Luke Kennard, SG, Detroit Pistons

FanDuel Price: $3,700
Projected FanDuel Points: 18.7
Projected FanDuel Value: 5.06

With Reggie Bullock doubtful to suit up on Tuesday for the Detroit Pistons, Luke Kennard is poised to step up and play big minutes, possibly starting, against the Milwaukee Bucks.

In the five games that Kennard has played at least 25 minutes this season, three of which have come this past month, he has averaged 14.8 points, 5.0 rebounds, and 2.4 assists for 25.4 FanDuel points per game. Two of those games came with Bullock out with injury.

While the matchup may seem daunting -- the Bucks own a top-five defensive rating -- Kennard is in the right spot to exploit one of Milwaukee’s few weaknesses. The Bucks rank in the middle of the pack in fantasy points per minute allowed to shooting guards (0.86) due to some poor perimeter defense. Opponents are sinking 36.1% of their threes, a top-10 rate in the NBA this season. Kennard ranks second on the Pistons (behind Bullock) with a 37.1% clip from beyond the arc.
