Malcolm Brogdon, SG, Milwaukee Bucks

FanDuel Price: $4,800
Projected FanDuel Points: 24.7
Projected FanDuel Value: 5.15

The Milwaukee Bucks are 4-6 over their last 10 games and, understandably, Jason Kidd has been under fire for some questionable decision-making. He has been changing up his rotations for the benefit of Giannis Antetokounmpo, but playing guys like Matthew Dellavedova and Jason Terry extended minutes with Malcolm Brogdon losing playing time them seems to be a stretch. If last game is any indication, Kidd might have figured that out.

On Monday against the Toronto Raptors, Brogdon played more than 39 minutes, with nearly 15 of those coming in small-ball lineups including Giannis, Khris Middleton and Eric Bledsoe. Milwaukee lost a close one in overtime on the road -- if there are moral victories in sports, that was one of them.

Kidd should probably stick with the guard-heavy lineup tonight. Against an Indiana Pacers team allowing an average of 107.8 points over the last four games, Brogdon is a top-3 point-per-dollar play at the position.
