3 NBA FanDuel Value Plays to Target on 1/25/18

Nemanja Bjelica, SF, Minnesota Timberwolves

FanDuel Price: $4,500
Projected FanDuel Points: 10.7
Projected FanDuel Value: 2.37

If there's news that Jimmy Butler will sit out a fourth straight game for Minnesota, Nemanja Bjelica should start and present nice value once again. In the previous three games sans Butler, the 29-year-old Bjelica has turned in per-game averages of 11.7 points, 7.3 rebounds and 1.3 steals over 32.3 minutes. He's produced 20.2, 34.8 and 23.4 FanDuel points over that three-game span.

On Thursday, Bjelica's price is up to $4,500, but he's still in play at that cost. In his three spot starts, he's shooting 39.4% from the field and 35.7% from three -- both well below his season-long marks of 49.4% and 43.4%, respectively. In other words, he could be capitalizing on his opportunities at an even higher rate.

Tonight's matchup with the Golden State Warriors could be a tough one. Bjelica will face off with Kevin Durant or Klay Thompson, and the Timberwolves will have to be at their best to avoid blowout on the road and on the second night of a back-to-back. But if they keep it close, Bjelica could be a big reason why.
