5 NBA FanDuel Value Plays to Target on 3/14/19

Brandon Knight, PG, Cleveland Cavaliers

FanDuel Price: $4,400
Projected FanDuel Points: 13.8
Projected FanDuel Value: 3.21

Here is another situation dependent on another player. Matthew Dellavedova has missed each of the past three games with a concussion. Normally the absence of a player like Delly wouldn't amount to much -- he had played no more than 19 minutes in each of his past five games -- but on a struggling team like the Cleveland Cavaliers it can mean a great deal.

His absences has specifically helped one player: point guard Brandon Knight. Knight has seen at least 24 or 26 minutes of run in each of the past three games, up from 19-to-20 when Dellavedova was on the court. It's made a huge difference in his output.

Knight has scored in double figures in all three games, adding an average of 2.0 steals and putting up a minimum of 25.0 FanDuel points in each contest. It's caused his salary to jump slightly to $4,300 tonight, but that still leaves him in clear value territory, and you need to strongly consider using him if Delly misses a fourth straight game.

Our models are on the conservative side at the moment, projecting Dellavedova to take the court. If he doesn't go, however, then expect Knight to once again be the beneficiary and see much more than his currently projected 13.8 FanDuel points.
