5 NBA FanDuel Value Plays to Target on 11/5/18
Jerami Grant, PF, Oklahoma City Thunder
FanDuel Price: $4,900
Projected FanDuel Points: 24.5
Projected FanDuel Value: 4.99
Jerami Grant is coming off his best game of the year -- one in which he put up 40.8 FanDuel points and a career-high 22 points in a 23-point Oklahoma City Thunder win. Even more importantly, his 34 minutes are the most he's played since logging 37 a week ago against Phoenix.
In years past, Grant has been a boom-or-bust DFS play, but he's getting a solid 29.6 minutes per game -- not to mention five straight starts -- with Carmelo Anthony gone and Patrick Patterson his biggest competition. We project him for 26-plus minutes in an extremely high total game against the Pels, who sit 24th against power forwards.
The big upside for Grant stems from New Orleans' fifth-fastest pace (104.8) and the fact that they're being hit up for 120.6 points a night (29th). We could see a repeat of Friday's performance tonight.
