5 NBA FanDuel Value Plays to Target on 3/7/18
Jordan Clarkson, SG, Cleveland Cavaliers
FanDuel Price: $4,600
Projected FanDuel Points: 22.5
Projected FanDuel Value: 4.89
Along with his teammate, Jordan Clarkson basically plays a point guard role off the bench for Cleveland. In his nine games with the team, he has a 24.8% usage while assisting on 16.1% of the Cavs' made field goals while on the floor.
In his role, Clarkson isn't seeing enough minutes to be thinking big upside. He's averaging 21.9 minutes and hasn't played more than 26 minutes in a single game. In last week's matchup with Denver, he played 23.4 minutes and produced 20.3 FanDuel points on 4-of-9 shooting. Maybe he could have done more, but that has been the baseline for Clarkson as a Cav. He has had two games below 20 FanDuel points, but he's averaging 21.2 FanDuel points with two games above 25.
Clarkson would be a nice play alongside LeBron James. This game should be up-and-down as it possesses the highest over/under (231 points) on tonight's seven-game slate. And while Cleveland enters as underdogs, they carry an implied total of 114.25 points into tonight's Mile High meeting.
