Marcin Gortat, C, Washington Wizards

FanDuel Price: $5,100
Projected FanDuel Points: 24.3
Projected FanDuel Value: 4.76

Marcin Gortat saw his minutes limited down the stretch of the regular season, as the Washington Wizards already had a playoff spot locked up and instead opted to give Ian Mahinmi more run. Well, Mahinmi has already been declared out for both Game 2 and 3, and Gortat saw 31 minutes in Game 1, so he should be expected to continue to see plenty of court time tonight.

While a matchup against Dwight Howard and the Atlanta Hawks isn't ideal, Gortat's Wizards have one of the best game scripts on the slate, as they have the third-highest implied team total (108.25 points), and this game is the most likely to be competitive, with just a 5.5-point spread.

Gortat is likely to be one, if not the most popular center option on tonight's slate, and for good reason. His price reflects the limited role he played to close the season, not the 30-plus minute role he currently occupies. He is a viable salary-saving option in all formats.
