PJ Tucker, PF, Houston Rockets

FanDuel Price: $4,500
Projected FanDuel Points: 23.5
Projected FanDuel Value: 5.22

Looking for a cheap, reliable play for your lineups this evening? Look no further than Houston Rockets forward P.J. Tucker.

The veteran, who spent much of his early career playing in overseas leagues, has played in all 57 games for the Rockets this season, averaging a career-high 35.4 minutes in the process. While he's certainly not the most efficient fantasy player -- he's averaging just 22.4 FanDuel points in that massive amount of run -- he makes up for it in consistency.

Tucker has scored 20-plus FanDuel points in eight-straight and 17 of his past 19 games. While he might take a bit of a hit tonight with the return of Clint Capela, it likely won't be that drastic -- he's still averaging 21.2 FanDuel points when the big man plays.

Our models have Tucker continuing his consistent -- if not eye-popping -- play tonight. We project him for 23.5 FanDuel points, a return of 5.22 points per $1,000.
