FanDuel Price: $7,000
Bradley Beal has been hit-or-miss recently, but he does have three games with 35 or more FanDuel points in his past five contests. Tonight, he should benefit from playing in an up-tempo environment where he's thrived in the past. The Washington Wizards are projected for the third-highest implied team total on the slate (112.25 points) against the New York Knicks.
The oft-injured shooting guard has seen inconsistent minutes while recovering from a multitude of injuries over the past few seasons, but he's fully healthy right now and has averaged 34 minutes over his past five games, so all the splits used to evaluate his case will be representative of games where he's played at least 30 minutes.
This game's over/under is set for 217 points, and in games with at least a 215-point over/under over the past two seasons, Beal has seen his FanDuel average jump from 27.3 to 34.4 points. In eight games with an over/under this high during 2016-17, he's averaged 39.2 FanDuel points.
Beal has played in just three games this season with an implied team total this high and is averaging 42.6 FanDuel points. In games with an implied team total of at least 110 points, his average has risen from 30.1 to 40.1 FanDuel points.
The Knicks have also allowed the fourth-most FanDuel points to opposing shooting guards this season. With a favorable game script and matchup, Beal should put up big numbers tonight. He is an exciting high-upside tournament option.
