Guards

Jason Terry – $3000

Look, if you want to anchor your lineup with Anthony Davis that’s fine but you also have to find super cheap bargains along the way. Terry could be exactly what you need. Patrick Beverley is listed as questionable heading into tonight’s game with an elbow injury. If Patrick is labeled OUT, Jason makes for a solid play at this price.

Tyler Ennis – $3500

Ennis only gets a recommendation if MCW is inactive. Ennis dished out 11 assists in the game that Carter-Williams missed and could get another shot tonight. The only other wrench in the “Ennis for stardom on Tuesday night” train, would be the return of Jerryd Bayless. Bayless was able to practice on Monday. If he returns, Ennis will go back to a reserve roll and Bayless could be the better daily play tonight. 

Reggie Jackson – $5500

Reggie was downright awful in his last game with 5 turnovers and zero assists but today is a new day and his price keeps dwindling. He should be in line for bounce-back performance. With Monroe missing the game, Jackson may take it upon himself to do more on the offensive side of the ball. 

Alexey Shved – $6500

Shved should continue his hot streak against the Spurs tonight. San Antonio has given up the 10th most points to opposing PGs over their last 5 games. Tony Parker may be getting it done on the offensive side of the ball but he’s also slipping on the defense.

Elfrid Payton – $7100

With Evan Fournier OUT again, Payton will again be called upon to do the damage at PG. He’s been very good and should have ample opportunity against the high flying Rockets. In his last start, Payton finished just one rebound shy of a triple-double.  

My top star pick (if you have the cap room): James Harden ($9900)

My top mid pick with upside (but could disappoint): Victor Oladipo ($7600)

Forwards

Anthony Tolliver – $3900

It’s already being reported that Greg Monroe will miss Tuesday’s game for the Pistons which leaves Tolliver as his likely replacement. This doesn’t mean he will do a whole lot with the minutes he receives but he could be a nice bet to get you 20+ points.

Tayshaun Prince – $4700

I might just take a chance on this wily veteran tonight. For the same reason that I have highlighted Tolliver, Prince might get a few more minutes and could put it on himself to do just a bit more than usual on offense. If he is on his game, he could fill the stat sheet and go over 20 fantasy points easy.

Ersan Ilyasova – $5800

Ersan tends to get himself into foul trouble which makes him a big gamble but if he manages to play 30+ minutes, he can rack up a double-double easy. Buyer beware but at that price, he could be worth it. 

Trevor Ariza – $6800

Ariza has the potential to put up huge numbers on any given night but then also can put up under 10 points with just a few rebounds and assists. The wide margin of range is what makes Ariza so hard to play. But tonight, he faces a not-so-stiff Orlando Magic who have given up the 7th most points to opposing forwards over their last five. 

My top star pick (if you have the cap room): Anthony Davis ($12300)

My top mid pick with upside: Zach Randolph ($7700)

Centers

Zaza Pachulia – $5200

Zaza has been getting it done over his last three games totaling 40 points, 38 rebounds and 9 assists. For a lower-tiered price tag, you could easily see your investment pay off. 

Marc Gasol – $7800

That’s not a cheap number but with the Pistons playing without Monroe, you have to like the big mans chances of doing even more damage tonight. One thing to keep in mind, coming down the stretch, Gasol and other Memphis starters may get the dreaded DNP during these back-to-back contests. Make sure to check before tip-off. If he sits, I would highly recommend Kosta Koufos ($3700).

My top star pick (if you have the cap room): Andre Drummond ($8700)

My top mid picks with upside (but could disappoint): Cole Aldrich ($5300)
