5 NBA FanDuel Value Plays to Target on 3/12/19
In a slate chock-full of value, T.J. McConnell leads the way as he faces the Cavaliers. What other low-priced options are worth a play on Tuesday's DFS slate?

Marco Belinelli, SG, San Antonio Spurs

FanDuel Price: $3,900
Projected FanDuel Points: 21.5
Projected FanDuel Value: 5.50

The absence of Rudy Gay, the San Antonio Spurs' third-leading scorer, leaves a hole open in the offense that Marco Belinelli is expected to fill. In the last six games Gay has missed, Belinelli's minutes have risen to nearly 26 minutes per night. In all six games, he finished with at least 19 FanDuel points and eclipsed 23 in four of them.

Belinelli scored double-digit points in each game and is coming off a 16-point night where he took 14 shots against the Milwaukee Bucks on Sunday. When he plays at least 25 minutes, which he is almost assured to do on Tuesday, he averages over 11 shots per game, leaving him in a favorable spot against the Dallas Mavericks.

Facing a soft Dallas Mavericks defense on Tuesday will help the veteran sharpshooter achieve value in DFS as the Mavs rank in the bottom third of the NBA in FanDuel points per minute allowed to shooting guards. Dallas has also started to tank hard since the All-Star break, ranking last in the NBA with a 116.4 defensive rating in their last nine games.
