5 NBA FanDuel Value Plays to Target on 2/21/19

Nikola Mirotic, SF, Milwaukee Bucks

FanDuel Price: $5,500
Projected FanDuel Points: 31.7
Projected FanDuel Value:5.56

Another player in a mismatched uniform? Sheesh. My photo game has got to take a step up. In my defense, Nikola Mirotic -- like Kanter -- has not played a minute in his new uniform yet. That is set to change tonight.

The Milwaukee Bucks play host to the Boston Celtics this evening in a matchup of two of the top four teams in the Eastern Conference, both of whom will be very close to full strength this evening. The teams have split their previous two meetings this season, both high-scoring affairs that were played in Boston.

Tonight's game has a total set at 227.5 points. While that somewhat surprisingly makes it only the fourth-highest total on tonight's six-game slate, it implies a solid fantasy environment nonetheless.

Mirotic has faced the Celtics 14 times in his career, averaging just under one FanDuel point per minute in that time. All he needs are the minutes. Given that he was not limited in practice yesterday, that might not be much of an issue. Barring any setbacks, the former Pelican should step in and play 25 to 30 minutes per game off the Bucks' bench, which is exactly the range we project for him tonight. We have him taking advantage and scoring 31.7 FanDuel points, making him one of our highest-projected value plays of the night.
