DraftKings Price: $4,200
San Antonio Spurs small forward Rudy Gay has already been ruled out for tonight's game against the Miami Heat. While Davis Bertans might get the start for him, Marco Belinelli might be a bigger beneficiary from a fantasy standpoint.
Belinelli has been steady with or without Gay on the court this season. He's scored at least 21 DraftKings points in four straight games and in six of his past seven, scoring at least 13 actual points in each of those six games.
The Spurs will also be without Pau Gasol. While this doesn't impact Belinelli as much as Gay's absence does, Belinelli could end up seeing more run if Pop and the Spurs decide to roll out smaller lineups.
He's rarely a guy who will win a tournament for you, but he's often a guy who will put up a solid floor and help build a solid foundation for your cash teams given the right circumstances. We project him for 20.4 DraftKings points tonight with upside for 32.5.
