Cheat Sheet and Projections

We have reviewed every player from every team to help you make the best selections on Tuesday's slate.

Selection Player Salary Proj. Pts Pts/$1K
Stud Devin Booker (PHX, SG) $18,110 48.8 2.7
Value Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (ORL, SG) $6,580 20 3
Fade Deni Avdija (POR, PF/SF) $13,790 27.1 2
Cheapie Royce O'Neale (PHX, PF/SF) $7,120 21.1 3

According to Fantasy Insider's DFS model, our "stud" is the highest projected scorer across the slate, while "value" picks offer the most "bang for your buck," meaning they're expected to perform well relative to their salary.

Conversely, a "fade" is a player considered to offer lower value for money, based on their expected score relative to their salary. For budget-conscious strategies, "cheapie" options highlight the best value players at lower price points not already mentioned.

In fantasy sports, understanding value—assessing a player's potential output against their salary—is crucial, as players scoring high relative to their cost are key in crafting the optimal line-up.

The "Pts/$1K" metric shows the predicted points for every $1,000 of a player's salary. A higher number indicates better value, making it easier to spot players who could outperform their cost.

Conclusion

When building your NBA Tuesday Late teams, consider starting with a value player like Kentavious Caldwell-Pope. To secure one of the highest projected scorers, Devin Booker is a strong option. If you're seeking budget-friendly choices to free up salary cap for more studs, take a look at our cheapie options, including Royce O'Neale.

On the other hand, according to our model, Deni Avdija is one of the worst value options on the slate, suggesting you might want to limit exposure to him if entering multiple line-ups.
