Luke Kornet, PF, New York Knicks

FanDuel Price: $4,500
Projected FanDuel Points: 34.4
Projected FanDuel Value: 7.65

As the New York Knicks' season winds down, Luke Kornet has become an exceptional play in DFS.

The power forward has started three of the last five games, playing at least 28.5 minutes in each of those starts. Kornet has thrived in a starting role as well, averaging 19.3 points, 7.0 rebounds, 1.3 steals, and 3.3 blocks per game. That has left him with over 40 Fanduel points in each game.

Tuesday Kornet should find his way back into the starting lineup against the Chicago Bulls as Lance Thomas and Noah Vonleh have both been ruled out while Mario Hezonja will be back running the point for the Knicks. That leaves little to no options up front for New York. Kornet played 35.8 minutes on Sunday and should see 30-plus again in a soft matchup with the Bulls.

The Bulls have allowed the fifth-most points (118.2) in the NBA since the All-Star break and the second-most blocks (6.2). When the two teams last played on April 1, Kornet racked up 24 points, 6 rebounds, and 3 blocks for 41.7 FanDuel points.
