Reggie Jackson, PG, Detroit Pistons

FanDuel Price: $5,600
Projected FanDuel Points: 25.3
Projected FanDuel Value: 4.52

After two incredibly poor outings against the Brooklyn Nets and Miami Heat, Detroit Pistons point guard Reggie Jackson shook off whatever issues he was having and proceeded to score over 30.0 FanDuel points two games in a row. He'll have a chance to make it three as the Pistons take on the Cleveland Cavaliers tonight.

Jackon has faced the Cavs three time this season, scoring an average of 25.9 FanDuel points in just 22.1 minutes of court time, a solid ratio of 1.17 points per minute. While the workload leaves a lot to be desired, the Cavs should be able to keep this game close at home tonight.

Kevin Love should be playing tonight, barring something unforeseen. Since he returned from injury in February, the Cavs are 5-1 and outscoring opponents by 7.9 points at home when he plays. That includes wins over the Raptors and Magic. As such, it seems probable that Detroit plays their starters for a full workload tonight, including Jackson. We currently project him for 25.2 FanDuel points tonight.
