Sunday “fun-day” as I like to call it is upon us and what better way to end your weekend then a highly profitable daily fantasy night on whichever site tickles your fancy. As most of you are aware I am highly addicted to what our friends over at Fanduel have to offer, so as always this article will focus on top Fanduel NBA value picks. If you are not familiar with what dailyfantasysports.org has to offer in terms of NBA advice let me break it down for you. Each day consisting of five or more NBA games, your host Cschad44 will provide our readers with a breakdown of top Fanduel value picks at each position. That does not mean they are necessarily my top pick in terms of points scored, but which player provides you the reader with the most value based on his price. Again these are hardly a guarantee, but I think you will find a legitimate argument for my picks night in and night out. Well enough about me and more about you. Looking to get your hands on some serious guaranteed cash tonight? Check out some of the tournaments being offered over on Fanduel tonight.

POINT GUARD
Brandon Knight – Detroit Pistons – $5800: I am certainly not Knights biggest supporter, but in terms of “value picks” at the PG position he is your best option. Although he hasn’t been playing stellar basketball as of late, Knight is coming off one of his best performances of his young career scoring 39 FD points. He seems to be developing a nice chemistry with back court mate Rodney Stuckey who has been shooting lights out recently.
HONORABLE MENTION: None.
SHOOTING GUARD
Corey Brewer – Denver Nuggets – $5500: Brewer who was quietly putting up solid fantasy numbers last week exploded onto the season after his 33 FD points on Friday night. He has been a bit up and down with his production, but despite his inconsistency Brewer is averaging 25 FD points a night over his last four games. The most impressive stat for Brewer who is priced at just $5500 is his 33.8 minutes per game average, allowing him plenty of opportunity to provide daily fantasy owners with solid scoring nights.
HONORABLE MENTION: Carlos Delfino – Milwaukee Bucks ($5900)
SMALL FORWARD
Chandler Parsons – Houston Rockets – $5500: After a brief absence from our value picks list, Parsons recent play has earned him a second chance. Chandler is coming off back to back 20+ FD point nights, and actually led the Rockets in scoring on Friday night with 18 points. If you decide to utilize Parson’s services tonight do not expect the spectacular, but you have to like any player priced at $5500 who is averaging 36 minutes per game over his last three.
HONORABLE MENTION: Ersan Ilyasova – Milwaukee Bucks ($6300) & Corey Maggette – Charlotte Bobcats ($5700)
POWER FORWARD
Kenneth Faried – Denver Nuggets – $4400: Faried has now scored double digits in each of his last three games while also chipping in 7 rebounds per. He is coming off a 33 FD point night in just 25 minutes of action. Even if Faried provides daily fantasy players with 15-20 FD points, you are getting great value for only $4400. There are very few “value” picks left at the PF position this season, but Faried is quietly establishing himself as a legitimate option for as long as he remains under 5k.
HONORABLE MENTION: Markieff Morris – Phoenix Suns ($5600)
CENTER
Nikola Pekovic – Minnesota Timberwolves – $6600: Despite his price being a bit higher than most of our normal value picks, Pekovic retains excellent value at only $6600. The man in the middle for Minnesota is riding a four game double double streak. In his most recent game, Pekovic posted 30 points and 12 rebounds, totaling 49 FD points when all said and done. He has solidified his role as the starting center for the T-Wolves and shows no signs of giving up that title anytime soon.
HONORABLE MENTION: Semih Erden – Cleveland Cavaliers ($4200)

couple of questions…At the point guard spot what do you think about D.J. Augustin as a value pick? And the other question is if you had to choose between Danny Granger and Andre Iguoadala who would you choose ( I know they aren’t value picks)?
I like DJ Augustin but want to see him put together a few consistent performances before I give him my full recommendation. To answer your second question, I like Igoudala tonight over Granger.
would you take Alonzo Gee or Reggie Wiiliams?
Tough call Chris, but I think Gee has the better match up tonight.
