Bradley Beal, SG, Washington Wizards

FanDuel Price: $7,700

Bradley Beal disappointed last night from a fantasy perspective, but it wasn't for lack of offense, as the shooting guard remained scorching hot -- dropping 27 points on 50% shooting. He's now averaging 28 points and 38.6 FanDuel points since the All-Star break and should be able to continue his career season tonight in a terrific matchup against the Denver Nuggets.

Denver ranks dead last in defensive efficiency, and the Washington Wizards are expected to outscore their season scoring average by five points as a result. Their 112.25point implied team total ranks fourth on the slate, and the 226-point over/under in this game is the highest among tonight's games.

Beal has played much better in positive game scripts this season, averaging 40.3 FanDuel points when Washington has been projected for at least 111 points, as opposed to 30.1 in all other games.

The Nuggets have allowed opponents to shoot 37.8% from downtown against them, which is the fourth-worst mark in the league. Beal should be able to stay hot from beyond the arc, and assuming he can contribute in other categories, another huge game could be in store. He's a viable play in all formats.
