Ryan Anderson, PF, Houston Rockets

FanDuel Price: $4,300

News came out Monday morning that Nene Hilario will miss the remainder of the playoffs, which is a big blow to the Rockets' bench.

Nene had been a difference maker -- especially in their first-round matchup -- but his absence should open up more minutes and usage for Ryan Anderson. Even with an expanded role, Anderson is tough to trust in anything outside of large-field tournaments due to the volatile nature of his play.

As he showed in Game 3, he can go cold in an instant and drop a dud (4.2 FanDuel points in 29 minutes). However, his performance in Games 1 and 2 (31.7 and 29.1 FanDuel points) shows how valuable he can be at this price. He only needs 21.5 FanDuel points to reach five-times his salary-implied point total, which should be easily attainable with a potentially expanded role.
