Cory Joseph, PG, Indiana Pacers

FanDuel Price: $4,300
Projected FanDuel Points: 19.9
Projected FanDuel Value: 4.62

On the season, Cory Joseph is averaging just 18.3 FanDuel points over 25.6 minutes per game. For all but one game, he's played from the Indiana Pacers bench, and has been effective in that role. Last night, though, he had one of his worst games of the year, with two points, two rebounds and two assists in 26 minutes.

Because of his limited role and last night's stinker, Joseph's probably best kept to tournaments tonight, but a pair of recent games show us what his ceiling is. In back-to-back games on Sunday and Monday, he tallied 29.2 and 25.9 FanDuel points with 15.5 points per game on 66.7% shooting from the floor and three-point land.

The Pacers are on a back-to-back on Friday, and Joseph could get more burn because of it. Last night, Darren Collison logged nearly 36 minutes, so it wouldn't be out of the question for him to see fewer minutes in favor of Joseph at the point. The Los Angeles Lakers have given up the third-most FanDuel points per game to the position, bringing even more upside to any point guard seeing a healthy amount of playing time.
