5 NBA FanDuel Value Plays to Target on 1/30/19

Alex Len, C, Atlanta Hawks

FanDuel Price: $4,600
Projected FanDuel Points: 23.4
Projected FanDuel Value: 5.08

Over his last six games, Alex Len has not been flush with playing time, seeing the court for just over 20 minutes a night as the backup center to Dewayne Dedmon. The Atlanta Hawks' big man has taken advantage of his limited time though, posting 13.8 points, 7.5 rebounds, and 1.2 blocks per game. He has finished with at least 23 FanDuel points in five of the six games while averaging 30.7 FanDuel points per game and a massive 1.5 FanDuel points per minute. If he can maintain that high rate on Wednesday, Len would need to play just 15.3 minutes against the Sacramento Kings to reach 5.0 FanDuel points per $1,000 of salary. The big man has reached that minutes threshold in 12 of his last 15 games (80%) played.

His opponent on Wednesday, the Kings, have had issues reigning in centers too. They have allowed 1.16 FanDuel points per minute to the position, the seventh-highest rate on Wednesday’s slate. Sacramento owns the seventh-worst rebound percentage in the league, directly allowing their opponents to score the second-most second-chance points and fourth-most points in the paint this season.
