Daily NBA Discussion (March 07, 2015)

Hey daily fantasy nerds,

Here are some articles detailing the top plays by floor and ceiling stats for FanDuel and Draftkings:

Here are some of my favorite plays:

Kenneth Faried has had 3 straight double doubles and interim coach Melvin Hunt seems to be happy letting the Manimal get back to business. Faried's pricing hasn't caught up with his recent production and he gets to match up with the Rockets next. The Rockets lack a true rim protector and Terrence Jones is nursing an ailing back as well as a new hip injury which may slow him down. The Manimal's energy should cause trouble for the Rockets' front court all night long and I love him as a GPP play.

Ersan Ilyasova is priced at a discount and has seen over 30 minutes of playing time in 3 straight games. He's relied on for his ability to score while stretching the floor as evidenced by 4 straight games with at least 10 field goal attempts. Ilyasova has a tough match up against the Wizards, but his price, playing time, and role in the offense make him a solid option.

James Harden showed Russell Westbrook that he’s not the only triple double threat in the league by notching 38 points, 12 rebounds and 12 assists against the Pistons in an impressive performance. He’ll look to continue his strong play against the resurgent Nuggets. Both teams are on back-to-backs and Harden’s level of play on back-to-backs doesn’t drop off (discounting games against the Clippers). He makes for a great play at SG to build your roster around.
