3 NBA FanDuel Value Plays to Target on 1/16/18

Jonathon Simmons, SF, Orlando Magic

FanDuel Price: $4,700
Projected FanDuel Points: 23.6
Projected FanDuel Value: 5.02

On January 3rd, Jonathon Simmons exited the Orlando Magic's game against the Houston Rockets with what would be diagnosed as back spasms. He sat out the team's next matchup before returning to the floor on January 9th. He was clearly still dealing with the issue as he was limited to 20 and 21 minutes in his next two games, but it looks like he's back to being the player he was before the injury.

In Friday's game versus the Washington Wizards, Simmons logged 33 minutes and scored 23 points on 8-of-11 shooting. He was a perfect 6-for-6 from the line while adding a three-pointer and 5 assists en route to a 28.5-FanDuel-point showing.

Tonight, he'll face the defense of Jimmy Butler or Andrew Wiggins, but the Minnesota Timberwolves' defense is still 20th in the league on a 100-possession basis while playing at a higher pace on the road than at home. Thanks to Simmons' recent struggles, his price is back to where it was to start the year -- which is something to take advantage of.
