Michael Carter-Williams, PG, Chicago Bulls

FanDuel Price: $4,900

Why He Will Go Overlooked:

Michael Carter-Williams will likely get some attention as a value play if Wade does end up sitting out again, but even in that situation, Bradley Beal and Marcus Smart appear to be the chalk at shooting guard today.

Why You Should Use Him:

Dwyane Wade is still listed as questionable for this one, but it wouldn't make much sense for Chicago to force him back for one game with the All-Star break right around the corner. If Wade ends up sitting out again, Carter-Williams will likely be looking at an expanded role.

Carter-Williams displayed big-time upside with both Wade and Butler out of the lineup, with totals of 40.2 and 43.8 FanDuel points, and he was able to retain some of that value in Butler's return to the floor. MCW started, played 29 minutes and scored 21.5 FanDuel points against the Toronto Raptors in Chicago's last game.

Tonight, assuming Wade is still out, he should be looking at nearly 30 minutes against the Boston Celtics. Boston has struggled against guards this season with Avery Bradley out of the lineup, allowing the 7th-most FanDuel points per game to opposing point guards and the 15th-most to shooting guards.

Carter-Williams' all-around game provides him with the ability to really fill up the stat sheet if given significant run. If Wade is out again tonight, Carter-Williams could see enough playing time to hit value at his price tag.
