Marco Belinelli, SG, Atlanta Hawks

FanDuel Price: $4,000
Projected FanDuel Points: 18.6
Projected FanDuel Value: 4.64

The Atlanta Hawks are undergoing somewhat of a youth movement in recent weeks, which has forced Marco Belinelli to the side for extended periods of time. In fact, the 31-year-old hasn't played more than 28.5 minutes since November 20th and, as a result, has only tallied 25 or more FanDuel points just three times in the nine games since.

It's hard to ignore his lack of minutes and production, but Belinelli's one of the few cheap shooting guards in a good spot tonight. While the Cleveland Cavaliers are11-point favorites against the Hawks, the Hawks have proven themselves to be worthy adversaries so far in 2017. In two matchups, Atlanta won one and lost the other by a margin of just seven points. Combine that with the Cavs' growing injury report and their season-long vulnerability at shooting guard (41.2 FanDuel points allowed per game) and you get a sneaky play in the sharpshooting vet.
