Patty Mills, PG, San Antonio Spurs

FanDuel Price: $4,600

With Tony Parker out for the remainder of the playoffs, Patty Mills has been forced into a larger role for the San Antonio Spurs, and he has not disappointed. Counting Tuesday's overtime win against the Houston Rockets, Mills has averaged 33.7 minutes and 24.7 FanDuel points, which is just above the 23 fantasy points he needs to reach five-time his salary implied value (5 FanDuel points per $1,000 in salary) at this price.

Mills' success shouldn't come as much of a surprise. He showed he could be a productive fantasy asset with Parker sidelined this season, averaging 22.6 FanDuel points without him this season as opposed to 15.9 in games with him, per the RotoViz Game Splits App.

San Antonio likely won't be looking at quite as favorable of a game script when they return to Houston for Game 6 as when they scored 110 points at home in Game 5, but the favorable matchup should be enough to make up for it. No team on this slate has been worse against point guards than the Rockets, who allowed the sixth-most FanDuel points to opposing point guards during the regular season. Mills is one of the safest value plays on the board at any position and is a viable play in any format.
