FanDuel Price: $4,500
Projected FanDuel Points: 21.8
Projected FanDuel Value: 4.85

Despite the return of Brook Lopez and some improved play from Julius Randle, the Los Angeles Lakers are one of the worst teams in the league against centers. They rank next-to-last in allowing 55.0 FanDuel points on 22.3 points and 15.3 rebounds per game. And, as far as peripherals go, they're a goldmine for extra points from steals and blocks -- they give up 1.6 steals and 2.4 blocks per game to the position.

Tonight, they're not faced with an elite center, but the combination of Dwight Howard and Frank Kaminsky could be problematic. With the Charlotte Hornets' struggles, they're only 2.5-point favorites on the road in L.A., but Kaminsky's logged valuable minutes in the team's last three games, which have resulted in an 11-point win, an 8-point loss and a 20-point blowout victory. Regardless of the game flow, he should be out there and producing.

In Kaminsky's last three outings, he's put up an average of 28.5 FanDuel points, with double-digit scoring in all three. He's shooting 53.6% from the floor and 55.6% from three and he's added 5.0 rebounds, 2.3 assists, 1.0 steals and 1.0 blocks. His price has dropped by $700 in the last three days, just in case you were looking for even more reason to roster Frank the Tank.
