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

Tyson Chandler, C, Phoenix Suns

FanDuel Price: $4,800
Projected FanDuel Points: 22.1
Projected FanDuel Value: 4.61

There's not a ton of value on this short slate. But, with three elite centers taking the floor, you could set yourself apart by rostering a lower-priced option like Tyson Chandler in tournaments.

Since December 23rd, Chandler has been a rebounding machine. Across 26.6 minutes a night, he's averaged 11.4 rebounds per game with only one game below double digits. The end result has been an average of 22.1 FanDuel points with four games of at least 24 FanDuel points over his last nine. That's despite scoring an average of just 6.2 points, so you could imagine the upside if he sees the minutes and manages to score double-digit points down low.

On Tuesday, Chandler draws a head-to-head with Jusuf Nurkic and the Portland Trail Blazers. Overall, the Blazers have been a top-five defense, but they've given up the eighth-most FanDuel points per game (51.1) to the center spot. That includes 21.9 points, 14.6 rebounds and 2.3 blocks per game. There's a chance Chandler goes for 15-plus boards or a double-double as his Phoenix Suns take on Nurk and company in Portland.
