Best Bargains

Patrick Beverley ($4,300) is a player to consider at the guard position. He’s shooting 42.9 percent from the field this season. He’s shooting 26-for-44 (59 percent) over his last six games. In a high-scoring game, Beverley should have success against the Pacers.

C.J. Miles ($4,600) should also be considered as a bargain player. He will be matched up against the worst team against small forwards this season. Miles scored 29.25 fantasy points in his last contest and should build off that success on Sunday.

Players To Sit

Isaiah Thomas ($7,500) shouldn’t be on many DraftKings teams because of his poor shooting performances. He’s shooting 18-for-55 (32.7 percent) over his last three games and is 2-for-15 from three-point range (13.3 percent). He’s coming off of a 20-fantasy point performance against the Bulls. It may be best to wait out Thomas until he finds his shooting touch back.

Kevin Love ($7,200) may not be the best play, despite the 76ers ranking last against power forwards. Noel has dominated love in the season series 39.8 FPPG to Love’s 27.6 FPPG. He’s averaging 31.2 FPPG over his last seven games, which is 5.5 fantasy points less than his season average.
