5 NBA FanDuel Value Plays to Target on 1/23/19
Facing the lowly Cavs, Jaylen Brown leads a pair of Celtics ready to cash in on Wednesday. What other low-priced options should you consider in NBA DFS tonight?

Aron Baynes, C, Boston Celtics

FanDuel Price: $3,700
Projected FanDuel Points: 23.4
Projected FanDuel Value: 6.33

Just like with Irving, the Celtics are giving center Al Horford the night off against the last-place Cavaliers on Wednesday. Similar to how Brown will see increased action in the backcourt, so will reserve big man Aron Baynes as the center will see likely start and an increase in playing time..

In the last four games -- his first since breaking his hand in mid-December -- Baynes is averaging just under 17 minutes per game. He has been productive in his time on the court, averaging 1.03 FanDuel points per minute. If Baynes can push 20 minutes on Wednesday, he can easily reach optimal value as he needs just 18.5 points at his cost of $3,700. The Cavs frontcourt will be shorthanded once again, as well, with Tristan Thompson and Larry Nance Jr. expected to remain out.

In the last three games without their top two big men, the Cavs own a lowly 44.8% rebound percentage and allow over 50.7 points in the paint per game, both bottom-six marks in the league.
