5 NBA FanDuel Value Plays to Target for 2/13/18
Justin Jackson, SF, Sacramento Kings
FanDuel Price: $3,700
Projected FanDuel Points: 15.1
Projected FanDuel Value: 4.08
As the season grows older and older, it appears that the Sacramento Kings are going younger and younger. After dealing the aforementioned Hill to Cleveland at the deadline, De'Aaron Fox has been leading the team at the point, but Justin Jackson's also been getting more minutes of late. Over the last five games, he's averaged 26.1 minutes a game with two games of at least 26.8 minutes over that span.
On the downside, he's coming off somewhat of a disappointing game on Sunday. But he had to deal with the defense of Jimmy Butler and Andrew Wiggins in that one. Tuesday's matchup with the Dallas Mavericks' Wesley Matthews and Harrison Barnes isn't as tough. The Mavs rank in the middle-of-the-road against small forwards and have surrendered 112.5 points per 100 possessions over the last five games.
Given Dallas' vulnerability and Jackson's low price, he makes for an intriguing punt play. After all, he's reached or exceeded his salary-implied output -- at today's price -- of 18.5 FanDuel points twice in his last five, all the while averaging 17.7 FanDuel points with three double-digit scoring games and four rebounds a game.
