5 NBA FanDuel Value Plays to Target on 2/2/18

Al-Farouq Aminu, PF, Portland Trail Blazers

FanDuel Price: $4,900
Projected FanDuel Points: 22.8
Projected FanDuel Value: 4.66

Al-Farouq Aminu has dealt with some injuries this season, but when healthy, he's been a fairly consistent fantasy producer. He has tallied 15 FanDuel points or below in only six of his 38 games. In contrast, he's put together 16 games with at least 25 FanDuel points. The reason for his high floor is his role with the Trail Blazers.

Compared to the other options at his price range, Aminu's locked into minutes as the team's starting power forward. He is averaging 29.9 minutes on the year, 30.2 as a starter, and 33.6 over his last six games. After three straight games of at least 26 minutes and 27 FanDuel points, Aminu's streak was snapped only because of Wednesday's blowout of the Chicago Bulls.

With a defensive rating of 105.7, the Toronto Raptors are a top-three defense in the NBA. However, they're 19th in defensive rebounding rate and allow 10.3 offensive rebounds per game. Aminu is grabbing 21.1% of available defensive boards while averaging 1.2 offensive rebounds per game. In what could be a decently high-scoring affair, Aminu comes with a safe floor.
