Tyler Johnson, PG, Miami Heat

FanDuel Price: $4,000
Projected FanDuel Points: 24.7
Projected FanDuel Value: 6.17

There's not much value to be had at the point guard spot tonight. Players who have made for value options of late have either cooled off, lost minutes, or some combination of the two. Nevertheless, if you're looking to be contrarian in tournaments, you might want to go that route -- and if you do, the Miami Heat's Tyler Johnson is probably your best option.

Johnson sat out on Wednesday with an illness, but he had played at least 25 minutes in four straight games prior to that. In fact, of those four, he logged at least 29 in three of them. Granted, Dion Waiters was out for two of those contests, but Johnson has consistently played between 22 and 33 minutes off the Miami bench.

When the Heat have gone small to pick up the offensive pace, he's gotten a lot of run alongside other guards. Friday's matchup against the Utah Jazz isn't ideal, but Utah's defense has been more vulnerable this season than in years past and the Heat might just look to play a quicker tempo. That's where Johnson comes in as our top point-per-dollar play at his position.
