NBA DFS Helper: DeMar DeRozan leads trio of strong FanDuel value plays for Friday

Friday's main NBA slate will feature nine games, and tip-off times will range between 7 and 10 p.m. ET. SportsLine's latest stack article included the main slate's top scorer and returned more than 5X value on DraftKings. There's plenty of value on the table this Friday, and we've turned our attention to FanDuel to identify a stud, mid-tier, and bargain option worth rostering on FanDuel ahead of the action. 

Ameer Tyree got his start in NBA DFS over four years ago. The former DraftKings Nation betting and fantasy writer spent over a year and a half breaking down basketball slates to build optimal lineups there. Both Ameer's three-man stacks from Thursday returned at least 5X value, and one included two of the top-10 performers on the slate. Now he's turned his attention to tiered value plays for Friday's nine-game slate.

One play Ameer loves: DeMar DeRozan. "Giannis Antetokounmpo erupted for a 30-point triple-double against the Dubs on Thursday, so DeRozan has a great chance to get out of his scoring slump. Golden State will likely have to deploy Juan Toscano-Anderson or Andrew Wiggins at power forward to guard the Bulls' MVP candidate." Ameer says about the matchup.
