Tyler Johnson, PG, Miami Heat

FanDuel Price: $4,200
Projected FanDuel Points: 22.2
Projected FanDuel Value: 5.27

At first, it appeared that the addition of Dwyane Wade wouldn't have an effect on Tyler Johnson's role in the Miami Heat backcourt. In Friday's game, Johnson logged 36.4 minutes and scored 19 points on 16 shots. But, on Tuesday, he played just 22 minutes and was limited to 7 points on 3-of-8 shooting. Fortunately, we should get more of him on Wednesday.

Wade played over 21 minutes last night and he's been limited on back-to-backs at his advanced age. So naturally, we should see Johnson back to the level of minutes, production, and usage we saw in his three games prior to last night. Over that stretch, he averaged 34.3 minutes and 23 FanDuel points with a 18.7% usage.

Tonight, Johnson squares off with the Philadelphia 76ers. On the year, the Sixers are third-worst against point guards, so Johnson comes with some nice upside so long as he gets the minutes.
