T.J. Warren, SF, Phoenix Suns

FanDuel Price: $6,600

Over the last four games, T.J. Warren has stepped up his output for the Phoenix Suns. In three of those games, he has posted at least 33 FanDuel points, averaging 33.9 fantasy points over the four contests. The small forward's shot attempts have increased to 14.8 attempts per game as he has scored 19.3 real-world points per game. Emerging as the Suns' second-best offensive weapon behind Devin Booker, Warren should be set up nicely for a big night against the dreadful defense of the Brooklyn Nets.

The tank-filled matchup between the Suns and Nets carries and over/under of 224.5 points, by far the highest scoring contest in Thursday's five-game slate. Both teams have shown an inability to slow down their opponents as they ranked 29th and 30th in points allowed for the season.

The Suns own the third-highest implied total of the night with 110.3 points. Using the Rotoviz game splits app, we can see that in the 38 games Warren has played with that high of a team total, he averages 24.61 FanDuel points. That is nearly 4.0 more fantasy points per night than Warren produces in lower-scoring affairs.

The Nets not only allow the most real-life points per night, they are also giving up the most fantasy points to opposing players at three positions, small forward included. When the two teams played last (on November 12th), Warren scored 18 points with 3 rebounds, 2 assists, 3 steals, 1 block, and 31.6 FanDuel points.
