Projected FanDuel Value: 4.60
Since moving into the Brooklyn Nets’ starting lineup four games ago, Rodions Kurucs has been a reliable source of fantasy points for a low cost. The forward is posting 14.5 points, 5.3 rebounds, and 1.3 steals, and 1.0 blocks in 23.3 minutes per game. He finished with at least 22.9 Fanduel points in each game while averaging 27.1. That would be an exceptional value on Wednesday's limited six-game slate, as Kurucs would collect 5.9 FanDuel points per $1,000 of salary on Wednesday.
Kurucs is also averaging 1.16 FanDuel points per minute in his recent starting gig. With DeMarre Carroll sitting out, Kurucs has a shot to boost his playing time on Wednesday as well.
Caroll averages over 25 minutes per game with 59% of those minutes coming at power forward. It is a good bet that Kurucs will see a good portion of those minutes, allowing him to push 25 minutes in an expected high-scoring game versus the Oklahoma City Thunder. The matchup carries a state-high 231.5 over/under.
