Ryan Anderson, PF, Houston Rockets

FanDuel Price: $4,000
Projected FanDuel Points: 20.4
Projected FanDuel Value: 5.1

As we've alluded to, the Spurs play at a snail-like pace in comparison to the Rockets. But within the confines of the Toyota Center, Ryan Anderson and the Rockets -- with an implied total of 110 points -- are still expected to be one of the higher-scoring teams on tonight's slate. After all, they have an offensive rating of 113.2 on the year and, with the return of Chris Paul, boast a 117.5 rating over the last 11 games.

Anderson has been one of the primary beneficiaries of Paul's play-making and passing. Averaging 14.7 points (on 45.5% shooting) and 3.4 threes (on 40.7% from downtown) per 36 minutes, Anderson has watched those numbers increase to 18.0 and 4.2, respectively, in his last 10 games with the All-Star point guard.

With Luc Mbah a Moute now on the mend, Anderson looks even better for fantasy purposes. He's likely to see at least 30 minutes. When he's done just that, Anderson has put up 23 FanDuel points per game in 2017. Lock him at his very low cost tonight.
