What It Means:

Nerlens Noel should see a heavy workload tonight with Nowitzki out of the lineup. Dwight Powell and Salah Mejri are also in for more run off the bench. In the backcourt, Devin Harris, Yogi Ferrell and J.J. Barea will be asked to fill the void left by Curry and Matthews, and all three make for decent DFS bets as value plays. However, head coach Rick Carlisle suggested Barea might be held out, which would open things up even more for Harris and Ferrell.

As of now, Barea is numberFire's second-best value play of the night with a projected 26.6 fantasy points (FP) at a cost of only $4,400 on FanDuel. Harris ranks fifth with 20.3 projected FP at the minimum $3,500 price tag. Mejri ($3,500; 19.5 FP) and Ferrell ($4,600; 25.4 FP) round out Tuesday's top-10 DFS budget options.
