Dirk Nowitzki, PF, Dallas Mavericks

FanDuel Price: $4,900
Projected FanDuel Points: 22.7
Projected FanDuel Value: 4.62

If you're looking for a solid value play at power forward, it's probably going to come down to one of either Marquese Chriss or Dragan Bender. Given the Suns' inconsistent rotation, though, neither is guaranteed to play more than 24 minutes or so. For Dirk Nowitzki, it's not that he's getting 30-plus minutes either, but you do know what you're getting with him these days.

Averaging 25.4 minutes, 9.8 shots, and 22.7 FanDuel points per game in his 20th NBA season, Dirk has played at least 24 minutes in 10 consecutive outings. He's logged more than 27 on three occasions and is just four days removed from playing over 32 minutes against the Heat. He's getting up an average of 11 shots per game with five games of 25-plus FanDuel points over that same span.

It's not a very exciting play, but Nowitzki is as solid a bargain as you can find.
