Best Bargains

Brandon Jennings ($4,000) should be a bargain in Tuesday night’s DraftKings action. He’s averaging 7.2 FPPG better at home than on the road. He’s an electric scorer and has gotten better at moving the ball under head coach Stan Van Gundy and should provide good value in reserve minutes.

David West ($4,200) has been playing very well lately. He’s averaging 26.3 FPPG over his last three games. Matched up against Ersan Ilyasova and Anthony Tolliver of the Pistons, West should provide good value, despite Detroit ranking fourth against power forwards.

Players To Sit

Jrue Holiday ($6,000) should not be drafted by DraftKings players on Tuesday. He has been inconsistent over his past eight games, averaging 29.2 FPPG. Though it’s above his season average, he had a 50-plus fantasy point performance that is an outlier. Holiday is also a scorer and hasn’t been assisting or rebounding consistently.

Andre Drummond ($8,800) should be a player to skip out of DraftKings lineups on Tuesday night. He has struggled in his last six games, averaging 37.6 FPPG in that span. Drummond will score, but it may not be a great return on investment for his high price tag.
