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?

Denzel Valentine, SF, Chicago Bulls

FanDuel Price: $4,700
Projected FanDuel Points: 22.0
Projected FanDuel Value: 4.68

Small forward's tough to pay down at on Tuesday. The lone stud on the slate (Giannis Antetokounmpo) comes from that slot, and at that, there's just not a lot of value to be had below $5,000. But if you're looking to roster the Greek Freak, you'll need someone like Denzel Valentine at the other small forward position.

Out of all the cheaper options, Valentine is a top-three point-per-dollar play, per our projections. However, he's unlikely to carry high ownership and makes for a good tournament option. The reason why is he's coming off of a 5-point, 13.5-FanDuel-point showing on Saturday. And, to make matter worse, he played fewer than 22 minutes and returned only 8.3 FanDuel points opposite the same opponent -- the Milwaukee Bucks -- just over 10 days ago.

Valentine is ripe for the picking on tonight's slate. A lot of people will shy away from him, but his last three games are encouraging despite the dud this past weekend. He's played 28.5 minutes or more in each game, and in the two games prior, he went for 37.5 and 35.0 FanDuel points against the Magic and Cleveland Cavaliers, respectively. Look for him to get back on track against the Bucks.
