5 NBA FanDuel Value Plays to Target on 3/13/18
Tyler Dorsey, PG, Atlanta Hawks
FanDuel Price: $3,800
Projected FanDuel Points: 21.5
Projected FanDuel Value: 5.66
Every-day starter Kent Bazemore suffered a bone bruise to his right knee, and with the Atlanta Hawks nowhere near the playoffs, the team has decided to shut him down for the rest of the year. Head coach Mike Budenholzer has announced Tyler Dorsey as the team's starting two-guard in his stead, so he should see an uptick in minutes going forward.
Dorsey is listed as a point guard on FanDuel, but he'll play alongside Dennis Schroder for the majority of his minutes. That shouldn't be too much of an issue, as Dorsey's logged 175 minutes beside the Hawks' floor general. In fact, he started the second half in Sunday's game and played just short of 28 minutes, producing 18.1 FanDuel points with 7 points, 3 assists and 3 rebounds against the Chicago Bulls.
Tonight -- in a matchup with the Oklahoma City Thunder -- we project Dorsey to play over 30 minutes and provide top point-per-dollar value at the position. In the rookie's only two games above 30 minutes this season, he's averaged 25.3 FanDuel points in 31.9 minutes a game. If you get that from a guy below $4,000, you should be more than happy.
