5 NBA FanDuel Value Plays to Target on 1/29/19
Rondae Hollis-Jefferson, PF, Brooklyn Nets
FanDuel Price: $4,400
Projected FanDuel Points: 22.6
Projected FanDuel Value: 5.13
Rondae Hollis-Jefferson has been stricken with injuries this season, forcing him into a reserve role for the Brooklyn Nets in five of his last six games played. The reduced minutes -- 18 or fewer in six of his last eight -- have caused his salary to plummet down to $4,200 on Tuesday.
However, after RHJ racked up more than 23 minutes in each of the previous two games, including one start, it is time to cash in before his price tag inevitably rises.
In those last two games, the Nets' forward has averaged 12.0 points, 8.0 rebounds, 3.0 assists, and 1.0 blocks in 25.0 minutes. Hollis-Jefferson finished with at least 24.9 FanDuel points in each game. That would bring 5.7 FanDuel points per $1,000 at his cost on Tuesday.
On top of that, Hollis-Jefferson's production has been held back in the two games as he is struggling with shot (37.9%). It's not for lack of trying, though, as he is hoisting up nearly 15 attempts per game the last two times out. If he can sink more of his shots against the lowly Chicago Bulls -- who rank 23rd in defensive rating and allow opponents to shoot 46.5% from the field -- RHJ will easily bring value tonight.
