5 NBA FanDuel Value Plays to Target for 2/14/18

Eric Gordon, SG, Houston Rockets

FanDuel Price: $4,700
Projected FanDuel Points: 25.9
Projected FanDuel Value: 5.51

On Wednesday, the Houston Rockets possess the second-highest implied total (116.25 points) on the slate. The reason is simple: the Sacramento Kings' defense is abysmal. They rank 29th in defensive rating (112.1), 30th in effective field goal percentage (55.1%) against and 30th in opponent three-point makes (12.2) per game. They're the ideal matchup for Eric Gordon and the Rockets.

While both teams enter on the second half of back-to-back sets, the Rockets are at a clear advantage here. Vegas has them labeled as 14.5-point favorites at home, so there's a real possibility of a blowout. There's a chance that Gordon could benefit most from that type of game script, too.

Gordon has been off lately. After dealing with some back troubles, he's returned to average only 10.3 points on 30% shooting from the floor and 30.4% from beyond the arc through three games. But at his lowest price since December 11th, he could be in a prime spot to bounce back.
