5 NBA FanDuel Value Plays to Target on 3/12/19

Ryan Arcidiacono, PG, Chicago Bulls

FanDuel Price: $3,500
Projected FanDuel Points: 21.0
Projected FanDuel Value: 6.00

Also benefiting from the absence of LaVine on Tuesday is Bulls’ point guard Ryan Arcidiacono. On Sunday, Arcidiacono got the start in place of LaVine and played over 26 minutes. The point guard has been consistently used as a fill-in starter for the Bulls whenever Kris Dunn or LaVine have been sidelined with an injury, as Sunday was Arcidiacono’s 27th start of the year.

In those 27 games, he has averaged a respectable 7.3 points, 3.4 rebounds, and 3.8 assists per game for 19.4 FanDuel points a night. With Arcidiacono costing the minimum on Tuesday, that would bring 5.5 Fanduel points per $1,000 of salary, an excellent value.

Add in a favorable matchup against the Lakers, who have allowed the second-most Fanduel points per minute to shooting guards and an above average rate to point guards, and Arcidiacono is an exceptional punt play on Tuesday. Our models agree, leaving the point guard as a top-four value option.
