Marcin Gortat, C, Washington Wizards

FanDuel Price: $4,600
Projected FanDuel Points: 23.5
Projected FanDuel Value: 5.10

Marcin Gortat has been the opposite of consistent lately. It's not all his fault, as he's been phased out of games quite a few games over the last couple weeks with the Wizards opting for more small-ball lineups. But tonight's matchup with the Raptors and Jonas Valanciunas could mean a lot more floor time for the Polish Hammer.

If history is any indication, we should see roughly 30 minutes of Gortat. In 17 previous matchups between Gortat and JV, the Washington Wizards' big man has averaged 30.6 minutes with 28.1 FanDuel points per game.

Last time out, Gortat played 25 minutes. Coach Scott Brooks limited the minutes of Markieff Morris at center, and that could become a trend with the Wizards making up for the absence of John Wall. Plus, we should be targeting Gortat at home as, per NBAWowy, he has averaged an additional 0.09 FanDuel points per minute with a true shooting percentage more than 20 percentage points higher at home this season, compared to his road numbers.
