Jeremy Lin, PG, Brooklyn Nets

FanDuel Price: $5,900

Why He Will Go Overlooked:

As discussed with Conley, point guard has plenty of solid options tonight. With Jeremy Lin still yet to crack 30 minutes since returning and in a middle-of-the-pack on-paper matchup, he will probably get lost in the mess of point guards.

Why You Should Use Him:

Is Linsanity back? It's probably premature to start talk like that, but he's scored at least 29 FanDuel points in three of his past four games and has scored 16-plus actual points in five of his past six. Tonight, he will return to the place where it all started, as Brooklyn heads to Madison Square Garden.

Narrative script aside, Lin is still in a good spot. He has maintained a team-high 29.5% usage rate over Brooklyn's past six games, per nbawowy.com, is coming off of a 34.9-FanDuel-point effort, and draws the individual defense of Derrick Rose.

While New York's numbers against point guards this season are so-so, Rose has been far from an average defender. He ranks 85th among qualified point guards in DRPM, and the only point guard still playing over 20 minutes a game with a worse DRPM than him is Isaiah Thomas.

Lin should be able to easily exceed value at this price point and is a viable play in all formats. Take advantage of his diminished salary and ownership while you still can.
