3 NBA FanDuel Value Plays to Target on 2/12/19
Kentavious Caldwell-Pope has a juicy matchup against the Hawks' leaky defense. What other low-priced options are worth a roster spot in DFS?

Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, SG, Los Angeles Lakers

FanDuel Price: $3,600
Projected FanDuel Points: 19.9
Projected FanDuel Value: 5.53

Tuesday’s matchup between the Los Angeles Lakers and Atlanta Hawks is projected to be the highest-scoring game of the day. With the over/under set at 237 and the Lakers owning a slate-high 121.25 implied total, this game is one you will want some exposure to, especially on L.A. One of the cheapest ways to do so is to plug Kentavious Caldwell-Pope into your lineup.

KCP has played an average of over 25 minutes in his last eight games and is expected to see just as much on Tuesday with Josh Hart ruled out with a knee injury. Caldwell-Pope has thrived in the extra time too, as he has reached double-digit scoring in five of those eight games while averaging 1.0 steals per game. KCP has posted at least 18 FanDuel points in those games, which happens to be the total he needs to reach optimal -- five-times -- value on Tuesday.

The Hawks allow nearly 1.0 FanDuel points per minute to shooting guards, the highest-rate in the league this season, so KCP should have no problem paying off his low salary.
