3 Daily Fantasy Basketball Value Plays for 4/25/17

Steven Adams, C, Oklahoma City Thunder

FanDuel Price: $5,300
Projected FanDuel Points: 26.8
Projected FanDuel Value: 5.06

Steven Adams has had the easiest on-paper matchup of any center on his slate pretty much all playoffs as the Rockets have allowed the fifth-most FanDuel points to opposing centers this season, so it was surprising to see him put up subpar performances in the first three games of the series. Well, he did not disappoint in Game 4, putting up 35.4 FanDuel points and playing a series-high 37 minutes.

With coach Billy Donovan almost completely removing Enes Kanter from the rotation, Adams should be expected to continue to shoulder a heavy load for a Thunder team with their backs against the wall.

In addition to having the best matchup of any center on this slate, Adams should benefit from positive game script as the Thunder are the only team on the slate that is expected to exceed their season scoring average.

Our projections have Adams as one of the best values of the night, listing him as one of just a handful of players to reach 5 FanDuel points per $1,000 in salary. His cost is cheap enough that it won't be too hard for him to reach that projection, and he showed the ability to crush value in his last game. He is a viable play in any format tonight.
