5 NBA FanDuel Value Plays to Target on 3/5/19
The 76ers are shorthanded tonight, making Mike Scott a worthy value option. Which other low-priced players should you consider in NBA DFS?

Mike Scott, PF, Philadelphia 76ers

FanDuel Price: $4,500
Projected FanDuel Points: 23.4
Projected FanDuel Value: 5.20

Over his last four games, Mike Scott has seen a bump in his workload for the Philadelphia 76ers due to the absences of Joel Embiid and Boban Marjanovic.

The lack of depth at center has forced the Sixers to play more small-ball lineups, with Scott seeing a least 29 minutes in three of his last four games. The extra time on the court has not been wasted as Scott has averaged 14.5 points, 3.3 rebounds, and 0.5 blocks in 28.5 minutes per game. He finished with at least 20 FanDuel points in three of the contests and is coming off a season-high 22 real-world points against the Golden State Warriors. He finished with 28.8 FanDuel points in that one.

With Embiid and Boban out again on Tuesday and Jonah Bolden a question mark due to an illness, Scott is poised to see plenty of run on Tuesday, making him a top-five point-per-dollar value option, according to our models, on this small six-game slate.
