David Lee, PF, San Antonio Spurs

FanDuel Price: $3,400
Projected FanDuel Points: 22.5
Projected FanDuel Value: 6.60

David Lee stepped into the starting role for the San Antonio Spurs in Game 4 with Dewayne Dedmon sidelined, and remained the starter in Game 5 upon Dedmon's return. All indications are that he will remain the starter for tonight's Game 6, but be sure to keep an eye on his status.

In those two starts, Lee averaged 21.6 FanDuel points in 29.5 minutes, and his salary simply hasn't yet caught up to his expanded role. At his current price, Lee would need just 17.0 FanDuel points to reach five-times his salary implied point total.

A matchup with the Memphis Grizzlies normally isn't one we want to target, but there really aren't any great matchups available on tonight's slate. With the Spurs boasting the second-highest implied team total, Lee is in about as good of a spot as you're going to find. His salary and improved role make him a viable play in any format.
