5 NBA FanDuel Value Plays to Target for 2/13/18

J.R. Smith, SG, Cleveland Cavaliers

FanDuel Price: $4,600
Projected FanDuel Points: 16.3
Projected FanDuel Value: 3.54

J.R. Smith won't be as unpopular as Hill -- and for good reason. In his last four games, Smith is averaging 22.0 FanDuel points on 60.6% shooting from the floor and a 58.3% clip from three-point land.

Despite a blowout of the Boston Celtics on Sunday, Smith went for nearly eight-times his salary implied value -- 5 points per every $1,000 -- with 31.7 FanDuel points in 29 minutes. And the fact that he still saw minutes given the game script bodes well for his chances of playing at least 29 minutes in tonight's matchup with OKC.

If his first game with the Cavs' revamped roster is any indication, Smith should be in for nice production alongside Hill and LeBron James. He contributed 1.1 FanDuel points per minute with only seven shots and a low usage rate (13.4%). That could be attributed, in large part, to Smith's defensive effort, as he added a steal and two blocks -- something he had not done once in his previous 53 games this season. So long as he brings that same energy tonight, he should reach value with the Thunder struggling to make up for the absence of Roberson on the perimeter.
