Dario Saric, PF, Minnesota Timberwolves

FanDuel Price: $3,700
Projected FanDuel Points: 20.4
Projected FanDuel Value: 5.50

Are we in the midst of a Dario Saric resurgence? I sure hope so, as the former Philadelphia 76ers has been struggling mightily with his new team.

After averaging 10.6 points per game in his first two months with the Minnesota Timberwolves, Saric put up just 6.7 per game in January and 6 in his first February game. Something happened when he took the court versus the Memphis Grizzlies on Tuesday, however.

Saric went 7-for-11 from the field, resulting in 22 points. Not only were the 11 attempts the most he's put up since January 8, but the 22 points represented a personal best on his new team. He followed up that performance with another 7-for-11 effort against the Orlando Magic in a 122-112 loss last night.

Can he find his stroke again tonight? That's yet to be seen, of course, but he'll probably get ample opportunity to do so in a game against the New Orleans Pelicans with a total set at 231.5, highest on the slate. We project him for 20.4 FanDuel points this evening.
