5 NBA FanDuel Value Plays to Target on 2/1/18
Manu Ginobili, SG, San Antonio Spurs
FanDuel Price: $4,300
Projected FanDuel Points: 17.2
Projected FanDuel Value: 4.00
In two games since returning from a thigh injury, Manu Ginobili has been solid. In 25 and 23 minutes, respectively, he has knocked down 11 of 25 shots, including 4 of 7 from three, and finished with an average of 24.8 FanDuel points in those two games. More impressively, he's used a team-high 30.3% of his team's possessions while on the floor.
Without Kawhi Leonard and Rudy Gay (both injured) in the lineup, Ginobili's usage rate is 24.7% with an average of 0.91 FanDuel points per minute at home this season. In a pace-up matchup with the Houston Rockets, Manu carries even more upside tonight.
The Rockets are averaging 4.4 more possessions per 48 minutes, but they're also ranked 25th in the league against shooting guards. They've allowed 8.3 more FanDuel points per game to the position over the last 10 (compared to their season-long clip), making Ginobili a great tournament option.
