Tristan Thompson, C, Cleveland Cavaliers

FanDuel Price: $3,500
Projected FanDuel Points: 23.2
Projected FanDuel Value: 6.63

There isn't much to love about Tristan Thompson lately. Even after being moved into the starting lineup, he's averaged only 4.0 points and 4.8 rebounds in 22.2 minutes per game. With the Cleveland Cavaliers' three-game skid, though, the pressure might be on for everyone to perform on Wednesday night.

If motivation from his coach or LeBron James doesn't do the trick, Thompson might be asked to step up to deal with the problem that's become the Indiana Pacers' Domantas Sabonis. Our models buy into that notion, projecting Thompson to play nearly 30 minutes as he rates out as the number-two overall value play on tonight's loaded slate.
