Raymond Felton is a cheap option who has been receiving ample playing time lately

Welcome to the Monday edition of the NBA FanDuel value plays. This article will focus on the nine-game main slate on FanDuel.Be sure to stay up to date with lineup news throughout the day in case any surprise value options pop up. Let’s go ahead and take a look at my favorite value options for tonight.

Point Guard

Raymond Felton (LAC): $4,900 at ATL
Chris Paul will continue to be out for awhile, so Austin Rivers and Raymond Felton will continue to soak up heavy minutes. Both are in play tonight, but I prefer targeting Felton at $500 less. On Saturday night, Doc Rivers elected to have Felton play off of the bench since he believed that it would be better to play bigger with Denver. 

Regardless if Felton plays off of the bench or starts alongside Rivers, he should still see around 30 minutes, and his matchup is pretty solid against the Hawks, who have struggled against opposing backcourt players this season.

Patty Mills (SAS): $3,600 at BKN
Tony Parker is expected to miss another game tonight, and even though Dejounte Murray started over Patty Mills on Saturday night, Mills still saw 31 minutes and put up 24.1 FanDuel points. The same should occur tonight, and the matchup could not be any better as the Nets have allowed the most FanDuel points to opposing point guards this season.

Shooting Guard

Dejounte Murray (SAS): $3,800 at BKN
I already mentioned how Murray got the start over Mills on Saturday night and if the same thing occurs tonight, you can count on both players as being premium value options on this slate. Murray has been solid over his past two games with 23.4 and 30.4 FanDuel points. Even though this matchup is likely to end in a huge blowout in favor of the Spurs, both Mills and Murray should be able to exceed value at these low salaries.

Sean Kilpatrick (BKN): $4,100 vs. SAS
On the opposite side of the previously mentioned matchup, Sean Kilpatrick could be a sneaky option to use tonight. Both Jeremy Lin and Joe Harris have already been ruled out tonight. 

Despite the matchup, Kilpatrick should see all of the minutes that he can handle. Since there is a good chance this game ends in a blowout, I probably would not trust him in cash games, but he does have some solid upside potential for GPP contests tonight.

Small Forward

Joe Ingles (UTA): $3,900 vs. OKC
Joe Ingles has been filling in for the injured Rodney Hood, and he has not disappointed with at least 23 FanDuel points in each of his three starts. His upside may be capped a little bit tonight since his individual matchup is not great, but he should still at least reach value at this salary since he has been playing around 35 minutes in each of his three starts.

Marcus Morris (DET): $5,400 vs. SAC
Marcus Morris has seen a huge usage bump recently, and it has translated to 36.3, 36.5 and 43.7 FanDuel points in his last three games. The Kings have lost Rudy Gay for the rest of the season, so their defense will take a hit. Morris should be able to take advantage of this and should have no issues exceeding value tonight.

Power Forward

David Lee (SA): $5,100 at BKN
Another value option from the Spurs who you could use tonight is David Lee. Lee has been starting for the injured Pau Gasol and has been solid in his two starts with 36.2 and 32.7 FanDuel points. Just like with the backcourt, the Nets have been horrendous against opposing centers allowing the second most FanDuel points.

Thaddeus Young (IND): $5,700 vs. NYK
Thaddeus Young has been a very consistent cash game option this season and has scored at least 33 FanDuel points in three of his last four games. Tonight he has a solid matchup against the Knicks who have been one of the worst teams against opposing power forwards this season.

Center

Marcin Gortat (WAS): $5,700 at CHA
Another player who has been a solid and consistent cash game option this season is Marcin Gortat. For the season Gortat has averaged 28.85 FanDuel points per game and tonight he has an excellent matchup against Cody Zeller and the Hornets, who have been one of the worst teams in the NBA at defending opposing big men.
