Josh Jackson, PF, Phoenix Suns

FanDuel Price: $4,400
Projected FanDuel Points: 20.6
Projected FanDuel Value: 4.68

Not always the most consistent fantasy option, Josh Jackson brings with him one of the higher ceilings of those players running under $5,000 on Wednesday’s limited six-game slate.

In a backup role for the Phoenix Suns over the last six games, Jackson is averaging 9.3 points, 3.8 rebounds, 1.8 assists, and 1.0 blocks in 22.8 minutes a night. It's not an eye-popping stat line, but the second-year forward has produced three games with at least 22.4 FanDuel points in his last five games. All those games came with him playing fewer than 24 minutes in each contest too. If he were to see even a slight uptick in minutes against the Utah Jazz on Wednesday, Jackson could be a top value option.

The last time Jackson faced the Jazz, on February 6, he tied a career-high with 27 points. He added four rebounds, seven assists and five steals to finish with a season-high 53.3 FanDuel points. While he isn’t expected to reach that massive level of production tonight, it shows that the 22.0 FanDuel points he needs to reach ideal value is not out of reach.
