FanDuel Price: $3,600
As we mentioned earlier, when digging for value on smaller slates, it's can be hard to find cheap plays with upside, so guys with a decent floor are more attractive than usual. Priced $100 above the minimum, Mike Scott fits that mold as he hasn't gone for more than 20 FanDuel points in any of his past six games.
Our projections really like him tonight, though, pegging him for 20.2 FanDuel points, which amounts to a value of 5.6 FanDuel points per $1,000 and makes him our models' second-best point-per-dollar value play (as of late Monday morning), behind only Carroll.
Working in Scott's favor is that he's seeing pretty good run lately, playing at least 20 minutes in 13 of his last 14 games, with three games of 30-plus minutes in that stretch. On a slate without many slam-dunk value options unless we get some unexpected injury news, Scott is a nice value play despite a tough matchup with the Orlando Magic.
