5 NBA FanDuel Value Plays for 11/7/17

Denzel Valentine, SF, Chicago Bulls

FanDuel Price: $4,200
Projected FanDuel Points: 20.8
Projected FanDuel Value: 4.95

The presence of Giannis Antetokounmpo and LeBron James in a head-to-head matchup should be enticing at small forward. If you want to roster one of them, though, you might have to spend down at your other spot at the position. Denzel Valentine can help you do that, but he might just surprise you with some upside.

In four of his last five games, Valentine has played at least 23 minutes and reached five-times value. On three occasions, he did one better and reached six-times value. His price tag has ranged from $3,900 to $4,600, but his role seems to have gotten a bump. With David Nwaba exiting early, Valentine produced 27.7 FanDuel points in nearly 35 minutes of work on Saturday night. Since then, Nwaba has been ruled out for 2-to-4 weeks and Paul Zipser was announced as the team's starting small forward. Nevertheless, Zipser is averaging just 25 minutes per game as a starter, which means there should be decent minutes left for Valentine off the bench
