Josh Okogie, SG, Minnesota Timberwolves

FanDuel Price: $3,700
Projected FanDuel Points: 15.9
Projected FanDuel Value: 4.31

The Oklahoma City Thunder-Minnesota Timberwolves game on Tuesday carries the highest over/under of the six games tonight, meaning you will want to have as many options in that game as possible. One of the lower-priced players who can not only help fit some studs into your lineup but also produce well is Josh Okogie.

The rookie swingman is in line to see an uptick in minutes on Tuesday with Luol Deng ruled out for Minnesota. In three of the last four games, Okogie has logged at least 25 minutes. Deng sat in the last two contests, and Okogie saw 25 and 12 minutes in those games.

He has seen at least 25 minutes in eight of his last 11 games and has finished with at least 16.8 FanDuel points in six of those eight contests. For the season, when Okogie plays at least 25 minutes (29 times), he's collected at least 16.5 FanDuel points in 18 of those games (62%).

Helping his case on Tuesday is how the Thunder have struggled to reign in opposing shooting guards this year. They are giving up 0.94 FanDuel points per minute to the position, the third-highest rate in the NBA this season.
