5 NBA FanDuel Value Plays to Target on 3/22/18

Frank Mason, PG, Sacramento Kings

FanDuel Price: $3,900
Projected FanDuel Points: 17.2
Projected FanDuel Value: 4.42

The Sacramento Kings will be without backup guard Garrett Temple due to an ankle injury. Temple is averaging just 24.8 minutes in 65 games this season, but those are some valuable minutes for a guy like Frank Mason -- who is averaging 18.8 minutes a game -- to absorb.

The Kings haven't been playing rookie De'Aaron Fox big minutes of late. His 35 minutes against the Miami Heat on March 14th were his highest since early February, so it's clear that Sacramento's fine with keeping him around 30 minutes and allowing time for others like Mason and Temple. And that's where the opportunity comes in a matchup with an Atlanta Hawks squad ranked 25th against point guards this season.

In the 19 games Mason has played between 20 and 29 minutes, he's averaged 9.6 points, 3.9 assists and 1.9 rebounds for a total of 20.9 FanDuel points, counting steals and turnovers. That's with Fox and sans Temple, but without either of them on the floor, he's put up 0.86 FanDuel points per minute with a 23.1% usage rate, according to NBAWowy, so he should see a good workload with the second unit.
