Cheick Diallo, PF, New Orleans Pelicans

FanDuel Price: $4,100
Projected FanDuel Points: 17.1
Projected FanDuel Value: 4.17

With Anthony Davis remaining out and Julius Randle another game-time decision on Wednesday, Cheick Diallo is in line to continue seeing significant minutes and racking up the fantasy points in New Orleans.

Over his last two games, Diallo has played over 22 minutes per game, finishing with over 32 FanDuel points in each contest. He averaged 12.5 points, 11.1 rebounds, 1.0 steals, and 1.0 blocks against two tough frontcourts in the Pacers and Spurs. If Randle sits, Diallo is in line for another big game in a much softer spot against the Bulls.

The Bulls rank 21st in the NBA as they allow 0.99 FanDuel points per minute to opposing power forwards. They haven’t fared much better against centers, either -- where Diallo plays one-third of his minutes -- giving up the fifth-most FanDuel points per minute to the position. Add in the Bulls posting a bottom-four rebound percentage this season, and Diallo makes a great value option -- just keep an eye on Randle's status for Wednesday.
