5 Daily Fantasy Basketball Value Plays for 2/1/16

Aaron Gordon, PF, Orlando Magic ($4,000)

Aaron Gordon will likely be a player who will cause a divide among fantasy prognosticators this evening. On one hand, Gordon has been on fire of late -- averaging 28.52 FanDuel points per game over his previous five, including a massive 47.3-point outing last night. On the other, he's facing the vaunted Spurs defense in a game that will likely be over by the end of the third quarter -- the Spurs are favored by 16 points.

While the Spurs have been elite against opposing power forwards this year --  they've allowed the fifth-fewest points to the position -- that has changed without Tim Duncan in the lineup to help defend the rim. Over the past five games, the Spurs have actually allowed the third most points to the position. With Gordon's bargain price tag, the downside here is minimal. He's worth a look in all formats this evening.
