Mario Hezonja, SF, Orlando Magic

FanDuel Price: $4,300
Projected FanDuel Points: 31.7
Projected FanDuel Value: 7.38

We already touched on the Magic's injury issues, and unlike Mack, Mario Hezonja is a lock to start for Orlando. He can slide into either forward spot and has played 70% of his minutes at power forward this year, according to Basketball Reference's play-by-play data.

In Gordon's stead -- as he battled a concussion and other injuries -- Hezonja made 16 starts earlier in the season. In those starts, he averaged 30.5 minutes and 30.3 FanDuel points. On a per-minute basis, he's averaging 0.93 FanDuel points per minute without both Fournier and Gordon out of the lineup.

Clearly, Hezonja's price isn't up to his level of production in a starter's role. He'll be an easy chalk play until that happens (if Gordon misses more games), but his matchup has him primed for a big game tonight. Since the break, the Kings are 25th in defensive rating and 29th in rebounding rate. Don’t oerthink this one.
