Eric Gordon, SG, Houston Rockets

FanDuel Price: $5,400
Projected FanDuel Points: 22.9
Projected FanDuel Value: 4.25

Eric Gordon has also seen his role improve over the past three games as the Houston Rockets have entrusted him with 34 minutes per game over that span. He has rewarded fantasy owners with a 28.3-FanDuel-point average during that stretch. In his past three games, Gordon has ranked third on the team with an average of 12.7 shot attempts while ranking second with six three-point attempts per game.

He should continue to occupy a big offensive role for the Rockets tonight, and Houston has the highest implied team total on the slate by a wide margin. This game also has the highest over/under by 26.5 points, so it is clearly the matchup we want to target.

Gordon should also benefit from the struggles the Oklahoma City Thunder have shown against shooting guards this season. In terms of FanDuel points allowed per game, shooting guard is OKC's worst position defended, and the only team on this slate to allow more points to two-guards is Gordon's Rockets.
