Jeremy Lamb, SG, Charlotte Hornets

FanDuel Price: $4,500
Projected FanDuel Points: 26.5
Projected FanDuel Value: 5.89

Jeremy Lamb comes off a great game entering Wednesday night. With the Charlotte Hornets absent the services of Michael Kidd-Gilchrist on Monday, Lamb was asked to step up and play nearly 27 minutes. In that time, he went for 18 points on 7-of-12 shooting and 3-of-6 from three, ending the night with 33 FanDuel points at a value of 7.17 points per $1,000.

Kidd-Gilchrist is expected back, so Lamb isn't quite as appealing as he was just two days ago. He's still a key part of the Hornets' nightly scoring effort, though. On the year, he's averaging 14.1 points and 25.7 FanDuel points per game, with an average of 24.4 FanDuel points and 23.2 minutes over 30 games as a reserve. And he's not far removed from averaging 25.1 FanDuel points across Wednesday and Saturday's games.

At his price, Lamb is still a very relevant option off the bench. In this matchup, he's even more enticing. Playing in a game with the highest over/under on the slate, the Hornets' implied total of 112.75 points leads all 18 teams in play tonight.
