5 NBA FanDuel Value Plays for 12/20/17
We pinpoint the best value plays on tonight's NBA DFS slate, including Trey Lyles of the Denver Nuggets.

Jordan Bell, PF, Golden State Warriors

FanDuel Price: $4,400
Projected FanDuel Points: 10.9
Projected FanDuel Value: 2.47

Just give him the minutes, he'll give you fantasy points. Sometimes finding value is just that straightforward, and Jordan Bell is a prime example. Bell's fantasy worth basically comes down to whether or not he's starting. If he starts, plug him into your fantasy lineup. If he's not, don't. That may seem oversimplified, but for efficient fantasy scorers like Bell, it's not.

He may not be Draymond Green's clone just yet, but the rookie's 1.2 FanDuel points per minute is actually higher than Green's. Bell's averaging 28.4 FanDuel points per game in each of his five starts this season, and there is little reason to think he won't be in the starting lineup tonight. Green is questionable and could conceivably come back tonight, but there is little reason to risk it with how well the Golden State Warriors have been playing without him. They've won all five games he has missed this season (all Jordan Bell starts), and they should easily make it six in what should be a blowout at home against the Memphis Grizzlies.

The only problem with rostering Bell tonight is that we may not hear about Green's status until well after tip-off. If that's the case, Bell will have to be a player you target in tournaments only. Hopefully Steve Kerr will be nice to everybody in fantasy land and tip his hand early, but don't bet on it.
