Wayne Ellington, SG, Miami Heat

FanDuel Price: $4,600
Projected FanDuel Points: 23.0
Projected FanDuel Value: 5.00

On Tuesday, both Dion Waiters and Justise Winslow are listed as out for the Miami Heat, which should mean big minutes again for Wayne Ellington. He hasn't drawn a start, but at 34.8 minutes over his last four, he's basically playing starter's minutes at the two and three spots for Miami.

With all the playing time, Ellington's managed double-digit shot attempts in three straight all the while averaging 14 points per game.

The opportunity has been there for Ellington, and that should remain the case tonight. Our models project him to play 34-plus minutes for a Miami team implied at 106.75 points. Even with an $800 price bump, Ellington is one of the two best value plays at the off-guard spot.
