5 NBA FanDuel Value Plays to Target on 2/21/19
Boban Marjanovic is due for an uptick in minutes with Joel Embiid sidelined. Which other low-cost players can help fill out your DFS lineups?

Enes Kanter, C, Portland Trail Blazers

FanDuel Price: $4,000
Projected FanDuel Points: 19.3
Projected FanDuel Value: 4.03

You may have noticed that Enes Kanter's above image does not reflect his new uniform. Mea culpa. That should soon change, however, as we get our first glimpse of the former Knick in a Portland Trail Blazers uniform tonight.

Kanter, as it so happens, won't be that far from his old stomping grounds tonight when the Blazers are in New York to take on the Brooklyn Nets. Kanter couldn't have asked for a better matchup in his new uniform.

The big man has scored at least 25.0 FanDuel points in seven of the past eight meetings against the Nets. In that stretch, he's averaging 34.8 FanDuel points in just 23.8 minutes per game, a whopping 1.46 FanDuel points per minute.

Now, we certainly don't know how much run Terry Stotts will allot him tonight, but it's safe to say that his playing time is going to be more consistent than when David Fizdale was giving him the runaround and DNP-CDs on the regular. Even if he receives only around 20 minutes tonight, it would be enough for him to do damage in this matchup, especially considering his $4,800 price tag. It's true that you'd be taking a bit of a risk by using Kanter this evening, but since when were big rewards handed out without risk? He's worth a roll of the dice.
