Bargain Plays - Monday's Top Sleeper Picks

Here are the top sleeper picks for Monday's NBA action:

PG Jameer Nelson, Nuggets (vs. Rockets)

The long-time Orlando Magic PG bounced between three teams last season before settling in as a viable option out of the Nuggets backcourt.

After Nuggets rookie PG Emmanuel Mudiay left midway through the second quarter on Friday night with an ankle injury, Nelson entered the game and filled the stat sheet, posting a 20/7/6 line. His low price tag is worth rolling against a Rockets defense that allows teams to shoot 46.7% per game.

SG Raymond Felton, Mavericks (vs. Suns)

While the Mavericks' PG position has become a revolving door, Felton has been given consistent minutes and supplied DFS players with a rare triple-double Friday night.

While fellow PG Deron Williams is feeling under the weather, roll Felton in cash games as a cheap PG with a high ceiling.

SF Aaron Gordon, Magic (at Nets)

SF Tobias Harris is nursing a leg contusion. Even if Harris suits up, he will likely be on a minutes restriction, which paves the way for Gordon to see plenty of action Monday night.

Fire him up as a cheap bargain play with the potential to fill the stat sheet.

PF Ed Davis, Trail Blazers (vs. Pelicans)

Davis is a cheap way to expose your lineups to a Pelicans defense that allows a stunning 108.4 points per game.

Davis is known as a lockdown defender, and has seen his fantasy production hindered by the Trail Blazers' top scoring options - C.J. McCollum and Damian Lillard - dominating the shot attempts.

Davis isn't even the top option in the paint - that honor belongs to C Mason Plumlee. But his cheap price tag in a juicy matchup is tough to pass up.

C Tyson Chandler, Suns (at Mavericks)

Chandler has returned from a hamstring injury, though he was limited to bench duty Sunday night.

Chandler's price doesn't reflect the type of player he is; even coming off the bench, DFSers should have shares in Chandler when he battles the Mavericks and their mediocre defense.
