TOP GUARDS

 

Max Abmas (Oral Roberts) – Opp @TCU ($8.3K DK)

The Golden Eagles are first nationally with 13.6 three-pointers per game. Abmas has hit a team-high 25 threes and has made or assisted on 42% of all Oral Roberts field goals over the last three games. He won’t come cheap, but Abmas is the top overall play at guard with 29.7% usage, 22.3 points and 33.9 DKFP a game. 

 

Darius McGhee (Liberty) – Opp MIZZ ($7.6K DK/7.3K FD)

McGhee is a star. Averaging a career best 18.3 points per game the reigning ASUN Conference Player of the Year is smashing. With a usage rate over 30% (33.8) and playing over 30 minutes imagine the numbers he will put up once his threes start falling (28.6% beyond arc compared to 40% last year).

 

Mike Miles Jr (TCU) – Opp ORR ($7.8K DK)

Sophomore Miles Jr. has adjusted just fine to his new role as the go-to guy at TCU. Before his last game where he only put up 18.5 DKFP against Austin Peay, Miles has had over 25 fantasy points every game this season. If you can’t get to Abmas at $8.3K tonight Miles is just as strong as a play a few dollars cheaper with his 30.6% usage and 16 point per game average.

 

Other Top Guards To Consider:

  • Jordan Shepherd (CAL) $7.0K DK/7.3K FD
  • Micah Peavy (TCU) $6.3K DK

 

TOP VALUE GUARDS

 

Dashawn Davis (Oregon State) – Opp @CAL ($5.6K DK/4.5K FD)

Davis has now started three straight games and is the team leader is assists (3.3 per game) and steals (1.0 per game). The freshman is a hit or miss play since he has 30+ fantasy point games in two of his last four- 32.0 against Princeton and 34.0 against Samford, the problem is that in the other two games he has 9.3 DKFP and 7.5 DKFP against Penn State and Wake Forest, 

 

Keegan McDowell G/F (Liberty) – Opp MIZZ ($4.0K DK/5.8K FD)

Finally starting to get hot after a dismal start to season. McDowell is averaging 16.5 points, 3.5 rebounds and 2.0 assists over his last two games with a 26 DKFP average, He is shooting 50% from beyond the arc on the season and with some new confidence this could be a big game for the senior- top guard value but just know he is boom or bust.

 

Other Value Guards To Consider:

  • Isaac McBride (ORR) $3.6K DK
  • Carlos Jurgens (ORR) $4.9K DK
  • Javon Pickett (MIZZ) $4.3K DK/4.8K FD

 

TOP FORWARDS

 

Kobe Brown (Missouri) – Opp @LIB ($7.5K DK/7.3K FD)

Brown has been Missouri’s best player since the season started. He’s coming off a 20 point/20 rebound performance and has made an incredible jump from last season. He’s doubled his scoring output (15.4 points), his 2.9 assists per game are second highest on the team and his 9.6 rebounds are three more than his 6.2 average last year. 

 

Andre Kelly (California) – Opp @ORST ($7.4K DK/8.1K FD)

Cal opens their Pac-12 schedule tonight and senior forward Kelly has been the straw that stirs the drink for the Bears. He leads the team in scoring (16.1) and rebounding (9.1) and has three double-doubles. He is also the only player ranked among the top in the Pac-12 in both scoring (fifth) and rebounding (third). Great matchup here for Kelly against a bad Oregon State defense (124th in defensive efficiency).

 

Grant Anticevich (California) – Opp @ORST ($5.5K DK/$5.4K FD)

Anticevich is a top value on Fan Duel tonight. It seems like he’s been at Cal forever and has turned around a slow start to the season. Over the last two games he is averaging 14 points, 5.0 rebounds and 1.5 assists and now faces a weak Oregon State defense. Note that transfer guard and #2 scorer Jordan Shepherd is playing through a sprained thumb on his shooting hand which may mean a few extra offensives looks for Anticevich.

 

Other Top Forwards To Consider:

  • Emanuel Miller (TCU) $8.5K DK
  • Warith Alatishe (ORST) $7.7K DK/6.6K FD
  • Maurice Calloo (ORST) $6.3K DK/4.4K FD

 

TOP VALUE FORWARD

 

Deshang Weaver (Oral Roberts) – Opp @TCU ($3.8K DK)

Weaver’s fantasy production took a hit at the start of the season due to some blowouts but just look at his last two games- 13 points and six rebounds against Tulsa (28.5 DKFP) and 20 points and seven rebounds against Oklahoma State (39.3 DKFP). He is a senior starter that should play 30 minutes tonight and DraftKings has priced him at a dirt cheap $3.8K. Just lock Weaver in as the top forward value.

 

Other Value Forwards To Consider:

  • Keegan McDowell G/F (LIB) $4.0K DK/5.8K FD
  • Francis Lacis (ORR) $4.9K DK
  • JaKobe Coles (TCU) $3.3K DK
  • Blake Preston (LIB) $4.1K DK/4.8K FD
