Projected FanDuel Points: 25.8
Projected FanDuel Value: 6.45
A G-League veteran who has played only 26 games (8 with the New York Knicks this season) in his two-year NBA career, Kadeem Allen has broken out over his last two contests as he showing his offensive might for the offensively challenged Knicks.
In his last two games, Allen has dropped 19.5 points, 3.5 rebounds, and 6.0 assists in 30.0 minutes per game. He has been on fire, shooting 55.6% from the field and sinking 3-of-5 three-pointers while posting a 22.6% usage rate. His fantasy numbers have been tournament winners in the two contests, as Allen has dropped 33.8 and 39.6 FanDuel points while costing the minimum. While his salary has risen to $4,000, Allen still only needs 20.0 FanDuel points to reach optimal value on Wednesday. As he faces the Philadelphia 76ers, Allen needs to play just 22.0 minutes to score 5.0 FanDuel points per $1,000 of salary if he racks up fantasy points at the 0.91 FanDuel points per minute the Sixers allow to point guards.
With the Sixers giving up at least 110 points in each of their last five games, Allen is poised to keep the hot streak going on Wednesday.
