Vince Carter, SF, Memphis Grizzlies

FanDuel Price: $3,000
Projected FanDuel Points: 20.3
Projected FanDuel Value: 6.76

FanDuel has lowered the minimum price for shooting guards and small forwards to accomodate for the lack of value on this two-game slate, which leaves Vince Carter cheaper than your average minimum-priced player. Considering he played 28 minutes in Game 1 with Tony Allen sidelined, the $3,000 price tag seems a little low.

We don't normally make a habit out of rostering 40-year old players, but as Joe Johnson showed us on Saturday, there can be merit in trusting experienced veterans.

While Carter's per-minute averages don't jump off the page, he has shown the ability to crush value, with totals of 21.1, 27.3, and 31.6 FanDuel points in his past eight games. Our models agree that he is far too cheap for his current role, listing him as the best value play on the slate.
