Goran Dragic, PG, Miami Heat
FanDuel Price: $4,100
Projected FanDuel Points: 23.5
Projected FanDuel Value: 5.74
If you want to take a bit of a risk tonight, then consider using Miami Heat (yes, another Heat player) point guard Goran Dragic. The veteran player is just two games removed from an extended injury absence, but he proved last night that he is already ready to help push the team into the Eastern Conference playoffs.
Dragic's minutes were once again limited last night -- he played just 20 -- but he was still able to lead the Heat in scoring with 27, padded by a 9-for-9 night from the free throw line.
There is certainly a chance he's held out tonight on the second night of a back-to-back, but the Heat could clearly use him in a tough away game against the Rockets. If he does play, our models have him projected for 23.5 FanDuel points, a return of just over 5.7 points per $1,000.
