3 Daily Fantasy Basketball Value Plays for 4/22/17

Marcin Gortat, C, Washington Wizards

FanDuel Price: $5,800
Projected FanDuel Points: 24.2
Projected FanDuel Value: 4.17

The Washington Wizards elected to limit Marcin Gortat's minutes to close out the season, but the big fella has been unleashed to begin the playoffs. With Ian Mahinmi already declared out for tonight's game, Gortat should continue to see close to the 33 minutes he has averaged through the first two games.

Normally, a matchup against Dwight Howard and the Atlanta Hawks is one we would prefer to avoid. However, Gortat has been able to average 35.3 FanDuel points through the first two games of this series.

Washington has a decent-enough 103.5-point implied total in a game with a 210-point over/under, the second-highest of the slate.

Until his price goes up, Gortat is likely going to continue to be one of the most highly-owned centers each night he is available, but don't let that deter you. With the role he has been playing for Washington, it will be hard for him to disappoint at this price point.
