Marco Belinelli, SG, Atlanta Hawks

FanDuel Price: $3,900
Projected FanDuel Points: 17.5
Projected FanDuel Value: 4.49

With pricing getting a little tight on FanDuel, bench guys make up the majority of options below $5,000. One of those more productive options in limited minutes is Marco Belinelli, who -- like Rozier -- is riding a little heater of his own lately.

For the better part of two weeks, Belinelli wasn't getting consistent playing time and slumped to 42% shooting, including 32.4% from three. Of all things, though, it looks like Christmas has brought Belinelli back to life. Since the team's three-day holiday break, the 31-year-old is averaging 15.8 points while hitting 55.8% of his shots from the field and 46.7% from three-point land. He's added little in the way of peripherals, but the scoring's been enough to get him at least 20.5 FanDuel points in each game and, in doing so, return more than five points per $1,000.

During this stretch, Belinelli's averaged 22.5 minutes with no fewer than 20 in any of the veteran's last four contests. He should continue to operate in that role against a Portland Trail Blazers team allowing an average of 115.3 points and 13.5 three-point makes over their last four games.
