5 NBA FanDuel Value Plays to Target on 3/21/18
With Hassan Whiteside set to sit out a sixth straight game, is Bam Adebayo a must-play Wednesday against the Knicks?

Noah Vonleh, PF, Chicago Bulls

FanDuel Price: $4,000
Projected FanDuel Points: 10.8*
Projected FanDuel Value: 2.71*

There aren't really any reliable power forwards priced below $5,000 tonight. Players who have benefited from injuries and blowouts won't be in similar situations tonight, so why not go all the way down to Noah Vonleh, as he figures to see 25-plus minutes (in a possible start) against the Nuggets.

Vonleh missed the game before last with a toe injury, but he's been involved quite heavily over the last week. In three games, he's played 28.7 minutes with no fewer than 21.4 FanDuel points, while counting up double-digit rebounds in two straight contests. And the fact that he's getting up over 10 shots a night is promising given the matchup.

Not only do the Nuggets rank 23rd against power forwards, but since the All-Star break, their defense has been a sieve. With a 6-7 record, their defensive rating (113.8) sits 29th as their effective field goal percentage against (55.1%) ranks in a tie for 28th (with the Bulls). What's not to love about that upside, and in a home game at that?
