5 NBA FanDuel Value Plays for 12/26/17
With Nikola Vucevic sidelined, Bismack Biyombo figures to see an uptick in minutes and production. Who else makes for a bargain play on Tuesday's NBA DFS slate?

Bismack Biyombo, C, Orlando Magic

FanDuel Price: $4,400
Projected FanDuel Points: 21.9
Projected FanDuel Value: 4.99

If you haven't heard already, Nikola Vucevic is going to miss six to eight weeks after fracturing his left hand. Obviously, that's not good for NBA or Orlando fans. This is daily fantasy basketball, though, and for our purposes, this points directly at Bismack Biyombo.

Through 34 games, Biyombo has served as the Magic's backup center, averaging just 4.1 points, 4.3 rebounds, and 15.3 minutes per game. He hasn't been much of a fantasy factor until now.

There's almost no way around Biyombo playing more than 25 minutes (we project him for 27.2 minutes) with Vucevic sidelined. There isn't really anything of substance behind him. So Biyombo should eat. After all, he's produced 9.7 points, 10.2 rebounds, and 2.4 blocks per 36 minutes this season, and in 185 career starts, he's averaged 6.1 points, 8.3 rebounds, and 1.8 blocks over 28.6 minutes. That's all the makings of a top-two center play on Tuesday's slate.
