The 5 Best Power Forwards to Target in Daily Fantasy Basketball Tournaments
3. Terrence Jones, New Orleans Pelicans
The days of Terrence Jones being one of the game's top tournament plays may be over with the acquisition of DeMarcus Cousins. However, Jones is averaging a solid 0.92 FanDuel points per minute this season, and when he has been in the starting lineup, he has performed well in NBA DFS tournaments.
In 12 starts this season, Jones has generally been a must-roster option, especially on nights when Anthony Davis did not play. In four games sans Davis, Jones averaged 26.0 points and 9.3 rebounds per contest.

Jones' price has started to increase. Over his last 13 games, he has had a price tag anywhere between $5,100 and $6,000. However, even during that stretch he reached at least 27 FanDuel points five times and had a season-best 59.7 FanDuel points against the Cleveland Cavaliers.
Now that Cousins is likely to take away a good chunk of Jones' minutes, his price could start to decrease back to the $4,500 range he enjoyed earlier in the season. That will only help if/when he needs to take over for Cousins or Davis because of injury or rest.
