3 Daily Fantasy Basketball Value Plays for the Two-Day 5/11/17 and 5/12/17 Slate

Ryan Anderson, PF, Houston Rockets

FanDuel Price: $4,200
Projected FanDuel Points: 20.4
Projected FanDuel Value: 4.86

After back to back duds, Ryan Anderson bounced back in a big way in Game 5, playing a playoff-high 36 minutes and scoring 27.9 FanDuel points.

The move to the bench appeared to help Anderson, as he posted the the second-highest usage rate on the team (19.7%) and scored a playoff-high 19 points. With teammate Nene Hilario out for the remainder of the playoffs, coach Mike D'Antoni will likely continue to give Anderson heavy minutes off the bench, as Houston has no other reliable post who is an offensive threat.

Anderson's value lies largely with his scoring ability, and shooters can get cold at any time, especially when playing against the tough defense of the Spurs. His Game 3 performance (4.2 FanDuel points in 29 minutes) showed just how low his floor is if he isn't hitting his shots. However, Anderson also has the ability to crush value at this price tag (and value is just 21 FanDuel points) as he did in Games 1, 2 and 5. Keep the downside in mind if making multiple lineups, but do not ignore the upside he brings at his price point in tournaments.
