5 NBA FanDuel Value Plays to Target on 1/23/19

Mitchell Robinson, C, New York Knicks

FanDuel Price: $4,400
Projected FanDuel Points: 15.9
Projected FanDuel Value: 3.60

After missing over a month with a groin injury, Mitchell Robinson has played a total of just 25.5 minutes in two games. Despite the limited action, the New York Knicks' big man has racked up 12 points, 8 rebounds, and 3 blocks for a total of 35.1 FanDuel points. That comes out to an impressive 1.38 FanDuel points per minute. While we don’t expect that same kind of efficiency on Wednesday, Robinson is in line for an increased workload as Luke Kornet will be out with an ankle injury.

While Enes Kanter is getting the starting nod at center, Robinson will undoubtedly see closer to 20 minutes of action as Kanter’s primary backup. In the 11 games this season that Robinson has logged at least 18 minutes, he has averaged 24.2 FanDuel points. The rookie also gets a generous matchup against the depleted frontcourt of the Houston Rockets.

In the four games they have played without Clint Capela, Houston's undersized frontcourt has allowed the fifth-most blocks (6.5) and the most rebounds per game (52.8). The Rockets are also giving up the most points in the paint (62.0), leaving plenty of easy baskets, and fantasy points, for Robinson on Wednesday.
