5 NBA FanDuel Value Plays to Target on 1/17/18

Kelly Oubre, SF, Washington Wizards

FanDuel Price: $4,600
Projected FanDuel Points: 22.0
Projected FanDuel Value: 4.79

There hasn't been an official announcement on Markieff Morris' status quite yet, but he didn't practice Tuesday after rolling his ankle Monday. Without a practice session, Morris is probably trending toward out, but we should know more after shootaround. If Morris is out, we should expect the Washington Wizards to start Kelly Oubre at small forward and move Otto Porter to power forward. After all, Washington deployed that starting lineup five times earlier this year and it performed rather well in that stretch (23.2 net rating).

In nine starts this season, Oubre's shown he can exceed value at today's price point. Averaging 10.9 points, 4.8 rebounds, and 1.0 steals in 32.3 minutes per game, he has three games of at least 25.4 FanDuel points while maxing out at 39.6 FanDuel points in a showdown with the Golden State Warriors.

That was back in October when Oubre was shooting 45.3% from the floor. This month, he's improved that to 52% shooting and has knocked down 1.7 threes on a 44.4% success rate. And, over the last five games, the result has been an average of 22.7 FanDuel points in 29.7 minutes a game. So what's not to like?!
