If you want a more expensive value option tonight, consider taking a chance on new Milwaukee Bucks forward Nikola Mirotic.
Mirotic's fantasy output has been all over the place since moving to his new team. He's gone back-and-forth with bad and good performances, but there has been one big positive throughout those games: his minutes have increased each time.
After receiving just 13 minutes in his first outing with the Bucks against the Boston Celtics, he jumped to 18, then 22, and finally 26 in the Bucks' most recent contest against the Sacramento Kings, in which he scored 21 points and added 8 boards on his way to 41.1 FanDuel points.
He's in another fantasy-friendly contest tonight against the Lakers, whom he's played well against in his career. He's scored over 32.0 FanDuel points in three of his past five meetings against them. In the games that he didn't, he played just 22 and 16 minutes, respectively. Given that he played 26 in his last game and his minutes have been on the uptick, he should easily surpass that level of playing time tonight.
We have Mirotic coming through with a solid 31.1 FanDuel points in 27.8 minutes of run this evening.
