5 NBA FanDuel Value Plays to Target on 1/12/18

Jeremy Lamb, SG, Charlotte Hornets

FanDuel Price: $4,800
Projected FanDuel Points: 23.5
Projected FanDuel Value: 4.89

Jeremy Lamb's no longer starting in place of injured teammates, but he has continued to be a valuable bench player for the Charlotte Hornets. On the year, he's averaging 13.5 points, 4.3 rebounds, and 2.1 assists in a reserve role. In fact, he has a nearly identical usage and shoots slightly better when coming off the bench.

With both Nicolas Batum and Michael Kidd-Gilchrist healthy, Lamb's been forced to embrace his role as a bench scorer, and he's taken full advantage recently. In his last five games, he's scored at least 11 points in each while contributing 4.2 rebounds, 2.6 assists, and 1.8 steals per game in the way of peripherals. The result has been an average of 28.1 FanDuel points, with three games of five-times value and another of six-times value.

After being listed at $6,100 just a week ago, Lamb's down in price coming off a down game and entering a matchup with the slower-paced Utah Jazz. That's definitely enough to keep him from being cash-game worthy, but it makes Lamb a very appealing tournament option at the shooting guard slot.
