3 NBA FanDuel Value Plays to Target on 3/25/19
DeMarre Carroll, SF, Brooklyn Nets
FanDuel Price: $4,100
While DeMarre Carroll doesn't offer huge upside, his cheap salary and respectable floor are more appealing on a small slate like this one. He's scoring 20.2 FanDuel points per game for the season, which is a tick below the 20.5 FanDuel points he needs tonight to hit five points per every $1,000 in salary.
He's seen a solid workload over his last three games, putting up 13, 10 and 13 shots in that span while twice playing at least 33 minutes (with 20 minutes in the other outing). Over his last five games, Carroll has logged a 19.38% usage rate. As a plus, Carroll started for the first time all year in the Nets' last game, though we'll have to see if the new role sticks for tonight.
The Portland Trail Blazers are giving up the ninth-most FanDuel points per game to small forwards for the season (41.76), and they've allowed 40.15 FanDuel points per game to small forwards over their past seven games.
Our models project Carroll to score 20.8 FanDuel points tonight in 25.28 minutes, and as of Monday morning, he's one of just eight players our models see going for five-times value today.
