Indiana Pacers Fantasy Value, Betting Report – Feb 20: David West vs. Sixers

The Indiana Pacers daily fantasy value and betting report as we enter into the second half of the 2015 NBA season is examined by Gambling911.com, the official sponsor of the first ever Daily Fantasy Sports Expo in Miami Beach.  This is just one of the many new additions to the Gambling911.com site to compliment the second half of the season that we hope will make you a winner whether you’re betting on games or playing daily fantasy NBA.

The Indiana Pacers have been playing decent basketball of late, winning 6 of their last 10 before the All Star Break.  They have covered in seven of those games.

They draw somewhat of an enticing fantasy matchup scenario over the next five games, facing Philadelphia twice and a Thunder team whose defense has ranked in the bottom third this season.  

The Pacers are considered one of the tougher teams of late to go up against from a fantasy standpoint. 

They will face off against Philadelphia (A), Golden State (H), Oklahoma City (A), then Cleveland and Philadelphia against at home.

Here are your projected salaries and target fantasy points to make value (vary between sites):

C.J. Miles (SF) $4.5K – 26 fantasy points

Solomon Hill (SF) $3.3K – 19 fantasy points

George Hill (PG) $5.2K – 26 fantasy points

David West (PF) $6.7K – 34 fantasy points

Roy Hibbert (C) $5.6K – 28 fantasy points

David West – Philadelphia has ranked dead last this season against power forwards.  They are also last in the rebound differential.  West scored 28 points and had 9 rebounds in just over 32 minutes against Philadelphia the last time he faced them, and this was well above value.  He’ll be going up against the 76ers twice in the next five games. 

West also performed admirably against Cleveland the last time he faced them, tallying up over 40 fantasy points.  He only needs approximately 34 to make value.

Philadelphia – Strong Go

Golden State – Hold

Oklahoma City – Hold

Cleveland – Neutral/Go

Philadelphia – Strong Go
