Dillon Brooks, SF, Memphis Grizzlies

FanDuel Price: $4,000
Projected FanDuel Points: 18.9
Projected FanDuel Value: 4.2

Last night, Dillon Brooks took advantage of the Memphis Grizzlies' short rotations and turned 39.9 minutes into 33 FanDuel points. He got up 19 shots, scored 12 points and contributed 4 steals. Needless to say, he's going to be a popular play at his price.

Wednesday's performance wasn't just a flash in the pan from Brooks. He has gotten up double-digit shots in three of his last four and has done so on eight different occasions this season. He has a usage rate of at least 20% in five of Memphis' last nine games, soaking up a large part of the possessions left by the (probably) soon-to-be traded Tyreke Evans.

Brooks' role alone puts him in a good spot -- the matchup makes it that much better. The Detroit Pistons have allowed a league-worst 53.3 FanDuel points per game to small forwards over their last five. Don't let the Grizzlies' low Vegas total (97.5 points) keep you from a value like Brooks.
