PG - Ishmael Smith - Philadelphia 76ers - $6,500

The Philadelphia 76ers are riddled with injuries currently and need as much scoring from point guard Ishmael Smith as possible. Expect to get your money's worth from Smith against John Wall and the Washington Wizards, who rank 15th against the position.

PG - Shelvin Mack - Utah Jazz - $5,500

Shelvin Mack has flourished for the Utah Jazz since they acquired him from the Atlanta Hawks. Mack went from receiving limited playing time in Atlanta to starting in Utah, and he's taken full advantage. Expect Mack to reach 5x value without much of a struggle against the lowly Phoenix Suns.

DeMar DeRozan crushed the hearts of many FanDuel aficionados on Tuesday night, as he was shockingly held out of action (rest) after lineups locked. However, it's important to let that hurt go, as he projects to have a big evening against Monta Ellis and the Indiana Pacers.

Lance Stephenson dropped 24 points, 11 rebounds and seven assists all over the Minnesota Timberwolves on Wednesday. Stephenson should play around 30 minutes again this evening against Milwaukee, which makes him impossible to ignore priced at just $5,600.

SF - Kawhi Leonard - San Antonio Spurs - $8,900

Kawhi Leonard has scored 20 or more points in nine of his last 10 games and continues to add solid secondary and tertiary statistical production. His matchup with the Portland Trail Blazers isn't perfect (on paper), considering they rank sixth against the wing, but I firmly believe this is irrelevant, as he's essentially been matchup proof all season.

I'm not in love with playing Joe Johnson against the Charlotte Hornets this evening, but there are no better options in this price range, so he will have to suffice. As long as he's over 20 fantasy points, he's done what is needed of him.

Marvin Williams has scored 22 or more points in three of his last four games, and he's been hitting value more often than not this season. Expect Williams to get the best of Miami's Luol Deng this evening.

Injuries to Robert Covington, Jerami Grant and Jahlil Okafor have opened up minutes for Carl Landry, as every healthy member of the Philadelphia 76ers has received increased tick. We just need around 20 fantasy points from Landry, which shouldn't be too tough of a chore against the Washington Wizards.

The Chicago Bulls are ranked 27th against centers and will be without Pau Gasol this evening. This sets Brook Lopez up for one of his patented 45-plus fantasy point outings. Don't miss out.
