3 NBA FanDuel Studs to Target on 3/27/19

Jonas Valanciunas, C, Memphis Grizzlies

Price: $8,400

On the other end of that same game, the Grizzlies aren't without appeal. Even as 10.5-point underdogs, their 103.5 total is above their season scoring average and more than they've tallied in 41 of their 74 games (55.4%). And it might be selling this Memphis team short, as they've averaged 113.0 points per game this month and 113.2 in their six home games (they've won five) during that time.

Jonas Valanciunas has played as big a role as any in the Grizzlies' recent winning ways. The big man is averaging 19.6 points, 10.5 rebounds and 1.7 blocks in March, and those numbers have only gone up with Joakim Noah and other frontcourt mates sidelined. In the last four games, Valanciunas is up to 23.5 points, 16.8 rebounds, 2.3 blocks and 2.0 assists, all for 49.9 FanDuel points in 33.9 minutes a game.

As we alluded to, a number of Grizzlies could or are expected to be sidelined this evening in Memphis. Of them, the absence of Conley and Jaren Jackson Jr. could lead to a more productive night from JV. In 155 minutes without the two, he has averaged 1.39 FanDuel points with a 27.4% usage rate, per NBA Wowy. At that rate, he would need to see just 30.2 minutes to get you 5-times value at this price.
