5 NBA FanDuel Value Plays to Target on 3/22/18
Frank Kaminsky, PF, Charlotte Hornets
FanDuel Price: $4,200
Projected FanDuel Points: 19.6
Projected FanDuel Value: 4.68
There's a chance Dwight Howard will be suspended tonight. Unless his technical foul from last night is rescinded, Howard will be facing a mandatory one-game ban for picking up 16 technical fouls.
If Howard is out, Kaminsky should be tasked with a bigger workload, making him a nice value option. Kaminsky played just 26 minutes last night, so he should be relatively rested. With Howard off the floor this season, Kaminsky is averaging 0.90 FanDuel points per minute on a 22.5% usage rate and 9.6% rebound rate.
If Howard is able to play, Kaminsky still has some appeal. In that scenario, a large number of people may flock to Howard as he comes off of the first 30-point, 30-rebound game since 2010. No one came blame you if you're among them, but if you're sticking to tournaments, Howard is worth a fade. He's playing on a back-to-back, having logged 34 minutes last night, and if his minutes are limited at all, the extra run should fall to Kaminsky.
Kaminsky may be popular if Howard is banned, but if Howard is able to play, Kaminsky becomes a sneaky-good option.
