Sunday, we’ve got a slate that screams “Stars and Scrubs” as there are some really solid value plays tonight, along with a handful of the highest FP PPG Average Players on the Slate. Check out the article below from our Friends at Fanduel Insider for a quick preview of tonight’s slate.
**POINT GUARD**
RUSSELL WESTBROOK – Oklahoma City Thunder – $10,400
–Averaging 49.52 FDPs, the highest in today’s player pool.
— Averaging 36.5 FDPs against today’s opponent, the Miami Heat.
— With starter Goran Dragic injured, Miami will try to stop Westbrook with their two back-up point guards, Beno Udrih and Tyler Johnson.
TONY PARKER – San Antonio Spurs – $6,100
— Over his last three games, Parker is averaging 30.43 FanDuel points, second-highest in today’s player pool amongst point guards.
— Averaging 36.6 FDPs against today’s opponent, the Dallas Mavericks.
— Has played 30-plus minutes in three of his last four games, and playing time is always a concern with the Spurs.
SHOOTING GUARD

— Even though he’s slumping, he still produces more FDPs than any of today’s shooting guards, with a season average of 44.5.

POWER FORWARD
CLINT CAPELA – Houston Rockets – $4,600

DARRELL ARTHUR – Denver Nuggets – $4,300
— Over the last two weeks, he’s performed well as Denver’s starting forward/center.

— With a banged-up Denver front line, Arthur should see plenty of minutes against the Pacers.
CENTER
STEVEN ADAMS – Oklahoma City Thunder – $4,300
