Martin Luther King Jr. Day brings us a rare split slate of NBA action on Monday. This article will focus on the four-game night(main) slate on FanDuel that includes the marquee matchup between the Warriors and Cavaliers. In a game with a high 231 Vegas total, you will want to be sure to get some exposure to that game but there is also another matchup on the night slate that has caught my eye where we can find a variety of value options in another potentially high scoring affair.

Note that some of the stats referenced in this article are my custom DvP calculations that combine both season and last five games data along with blending similar positions production allowed together.

Point Guard

Stephen Curry (GS): $10,200 @ CLE
Stephen Curry has been in and out of the lineup recently but when he has been on the court he has been on fire shooting over 56% from the field and 50% from three-point range while averaging 33.3 points, 5.7 rebounds and 6.2 assists over his last six games. Curry should be in the lineup on Monday night in a Finals rematch with the Cavaliers who have allowed the ninth most FanDuel points to opposing PGs this season.

Isaiah Thomas (CLE): $5,500 vs GS
Using Isaiah Thomas right now is risky. He is still working his way back from injury which means his minutes are still working their way up and he sits out on occasion. He should be well rested for this one with his last game coming last Thursday and he did increase to 24 minutes played in that game. I expect him to rise up to maybe 28 minutes on Monday in a big game which should be enough for him to hit 5x his value with a low $5,500 salary. If you don’t have the stomach to roster a minutes-limit PG then look to pivot to Darren Collison ($5,300).
