Projected FanDuel Value: 6.26
In what has been confirmed as Dirk Nowitzki's final game of his illustrious NBA career, the Dallas Mavericks’ legend makes for a nice play tonight.
On Tuesday, his final home game, the Mavericks let the big man fire off 31 shots in 32.7 minutes as he recorded 30 points against the Phoenix Suns. He finished with eight rebounds, three assists, one block, and a season-high 45.1 FanDuel points. Facing the rival San Antonio Spurs tonight, it is only fitting for the Mavs to let Dirk run the show and try to replicate his 40.7% usage rate from last night, especially if Luka Doncic sits out.
Carrying an appropriate price tag of $4,141 on Wednesday, Dirk needs just 20.7 FanDuel points to reach ideal value (5.0 FanDuel points per $1,000 of salary). The future Hall of Famer has pulled the feat off nine times this season, all coming since the All-Star break, including three times in his last six games.
While there is the chance of a reduced workload, due to the hefty amount of minutes last night, Nowitzki plans to play on Wednesday. And if he suits up, he is worth one final play in DFS.
