3 NBA FanDuel Value Plays to Target on 1/25/18
Bam Adebayo, C, Miami Heat
FanDuel Price: $4,200
Projected FanDuel Points: 17.8
Projected FanDuel Value: 4.24
For those of you looking to play tournaments on Thursday's limited slate, Bam Adebayo could be the dude for you at center. Not only is he less than half the cost of guys like Nikola Jokic and Hassan Whiteside, but he's playing in a home game with a double-digit spread (10.0 points) in the Heat's favor. If it gets out of hand early, he could play some big minutes against the Sacramento Kings.
The Kings could be without Zach Randolph or George Hill in addition to the injured De'Aaron Fox, potentially making an already good matchup even better. This defense-versus-position spot is almost as good as they come. Sacramento's allowing 54.43 FanDuel points per-48 minutes to centers, which checks in 27th among all teams and is 2.0 more FanDuel points than any other team on this evening's slate is giving up to the position.
