Bonzie Colson, SF, Milwakee Bucks

FanDuel Price: $3,500
Projected FanDuel Points: 11.8
Projected FanDuel Value: 3.37

This suggestion comes with a pretty major caveat: the availability of Giannis Antetokounmpo. The Bucks are three games ahead of the Toronto Raptors with just five games to play. As such, it would take an epic collapse at this point to lose the number-one seed in the Eastern Conference.

The Bucks know this and are taking advantage by resting their best player on occasion. When they did so yesterday, we got to see the potential of another player: Bonzie Colson.

Colson -- who had played no more than three minutes in any of his previous four appearances this season -- started and played 41 minutes in a 136-135 overtime loss to the Atlanta Hawks on Sunday. He finished with 15 points, 16 rebounds, and an incredible 42.2 FanDuel points.

The Bucks can't just lose their last five games, of course, so Giannis may start tonight against the Nets. If he does, forget about Colson for the time being. If Giannis does sit out one more game, Bonzie is in the mix with Walt Lemon for the best potential point-per-dollar return of the night.
