C.J. Miles provides close to a 1:1 ratio of fantasy points to minutes played
Welcome FantasyPro readers, Geoff Lambert of GoingFor2.com here to bring you my FanDuel value plays for Saturday the 19th. We have a nice five-game slate today, which, in my opinion, five to six is the perfect amount of games. Sometimes those huge 12-game days are just a bit too overwhelming, whereas a five-game slate offers just enough value plays and studs to build a well-rounded lineup. Let’s jump right in…
FanDuel currently does not have contests that include all five games. I will include values from all five games, but some players may not be available in all contests.

Point Guard
Patrick Beverley – Rockets $4,300
Perpetual value play Beverly, once again, makes this list. He isn’t flashy and he has very limited upside, but at $4,200 he won’t hurt you with a bad game, as he is fairly consistent.
Shooting Guard
Lou Williams – Lakers $5,200 (early-only)
One of the few bright spots on a bad Lakers team, Lou Will now has nine straight double-digit real-life scoring efforts, which includes four straight with 24 or more FanDuel points. Expect the OKC Thunder to blow the Lakers out, so Willaims will see some junk-time points.
Courtney Lee – Grizzlies $4,300
Lee did not have a good game last night in Dallas, but he is still getting big minutes and has shown he is capable of putting up 30-plus fantasy points. The Pacers are struggling to defend the shooting guard position, ranking third-worst in the league this season.
Small Forward
Kelly Oubre – Wizards $3,600
Oubre is only viable if Otto Porter is forced to miss this game. The Wizards rookie received 25 minutes the last game after Porter exited early with a thigh injury. In those 25 minutes he was able to post 21 FanDuel points, which, at $3,600, you will take any day of the week.
C.J. Miles – Pacers $5,400
Whether or not Miles starts is irrelevant as he will still receive his 25-plus minutes. He fairly consistently puts up 25-plus fantasy points. Any time a player has close to a 1:1 ratio in minutes to fantasy points, as Miles does, he will always be a good play.
Power Forward
Frank Kaminsky – Hornets $3,900
Kaminsky is a true punt option here, but ever since he started to see extra playing time in the 20’s he has started to produce. His production isn’t going to win you any FanDuel contests, but his price tag will allow you to pay up for a stud — and that may help you win your FanDuel contest.
Marvin Williams – Hornets $5,000
He is on the list nearly every time he plays. I have nothing else to say about him. Until his price tag approaches $6,000, he will continue to be here.
Center
Ian Mahinmi – Pacers $5,300
Not a lot in the way of value centers tonight, so Mahinmi it is. If he can just find a way to stay out of foul trouble so that he can stay on the floor, he could be a great fantasy option. He flirts with low-end double-doubles more often than not and his price tag won’t hurt you.
