Jeremy Lin, PG, Toronto Raptors

FanDuel Price: $3,600
Projected FanDuel Points: 18.6
Projected FanDuel Value: 5.16

While new Toronto Raptors point guard Jeremy Lin won't be getting the start tonight against the Cleveland Cavaliers, he could still see plenty of playing time. The 48-19 Raptors are solid 9.5-point favorites tonight as they travel to Ohio to take on the 16-50 Cavs.

Lin has seen a surprisingly large amount of run in a Raptors uniform, logging more than 20 minutes in five of his nine games for his new team. While that will surely decline when teammate Fred VanVleet returns from injury, that's at least a couple of weeks away, meaning Lin should continue to see solid run, especially in matchups like tonight -- where the Raptors could get up big and turn to the second unit.

Lin is coming off a 27.1-FanDuel-point performance in yesterday's blowout win over the Miami Heat. While repeating that type of outing here may be asking a lot, our models say he's in line to provide solid value. We project him for 18.6 DraftKings points tonight, a number he could easily surpass if Kyle Lowry and the first unit get out to a big lead.
