3 Daily Fantasy Basketball Value Plays for the Two-Day 5/9/17 and 5/10/17 Slate
Patty Mills is seeing more time with Tony Parker out, and he has a nice matchup against Houston. Which other low-cost plays are in a good spot?

Marcin Gortat, C, Washington Wizards

FanDuel Price: $5,300

Marcin Gortat played limited minutes in the last Washington Wizards' game due to Washington holding a 22-point lead heading into the fourth quarter. In the seven games in which he has seen his normal minute load during these playoffs, Gortat has averaged 33.9 FanDuel points and 36 minutes. In the three games prior to Sunday's blowout, Gortat averaged 36.8 FanDuel points.

He also has one of the best matchups on the slate as the Boston Celtics allowed the 10th-most FanDuel points to opposing centers this season. They also are the worst rebounding team in the playoffs, ranking 26th in rebounding rate this year, and the Celtics had their shots blocked more than any playoff team.

Gortat and Pau Gasol will likely be the two most popular center value plays on the board, but with Gasol receiving a $1,000 price spike since his last game, Gortat's price tag stands out at just $5,300. He is a viable option in any format.
