NBA – Value Index – Wednesday, Dec. 4

Sophomore stars look like slam dunks on 10-game slate

We have a full 10-game slate of action with some injury news to wait on for tonight’s slate on DraftKings.

Memphis and Chicago looks to be one of the better games for fantasy production in tournaments, but with no Ja Morant and waiting on news for Jonas Valanciunas, guys like Jaren Jackson Jr. will either be fringe tournament plays, or stellar cash game plays with whatever way that news breaks.

We also have LeBron and Brow, Mavs coming off an easy win on a back-to-back, the Hawks and Nets in another possibly huge game for fantasy goodness. De’Andre Hunter in that game is likely out and Kevin Huerter might return, so that news also will affect value on this slate.

So for the Index today, we have some of the big names on our list, and to see who those big names are, you are gonna need to go behind the paywall and subscribe or sign up for a 7-day free trial!

Good luck today!

Khris Middleton – SG – Milwaukee Bucks – $6,100

Analysis: We have a $7K-plus player mispriced on this slate against a team coming off of a back-to-back in the Detroit Pistons. The Pistons didn’t have to extend themselves last night, so I am hopeful they will be competitive enough to contend with the Bucks so that Middleton can get a full complement of minutes. That’s the drawback to this play. If Milwaukee gets up big, Middleton’s minutes will be yanked. He’s back in the starting lineup, so that suggests that he’s ready to play a full game. However, the leash will be short if we have a blowout. Regardless, this price is super cheap and we want to be ahead of the increase in price, which is going to happen eventually.
