5 NBA FanDuel Value Plays to Target for 2/8/18

Taurean Prince, SF, Atlanta Hawks

FanDuel Price: $4,500
Projected FanDuel Points: 23.5
Projected FanDuel Value: 5.22

Like most of the Atlanta Hawks , Taurean Prince's minutes have been up-and-down of late. In his last five, he's played as little as 24.6 minutes while playing as many as 32.2 four days ago. Tonight, though, he should be closer to the 30-minute mark with Marco Belinelli being held out during trade talks.

For Prince, minutes are a big deal. He's averaging just 0.81 FanDuel points per minute with a 19.7% usage on the year. But when he's gotten the minutes, he's been better than a $4,500 guy. In fact, when he's played between 30 and 39 minutes (which he's done 29 times), Prince has averaged 29.9 FanDuel points with a 20.1% usage and 59.5% true shooting percentage.

The matchup with the Orlando Magic is ideal. They're 25th against the position and have allowed small forwards to shoot 47% -- tied for fourth-worst in the NBA. There's also the chance that Jonathon Simmons sits, which could provide an added boost for Prince's fantasy appeal.
