FOX SPORTS: NBA $30K THURSDAY BEST BUYS
By Phil Prior (@phil_prior)
CLEVELAND’S decision to head to Memphis without its big 3 causes DFS chaos.
James, Irving and Love’s absence on the Thursday slate opens up a tonne of value.
It will affect where the Draftstars’ $30K GPP prizemoney will end up.
Welcome to the Best Buys.

POINT GUARD/SHOOTING GUARD
DeAndre Liggins, CLE ($5,000 SG/SF) @ MEM
Will see a huge bump in usage and minutes without the big three running the show.
Terry Rozier, BOS ($5,000 PG) @ SA
With no Isaiah, Terry’s your player.
Also in play:
Tony Allen, MEM ($7,300 SG/SF) v CLE
DJ Augustin, ORL (6,750 PG) v LAC
JR Smith, CLE ($7,350 SG/SF) @ MEM
SMALL FORWARD
Wayne Ellington, MIA ($5,650 SG/SF) v IND
It’s been the same story all week. Ellington’s getting court time and opportunity with a number of Heat stars still in the casualty ward.
Omri Casspi, SAC ($6,100 SF/PF) @ HOU
A viable option if Rudy Gay doesn’t suit up.
Iman Shumpert, CLE ($5,850 SG/SF) @ MEM
One of the safest and best value plays on the slate.
Also in play:
James Jones, CLE ($5,000 SG/SF) @ MEM
Richard Jefferson, CLE ($5,000 SG/SF) @ MEM
POWER FORWARD/CENTRE
James Johnson, MIA ($6,450 SF/PF) v IND
Returning from a shoulder injury, Johnson finds himself in a favourable situation, with the Heat’s stocks still depleted.
Brook Lopez, BKN ($12,300 C) v LAL
Book in Brook. He’s a very good player, taking on a substandard defensive frontcourt.
Also in play:
Marcin Gortat, WAS ($11,700 C) v CHA
Salah Mejri, DAL ($5,000 C) v DET
Channing Frye, CLE ($7,150 PF/C) @ MEM
