3 NBA FanDuel Value Plays to Target on 1/15/19
Tyreke Evans, SG, Indiana Pacers
FanDuel Price: $4,000
Projected FanDuel Points: 18.6
Projected FanDuel Value: 4.64
Over his last two games, Tyreke Evans has moved back in the Indiana Pacers' rotation, earning just under 21 minutes per game. The veteran hasn't wasted his time on the court, either, averaging 13.5 points, 4.5 rebounds, and 3.0 assists per game. He finished with more than 21 FanDuel points in both games, averaging 22.9 FanDuel points per night over those two. If Evans were able to average the same fantasy points against the Phoenix Suns on Tuesday, that would put him at 5.7 FanDuel points per $1,000 of salary, an exceptional value.
Darren Collison and Cory Joseph continue to nurse injuries, leaving both questionable to play for Indiana on Tuesday. Their ailments led Evans to a more significant role in the last two games. Add in a potential blowout -- Pacers are 10.5-point favorites -- and Evans is likely to see at least 20 minutes in a favorable matchup on Tuesday. In the 20 games in which Evans has played at least 20 minutes this season, he has averaged 12.4 points, 3.4 rebounds, 3.1 assists, and 1.4 steals per game.
Also, the Suns are allowing the second-most points per game (117.2) over their last 10, and it all adds up to Evans being worth a play on Tuesday night.
