Nerlens Noel, C, Dallas Mavericks

FanDuel Price: $4,200
Projected FanDuel Points: 20.0
Projected FanDuel Value: 4.76

All alone, Salah Mejri's absence doesn't mean much for the grand scheme of things. He didn't play in the Mavericks' last game and he has only logged nine minutes so far this month. But with him out, Nerlens Noel will have one fewer obstacle between him and 20-plus minutes.

Since Noel's return from injury, head coach Rick Carlisle has made it a point to get him minutes and see how he fits in with what they're trying to do. What Noel's done is average 5.2 points, 8.0 rebounds and 1.2 steals in 17.9 minutes a game. A week ago, he had his best showing with 8 points, 14 rebounds, 1 steal and 30.8 FanDuel points in 25.6 minutes of floor time.

After being rested on Saturday, Noel returned to play just over 15 minutes on Sunday against the Houston Rockets. He did a lot of damage in just little time, with 10 points, 9 rebounds, 1 steal and 25.3 FanDuel points. Since then, his price has actually decreased by $400, making him a very attractive play against the New York Knicks.
