Rodions Kurucs, PF, Brooklyn Nets

FanDuel Price: $3,900
Projected FanDuel Points: 20.0
Projected FanDuel Value: 5.13

Over the last two games, Rodions Kurucs has seen an increased workload due to an injury to Treveon Graham. Kurucs played over 24 minutes in both games, even starting on Monday against the Dallas Mavericks. He excelled in the spot start, racking up 19 points, 6 rebounds, a block, and an assist for 29.7 FanDuel points in 24.4 minutes. The performance was his second straight game with at least 21.4 FanDuel points.

While Kurucs won't need to produce that well to achieve value at his low price of $3,900 on Wednesday, it is possible as Graham is looking doubtful to play against the Cleveland Cavaliers. That gives Kurucs another start, this time against the worst defense in the NBA.

The Cavs rank 30th in the Association with a 116.1 defensive rating while opponents rack up over 113 points per game. Cleveland also gives up 0.95 FanDuel points per minute to power forwards, meaning if Kurucs plays 20.5 minutes on Wednesday, he will be well on his way to living up to the top-five value power forward option we have him as tonight.
