Dwyane Wade, SG, Cleveland Cavaliers

FanDuel Price: $4,200
Projected FanDuel Points: 23.0
Projected FanDuel Value: 5.47

It's no secret that the Cleveland Cavaliers have been struggling. They're 1-4 and rate out as the NBA's worst team with a net rating of -14.4 in their last five. That prompted what is believed to be a heated team meeting, with some finger pointing reportedly in the direction of Kevin Love.

It's time for the Cavs to get things together, and they're probably going to rely on veteran leaders like LeBron James and Dwyane Wade to right the ship. If you're into narratives, that makes Wade an interesting play as he could be asked to play extended minutes in a matchup with the San Antonio Spurs.

Manu Ginobili has been ruled out for Tuesday, so Cleveland's sixth man should draw a lot of Bryn Forbes and other more inexperienced wing defenders. Forbes, in his second NBA season, is last on the Spurs with a defensive rating of 108. So long as Wade avoids Danny Green, there's no reason he can't fulfill our expectations as the top point-per-dollar value at the shooting guard spot.
