5 NBA FanDuel Value Plays for 12/7/17
Inconsistent or lack of minutes might keep most from rostering these five guys. But why should you be targeting them in your NBA DFS lineups tonight?

Allen Crabbe, SF, Brooklyn Nets

FanDuel Price: $4,800
Projected FanDuel Points: 20.5
Projected FanDuel Value: 4.27

When Allen Crabbe made his return from a three-game absence this past weekend, most of us probably expected him to be right back to his 30-plus minutes a night, but he's played just over 25 and under 23 minutes through two games. Casual DFS players and NBA fans will look at that and assume he's lost his minutes to guys like Joe Harris, but Crabbe was brought back slowly on Saturday and dealt with foul trouble throughout Monday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. In other words, he should be back to his usual workload as soon as tonight.

As the Brooklyn Nets play host to the Oklahoma City Thunder, our models project Crabbe to get 29.1 minutes Thursday, and the production should follow. Over seven contests, the young wing has averaged 23.4 FanDuel points per game when playing at least 28 minutes. In five of those, he's racked up at least 25 FanDuel points. So, despite a head-to-head with Paul George, Crabbe's floor is worth a look if you have your sights set on Russell Westbrook or James Harden (both at $11,500) in tournaments.
