George Hill, PG, Sacramento Kings

FanDuel Price: $4,700
Projected FanDuel Points: 23.4
Projected FanDuel Value: 4.97

With Frank Mason ruled out and De'Aaron Fox questionable, there's a chance George Hill is the only healthy point guard for the Sacramento Kings. It would be the first time this year that neither of Sacramento's young backups would be available, and it could have a big impact on Hill's minutes and role.

In six games without Fox -- who has been dealing with a quad injury -- Hill has averaged 31.2 minutes a game. Over that same span, he's averaged 21.8 FanDuel points with 11.2 points on 8.7 shots per game and a 17.4% usage rate (per NBA.com).

Hill has a usage rate of just 17% on the year, but that figure sees a slight increase -- to 18.5% -- with both Fox and Mason off the floor, per NBAWowy. If both are out and Hill is forced to play heavy minutes against the Charlotte Hornets, he should be a great value play.

Our models have Hill as the third-best point-per-dollar play on Tuesday night, and that's with our projections giving Fox 22.99 minutes tonight.
