3 NBA FanDuel Value Plays to Target on 11/15/18

P.J. Tucker, PF, Houston Rockets

FanDuel Price: $4,800
Projected FanDuel Points: 26.3
Projected FanDuel Value: 5.48

Thursday's premier national TV matchup is a Western Conference showdown between the Houston Rockets and Golden State Warriors. Neither team is at full strength, with Stephen Curry sitting for Golden State, and for Houston, Gary Clark (hip) and Gerald Green (ankle) questionable. That could potentially lead to 40-plus minutes -- that's no stretch -- for P.J. Tucker.

With Clark logging 15 minutes last time out, Tucker still saw 40.8 minutes. In the two games prior, he played 38.5 and 39.8, respectively, as Mike D'Antoni shortened his rotations absent Carmelo Anthony. Following a 10.4-FanDuel-point dud on Saturday, Tucker turned it up with 17.0 fantasy points on Sunday and a much nicer 27.2 FanDuel points on Tuesday.

As a team, the Warriors are surrendering a cool 48.43 FanDuel points per 48 minutes to power forwards, where Tucker's played 54% of his minutes this season, according to Basketball Reference. That efficiency boost should serve him well in a game in which the Rockets are expected to score more than 110 points on their home floor. And Tucker is an even better play if you're trying to stack this game entirely.
