NBA Recap and Picks for Today

One Site Fantasy Value Challenge

We are going to start holding a nightly competition where we will pick a price range: $5-10k, $10-15k, $15-20k+ and you can tweet us your pick. We will only pick one price range per day to keep it interesting and mix it up. Whoever picks the one player who scores the highest value for that night wins, and we will start keeping records of your cumulative average value. Today's price range will be $10-15k

Value Challenge Price Range: Draft Street Price (Fan Duel Price for Informative Purposes Only in Parentheses)

$15-20K+: 17,101: 7,700 

Marc Gasol- Is at home vs. the Sacramento Kings, 8ET. Not rocket science, same reasons Gay and Blair are/were attractive. There is no true center on the Kings which should cause matchup problems which will help both Gay and Gasol. Expect Gasol to score 34-39 fantasy points.

$10-15K: 13,098-13,908: 7,400-7400

Rudy Gay- Is at home vs. the Sacramento Kings, 8ET. The Kings are 28th in defense efficiency, 28th in rebounding, and 24th in rebounds, and 30th in FG% against. For the same reasons DeJuan Blair was a pick last night Gay is tonight. Expect Gay to score 26-31 fantasy points. Gay is our Fantasy Value Challenge Pick of the Day.

Joe Johnson- Is at home vs. the Cleveland Cavaliers, 7:30ET. Johnson is a solid pick every night, especially tonight causing matchup problems for the Cavaliers. Expect Johnson to score 26-31 fantasy points tonight.

$5-10K: 5,510: 4,800

C.J. Watson- Is at home vs. the Charlotte Bobcats, 8ET. As long as Derrick Rose is out C.J. Watson is the hottest pick in fantasy basketball scoring 26+ FPPG the last 3 games and with Rose's turf toe expect the Bulls to rest him for as long as possible.
