Top 5 NBA FanDuel Bargains For Dec. 2

Unlike last night's tiny four-game slate, we have a legitimate full night of NBA action for Dec. 2 with 10 games. This means that there is a plethora of great value players who can be rostered for under $ 6000. It's the kind of night where fitting any one or two superstars of choice into your lineups is possible without sacrificing too much potential production. Let's take a look at the top five NBA bargain plays on FanDuel for Dec. 2.

5. (PG) Greivis Vasquez - Toronto Raptors - $3900

With All-Star DeMar DeRozan sidelined for at least a month, there will be some Toronto Raptors guards set to reap the benefits from his absence. One of them is Greivis Vasquez, who started in their last game against the Los Angeles Lakers and scored 28.5 fantasy points. He only needs to score 19.5 to justify his price against a Sacramento Kings team ranked 22nd against PGs. Therefore, Vasquez is the best bargain play at PG tonight.

4. (SG) Louis Williams - Toronto Raptors - $4700

I have a quick and easy recommendation for NBA FanDuel players out there. Keep selecting Williams until his price raises about 15 to 20 percent from its current value. His price indicates that he needs 23.5 fantasy points to reach value, but he's actually been averaging 29.3 over his past six games. He also benefits from the absence of DeRozan and, facing a Sacramento Kings team ranked 22nd against SGs, it's time to fire up Sweet Lou once again.

3. (SF) Harrison Barnes - Golden State Warriors - $4900

Over his last five games, this former North Carolina Tar Heel has averaged just around 21 fantasy points per game. This average is slightly below the score he would need, which is 24.5, to justify his value. Barnes has an excellent opportunity to significantly exceed his value against the Orlando Magic tonight as they are ranked 29th against opposing SFs. This bodes well for him to exceed 30 fantasy points for the first time since Nov. 21.

2. (PF) Ersan Ilyasova - Milwaukee Bucks - $4500

Since Nov. 18, Ilyasova has been quite productive and exceeding the value of his price on most nights. Over his last eight games, he has averaged 24.8 fantasy points per game which exceeds the 22.5 points he needs to justify his price. Facing a Cleveland Cavaliers team that's ranked 21st in defending PFs, Ilyasova should at least reach value and score anywhere between 23-33 fantasy points tonight.

1. (C) Robin Lopez - Portland Trail Blazers - $5900

The twin brother of Brooklyn Nets center, Brook Lopez, can either get you 15 or 35 fantasy points on any given night. He is a very solid player, but his performances don't always equate to fantasy goodness in the final box score. However, facing a Denver Nuggets team that's ranked 25th against opposing centers should have him produce 28-32 fantasy points tonight. It also helps that Denver is playing the second game of a back-to-back stretch.
