This article is part of our FanDuel NBA series.
We certainly had a baller night in our Monday FanDuel article, choosing Anthony Edwards as a top add. He delivered with a huge total and possibly the dunk of the year. Let's see if we can slam-sunk Wednesday's slate, which tips off at 7:00 p.m. ET.
SLATE OVERVIEW
For the latest spreads and over-unders, visit RotoWire's NBA Odds page. There, you can also find player props, futures, picks articles and sportsbook bonus codes.
The IND/DET game clocks in with the best numbers in terms of total and pace, but the SAC/TOR game wasn't far behind. We gave a lot of love to that game in our endorsements. Boston and Phoenix didn't get much attention, but there are certainly worthwhile DFS options on both squads to consider for contrarian value. We have a lot of injury pivots to consider, but you'll find that the point guard position is fairly priced across the board. You'll get what you pay for at that position.
INJURIES
For all the latest updates, visit RotoWire's NBA Injury News page and our comprehensive NBA Injury Report. Below are some of the most recent and relevant injuries for Wednesday. Keep in mind that this is not a complete list. Use your best judgment when evaluating ongoing injury scenarios elsewhere on the slate.
MIL Giannis Antetokounmpo (hamstring) - OUT
Antetokounmpo will be unavailable, and Bobby Portis ($7,100) will likely take his spot in the starting lineup.
CLE Donovan Mitchell (nose) - OUT
CLE Evan Mobley (ankle) - OUT
CLE Max Strus (knee) - OUT
CLE Dean Wade (knee) - OUT
Cleveland's injury situation continues to provide excellent DFS value. Per usual, Jarrett Allen ($8,500) will hold court up front. Caris LeVert ($7,800) and Darius Garland ($7,700) are becoming too expensive, but Georges Niang ($4,800) and the newly acquired Marcus Morris ($3,900) are favorably priced.
BOS Jrue Holiday (shoulder) - QUESTIONABLE
BOS Jaylen Brown (ankle) - QUESTIONABLE
BOS Sam Hauser (ankle) - QUESTIONABLE
Payton Pritchard ($4,800) is a great pivot for Holiday. The usual starters should absorb Brown's output.
MIA Jimmy Butler (foot) - QUESTIONABLE
MIA Bam Adebayo (back) - QUESTIONABLE
MIA Tyler Herro (foot) - OUT
MIA Duncan Robinson (back) - OUT
MIA Kevin Love (heel) - OUT
MIA Nikola Jovic (hamstring) - QUESTIONABLE
An appearance from Butler and/or Jovic could alter Miami's usage breakdown, so let's pivot to what is currently dependable. Terry Rozier ($7,200) is a great choice here, and Bam Adebayo's ($8,600) value is enhanced if Butler and Jovic remain out. However, Adebayo was a late addition to Wednesday's injury report.
NYK Immanuel Quickley (personal) - OUT
Quickley is now added to a lengthy injury report for the Raptors. Gary Trent ($6,300) will continue to be my favorite pivot in this scenario, but Jordan Nwora's ($4,600) recent run of games makes him a viable budget add. Bruce Brown ($5,300) also sets up well.
UTA Lauri Markkanen (quad) - OUT
UTA John Collins (head) - QUESTIONABLE
UTA Jordan Clarkson (groin) - OUT
Keyonte George ($6,600) and Collin Sexton ($7,400) are great backcourt pivots for Clarkson. If Collins misses, Walker Kessler ($6,000) isn't a bad idea despite his limited eligibility. A pivot for Markkanen is a murky proposition at best. I won't single out anyone outside of Taylor Hendricks ($5,100), who will continue to start.
PHI Tobias Harris (ankle) - QUESTIONABLE
If Harris misses, expect another productive night from Kelly Oubre ($6,800).
POR Jerami Grant (hamstring) - QUESTIONABLE
Assuming Deandre Ayton ($8,300) has found an air mattress to his liking, I prefer him over Toumani Camara ($4,700) despite the massive salary differential.
MEM - SEVERAL INJURIES
Even though Desmond Bane ($8,000) is expensive, he jumps to the forefront as the team's best scoring option moving forward. Jaren Jackson ($8,700) is a big man to consider against the undersized Warriors, and GG Jackson ($6,300) warrants a recommendation based on recent production.
ELITE PLAYERS
We have three players above 10k for Wednesday's slate, and Domantas Sabonis ($10,900) is the best option against an injury-riddled Toronto squad. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander ($11,000) also faces a short-handed team in Utah, but Sabonis has more triple-double potential. FanDuel's recent triple-double bonus promo makes him even more worthwhile.
There are several great options in the 8-9k range. Tyrese Maxey ($9,200) should be fired up to take on the Suns, and Kevin Durant ($9,500) should also have a massive impact on the other end. It's hard to avoid Kawhi Leonard ($8,900) and Paul George ($8,600) against the short-handed Trail Blazers, especially with James Harden ($8,400) back in action. Chet Holmgren ($8,000) is also worth a shot at center against Utah, who will continue to struggle in the frontcourt without Markkanen.
EXPECTED CHALK AND OTHER TARGETS
Anfernee Simons, POR 
($7,900) vs. LAC
Assuming both players stay healthy, the Portland backcourt should settle into a tandem of Simons and Scoot Henderson ($6,000) for the remainder of the season. I don't mind either player, but Simons has the best potential to exceed 5x value, Simons' dual eligibility is also an excellent reason to select him.
Kelly Olynyk, TOR 
($6,900) vs. SAC
Olynyk faced a tough challenge opposite Sabonis, but considering Toronto's injury issues, I'm a fan of the big man's dual eligibility. He works as a budget pivot from Sabonis, especially if elite guard options are more appealing to you.
Keegan Murray, SAC 
($6,700) @ TOR
Although Murray was less dependable recently, he's been able to turn the heat up with two value-beating numbers over the past week. He's notched double-doubles in two of his last three games, and dual forward eligibility is a plus when considering him.
Caleb Martin, MIA 
($5,400)
It's tough to predict what will happen with Miami tonight given Butler's questionable status, but Martin's value increases if the star forward is a scratch. Martin can break 30 FDFPs if given enough opportunity.
VALUE PLAYS
We did a pretty good job identifying the best pivots in the injury section, but there are also several other budget picks to choose from. In no particular order, here are bargain players I prefer at every position.
PG T.J. McConnell, IND 
($5,700)
SG Sam Merrill, CLE 
($4,500)
SG/SF Gradey Dick, TOR ($4,400)
PF/C Trayce Jackson-Davis, GSW 
($6,200)
IND/DET CONSIDERATIONS
We didn't give this game enough attention despite its favorable projected total and pace. The problem with both teams is difficulty estimating usage for available targets. If you find yourself stuck and need some diversity, you should certainly consider some options from this matchup.
