Wednesday usually sees a busy main slate, and tonight is no exception with 10 games. There are five active players with a salary over $10K. In order to get them in lineups, I’m digging into some value plays, as well as listing some higher-end players who still represent a good value for their price.
Arguably the biggest development this week is Anthony Davis’ finger injury, which will see him out two-to-four weeks if it is confirmed to be a fracture. Also, the Raptors are resting Kawhi Leonard tonight.
Just like every week, I keep the combined salaries of recommended players below FanDuel’s $60K budget to provide the flexibility to adjust lineups. This week, there’s a generous $6,000 left over for upgrades. I’ve avoided the top, and therefore obvious players, but at least one needs to be in each lineup. Combine the suggestions below with elite plays for a winning lineup.

Point Guard
Kyle Lowry (TOR): $7,500 @ IND
Lowry has averaged 14.2 points, 5.8 rebounds, 7.8 assists, 0.8 blocks, and 1.2 steals over his last four games. Pay attention to the Raptors’ lineup, as there’s still a chance he rests on Wednesday for the second game of a back-to-back. He is currently set to play, and with Leonard resting, it’s hard to imagine Lowry also sitting. In fact, he could be in line for an increased workload on Wednesday before likely resting Friday.
