5 NBA FanDuel Value Plays to Target on 2/1/18

Delon Wright, PG, Toronto Raptors

FanDuel Price: $3,800
Projected FanDuel Points: 19.9
Projected FanDuel Value: 5.25

It's really tough to pay down at point guard on Thursday night. Of all players available at the position, there are only a few under $5,000 who are worth a look. Of those, Delon Wright makes for one of the more intriguing options with fellow guard Fred VanVleet ruled out for Thursday.

The Washington Wizards are without John Wall tonight and for the foreseeable future. That leaves them with the combined services of Tomas Satoransky and Tim Frazier. While Satoransky's started both games with Wall out, he's played 21 and 30 minutes with Frazier getting 27 and 15 in those same two games. We could see the same type of breakdown tonight, and that's a good thing for Wright, as the only healthy backup point guard for Toronto.

The Raptors are on the front end of a back-to-back set, so Kyle Lowry could be in for a few long rests here. When both Lowry and VanVleet have been off the floor, Wright's posted 0.77 FanDuel points per minute, and he's averaged 22.3 minutes in two games absent VanVleet. With a price down $1,000 from where it was just over a week ago, Wright could take advantage of his team's and opponent's backcourt situations.
