Malcolm Brogdon, PG, Milwaukee Bucks

FanDuel Price: $5,600
Projected FanDuel Points: 21.4
Projected FanDuel Value: 3.83

With Milwaukee's other secondary scoring options struggling to back up Giannis Antetokounmpo, Malcolm Brogdon stepped up in Game 1, scoring 16 points and 27.2 FanDuel points. Even in a tough on-paper matchup against Kyle Lowry and the Toronto Raptors, Brogdon had no trouble finding success.

His 34 minutes, 13 shot attempts and 20.3% usage rate all were well above his season averages, and he could continue to benefit from a larger role as the series progresses.

The only other real value point guard on the slate is George Hill, who was locked up by Chris Paul in Game 1 and has actually played worse with Rudy Gobert off the floor this season. If looking to save salary with one of your point guard spots, Brogdon definitely seems like the more appealing option.
