3 NBA FanDuel Value Plays for 12/28/17
With Jeff Teague injured, Tyus Jones could get a spot start Thursday for the Timberwolves. Which other players could produce at bargain prices tonight?

FanDuel Price: $3,600

Projected FanDuel Value: 3.08

On Wednesday night, Jeff Teague exited late with what appeared to be a knee injury. He is set for an MRI this morning and there is definite concern around the organization, according to reports. It sure sounds like Teague could miss at least a few games, which would push Tyus Jones into a starting role.

Jones started three games earlier this season and looked really good in doing so. Over 40 minutes a game, he produced 12.3 points, 6.7 assists and 4.0 rebounds a game. He's not a fantasy deadzone by any means.

The matchup against Eric Bledsoe and company isn't the best, as the Milwaukee Bucks rank third in the NBA in terms of fantasy points allowed to opposing point guards. But the Timberwolves are coming off of an overtime game on Wednesday, so Jones might be one of the fresher bodies on the team. There's a chance he'll take some of the playmaking duties away from Jimmy Butler, which would only add to the intrigue of a dirt-cheap starter. Just be sure to confirm that Teague's out before plugging and playing Jones tonight.
