Looking for a non-Adebayo way to take advantage of Whiteside missing tonight's game for the Heat? Consider using his teammate Kelly Olynyk, who has been playing well in his own right.
Olynyk's only averaging 22.1 FanDuel points per game in his starts compared to Adebayo's 34.2, but he's generally been playing alongside Whiteside when he has gotten the starting nod.
With Whiteside out of the way last night, Olynyk piled up 29.6 FanDuel points, in line with his season averages when Whiteside misses. Olynyk has averaged 28.1 FanDuel points in seven games without Whiteside and just 17.8 FanDuel points when they've played together.
Our models see him once again putting up big numbers tonight in what should be a tough matchup against the Rockets. We have him scoring 30.3 FanDuel points, returning a value of 5.5 points per $1,000.
