlies tonight the highest total of the night Drew. There's no Russell Westbrook How can you possibly get James Harden in your lineup? Yeah, it's one of those things when there's no Russell Westbrook, you know to play James Harden when there's no James Harden You know to play Russell Westbrook. This is as old as time it used to be Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook Now it's hard in Westbrook and in this season with four games without Russell Westbrook James Harden is supposed to use 48% the Rockets have an implied total over 120 years So there's no concerns from the odds makers about the absence of Russell Westbrook impacting their offensive efficiency This is one of those spots that you just got to plug in play James Harden and build your line-ups around them 48% usage rate for James Harden without Russell Westbrook in the lineup enough said Let's move over to Kawhi Leonard $9,800 going up against the Cleveland Cavaliers Similar to James Harden with no Russell Westbrook. There's no Paul George tonight for the Clippers Andrew, how does that affect Kawhi Leonard's output for tonight? Yeah without Paul George this season We've seen Kawhi Leonard's usage rate shoot up from 32% up to 36 and a half percent the assist rate up around 30% And that just signifies the balls in his hands a ton without Paul George They really spread the floor around him with shooters allow him to go one-on-one The matchup tonight with Cleveland is a really favorable one as well. They're a team that struggles defensively They're also team playing on the second night of a back-to-back. There are some blowout concerns But Kawhi has been playing deeper into blowouts of late There was a game last week that they lost by 26 that he still played 35 36 minutes and sat out the final four minutes of the game So they've been riding him heavily We've got him projected for 34 minutes a little bit lower than what he's been playing of late due to some blowout risk He still projects is the top power forward and it priced under 10,000 one of these stars that get you a little bit of Salary relief from the other studs We knew coming into this NBA season that so many teams were built around duos this season two pairs of stars on Respective teams whenever one of those stars is out you have to look to the other one It's the same thing with James Hardin as is Kawhi Leonard here tonight The last star that we'll be looking at is the Greek Freak Yanis onto de Kumpo hosting the New York Knicks $11,300 true I don't know if you've seen but the Knicks under Mike Miller have been a little bit more competitive They have and they'll need that to unlock Yanis is upside the challenge with projecting Yanis is he's one of these guys that Incompetitive games the minutes get up to 34 35 But in these blowouts, which Milwaukee is in plenty of they have one of the biggest point differentials in the league He's been at some time sag into the mid 20s And so that's the big concern tonight a lot of blowout risk with a big favorite at home But the small forward position is always a thin position and Yanis is is going to be really under owned compared to James Hardin And Kawhi Leonard, so if you want to be a little bit different in tournaments tonight Look to you on a centeno Kupo. He has the same upside of these guys It's just a little bit more minutes volatility, but it will come at way less ownership Very very sneaky that drew Dinkmeyer is looking at Yanis onto to Kumpo tonight And I have a little nugget for you here drew in the month of January The buck's margin of victory is just plus 6.7 whereas for the rest of the season that is that plus 12.29 So perhaps the Knicks could actually keep this game a little bit closer That's what we're hoping for to unlock that big upside from Yana Santeta Kumpo at much lower ownership than James Hardin Kawhi, so consider that move for tournaments. Let's go Knicks Hopefully they can keep this game closer tonight and unlock that potential that drew is talking about when it comes to Yanis onto to Kumpo Let's move over to our three values of the night We're really gonna focus on the Houston Rockets with no Russell Westbrook here start off with Daniel house just four thousand dollars going up Against the Memphis Grizzlies drew Daniel house has been inconsistent. Are you just taking the value here because there's no Russell Westbrook? Yeah 120 plus implied total we know James Hardin is gonna score a lot But he's not gonna score 120 so somebody else has to do the work here And the most likely guys to do it are gonna be the shooters that spread out the floor and get those opportunities a game against Memphis Also brings a lot of transition and Memphis is a team that will turn the ball over and give up those steals and blocks that can Really help elevate your fandal scores So with the price tag around four thousand for guys like Daniel house Eric Gordon Austin Rivers We'll talk a little bit about as well The someone from this group is going to have a good game and blow away that price tag And you want to have exposure to them both in you know primary lineups But also in tournament lineups if you're making a bunch you want to have Hardin with at least one of these secondary shooters Because someone's gonna get hot and then and boost that assist rate for James Hardin tonight If you want to pay up for the Hardin's the Yanis onto to kumpos and the kawaii Leonard tonight You got to find some value and the way to do that is in the Houston Rockets. We're looking at Daniel house at four thousand dollars Through you just mentioned the name Austin Rivers You want to get one of these Houston Rockets in there You think someone's going to get going someone's gonna get hot in this game Austin Rivers Minimum salary at just thirty five hundred dollars Do you think that you could play both Austin Rivers and Daniel house together is that a vital strategy? I think you could I think it's probably better to max one of these guys But you could certainly find a way that two of them because they're so cheap whether it's house Gordon or Rivers And those are the three that I consider most strongly You can find a way that two of them go up because they only need 20 to 25 fandal points to kind of make everything else Work they're relatively thin positions The point our position has lost a lot of kind of top-end value on this late with Luca priced way up Ricky Rubio is not gonna play tonight and his backup is a shooting guard option So point guard is one of these spots that it's a little bit easier to save that salary And that's why we think Austin Rivers is viable play at thirty five hundred You might not want to play both Daniel house and Austin Rivers But based on the value that they provide with their salaries being so low You're going to want to get one of Rivers or Daniel house in your lineups tonight Let's move over to a game that we haven't talked about at all yet today That is the Atlanta Hawks hosting the Phoenix Suns. Honestly, I wish Greg were here because he's from Maryland He loves to talk about his turps. We've got Kevin Herter here at forty eight hundred dollars going up against the Suns Drew Why do you like Kevin Herter tonight? Yeah, Herter has been playing really well of late And I thought there would be a little bit of additional upside and they hit an injury value But thoughts have already said trade young is gonna play tonight So if trade young was out there would have been an extra upside for Herter, but price below five thousand He's still good enough with trade young. He's been playing mid-thirties minutes routinely Phoenix is a team that defensively they're gonna take a step back tonight without Ricky Rubio most likely and those match-ups against like Devin Booker are pretty favorable ones from an offensive perspective for Kevin Herter So as long as you can stay out of foul trouble guarding Devin Booker We think the upside is there price below five thousand is really good tag And this is another one of these game environments that should be up tempo lots of points available It's certainly not one of the star studded ones that we have on the slate But it's one that you can certainly hunt for value and Kevin Herter fits that mold the upside for Kevin Herter might not be massive But he's been really consistent in his second season with the Atlanta Hawks So if you do need some value at that shooting guard position Kevin Herter at forty eight hundred dollars looks like a fine one to me Forger digmire. I am Frank Stamphill. Thank you so much for watching the fan do a hurry up and good Look on tonight's six game NBA DFS late
