Point Guards:

Bargain:

Luke Ridnour, Magic (4 million): Elfrid Payton’s struggles shooting the ball led to Ridnour playing the entire second and fourth quarters on Wednesday. So long as Payton continues to struggle, look for Ridnour to play upwards of 20 minutes per game. For a guy at four million, that is a steal.

Worth The Cost:

Reggie Jackson, Thunder (8.1 million): Jackson has scored more than 30 fantasy points every game since Russell Westbrook went down. That’s consistency, folks.

Overpriced:

Tony Wroten, 76ers (7.6 million): Michael Carter-Williams made his debut last night, and it was not pretty for Wroten. He still played 25 minutes, but his production was way down. He managed only 13.8 points, which is not nearly enough for his price.

My Lineup:

Ridnour and Jrue Holliday (11.2 million): I love Holliday’s matchup against the Rubio-less Timberwolves.

Nov 6, 2014; Houston, TX, USA; Houston Rockets guard James Harden (13) drives to the basket during the third quarter against the San Antonio Spurs at Toyota Center. The Rockets defeated the Spurs 98-81. Mandatory Credit: Troy Taormina-USA TODAY Sports

Shooting Guards:

Bargain:

Evan Fournier, Magic (5.6 million): Not only has Fournier taken over at SG while Victor Oladipo is out, he has also taken on some of the ball-handling duties, which should up his assists as well. He might be the biggest steal in the game!

Worth The Cost:

James Harden, Rockets (10.2 million): He is the high scoring SG in FanDuel this season. The only thing that might make me hesitate a bit is that the Rockets are playing the 76ers who got thrashed by the Mavs last night. Harden might only play three quarters, so Kobe Bryant might be the safer play for those of you looking to spend big.

Overpriced:

Eric Bledsoe, Suns (6.7 million): He is struggling to find an identity in a crowded backcourt right now. Don’t play him until he figures things out.

My Lineup:

Fournier and Iman Shumpert (11 million): Shumpert is seeing a nice run with the Knicks. As long as that continues, he is a great low price option.

Nov 10, 2014; Cleveland, OH, USA; Cleveland Cavaliers forward LeBron James (23) during the fourth quarter against the New Orleans Pelicans at Quicken Loans Arena. The Cavaliers beat the Pelicans 118-111. Mandatory Credit: Ken Blaze-USA TODAY Sports

Small Forwards:

Bargain:

Solomon Hill, Pacers (5.1 million): He has not played less than 37 minutes in the last five games. As long as he is on the court that much, that gives him plenty of chances to put up points.

Worth The Cost:

LeBron James, Cavaliers (10.2 million): He has had a couple of clunkers since his return home. So why am I not worried? LBJ watched some Sesame Street recently and learned how to share. He has 21 assists in his last two games, and is still putting up huge numbers everywhere else. He is a triple-double threat every time he takes the court so long as he continues the unselfish play.

Overpriced:

Luol Deng, Heat (6.7 million): Deng has struggled with injuries and inconsistency since arriving in Miami. Stay away until he is healthy and playing like his former self.

My Lineup:

Hill and Trevor Ariza (11.4 million): Ariza will get plenty of open looks against the Sixers, which could lead to a huge night tonight.

Oct 31, 2014; Phoenix, AZ, USA; Phoenix Suns forward Markieff Morris (11) runs up the court against the San Antonio Spurs in the second half at US Airways Center. The Suns won 94 – 89. Mandatory Credit: Jennifer Stewart-USA TODAY Sports

Power Forwards:

Bargain:

Markieff Morris, Suns (6.5 million): His clunker against the Warriors on Sunday will scare some away, but he has been very consistent other than that game. His matchup against Charlotte is a pretty good one too.

Worth The Cost:

Anthony Davis, Pelicans (11.6 million): He is averaging 55.6 points per game in FanDuel. That is a ridiculous number, and by far the best of anyone this year. Oh, and he is showing no signs of slowing down.

Overpriced:

Serge Ibaka, Thunder (7.8 million): Ibaka has not topped 40 fantasy points in over a week now. Stay away until he gets back on track.

My Lineup:

Davis and Tim Duncan (19.6 million): Duncan has missed a double-double just once in the last seven games he has played. And he has a very favorable matchup against the Lakers.

Oct 31, 2014; Indianapolis, IN, USA; During player introductions to commemorate Halloween, Indiana Pacers center Roy Hibbert (55) is portrayed as a marquis for a scary movie on the large video screen before the Memphis Grizzlies play against the Indiana Pacers at Bankers Life Fieldhouse.

Center:

Bargain:

Roy Hibbert, Pacers (6.7 million): Hibbert has been a monster this season, and is an absolute steal at this price.

Worth The Cost:

Nikola Vucevic, Magic (8.7 million):Vucevic has been on quite a roll lately. His average is just a shade below Dwight Howard, who is nearly a million more.

Overpriced:

Andre Drummond, Pistons (7.4 million): He has just 29 points combined in his last two games. Now he gets to take on Serge Ibaka and the Thunder. Don’t trust Drummond until he turns this around.

My Lineup:

Hibbert (6.7 million)
