Jerian Grant, PG, Orlando Magic

FanDuel Price: $3,700
Projected FanDuel Points: 13.8
Projected FanDuel Value: 3.72

After starting the season as the primary backup point guard for the Orlando Magic, Jerian Grant lost his job to Isaiah Briscoe and began to pick up DNP-CDs. Since January 7, Grant played in just 9 of 21 games and averaged only 12.4 minutes a night. However, with Briscoe dealing with a concussion and sitting out on Sunday, Grant moved back into the rotation and put up some solid numbers. He finished with 7 points and 7 assists for 27.1 FanDuel points against the Toronto Raptors. With Briscoe listed out again on Tuesday, Grant is in position to pick up close to 20 minutes once again in a soft spot against the New York Knicks.

The Knicks own a bottom-four defensive rating and surrender over 114 points per game. In their two previous meetings with Orlando, the Knicks lost by an average of 22.0 points. The blowout risk remains on Tuesday as the Magic are 7.5-point favorites tonight. That leaves extra playing time on the plate for Grant versus a defense that gives up the ninth-most FanDuel points per minute (0.96) to point guards. He dropped 25.4 FanDuel points against New York back in November.
