Tyler Johnson, PG, Miami Heat

FanDuel Price: $4,600
Projected FanDuel Points: 23.1
Projected FanDuel Value: 5.03

As a backup combo-guard, Tyler Johnson's minutes and production are, by nature, hit-or-miss. But heading into tonight's matchup, he's a little more concrete as a value play. He's played 29-plus minutes in two of his last three games, with 31.0 and 25.7 FanDuel points in those two contests.

Last time out, Johnson and the Miami Heat were without big man Hassan Whiteside. Unfortunately, that will remain the case for now, directly benefiting Johnson when head coach Erik Spoelstra decides to go small. According to NBAWowy!, the 25-year-old is averaging 0.81 FanDuel points per minute without Whiteside compared to just 0.45 per minute with him on the floor.

He's projected to play over 30 minutes tonight, which should be more than enough for Johnson to reach value against the Charlotte Hornets.
