5 NBA FanDuel Value Plays to Target on 3/9/18

Shelvin Mack, PG, Orlando Magic

FanDuel Price: $3,700
Projected FanDuel Points: 16.6
Projected FanDuel Value: 4.47

Tonight, the Orlando Magic will be without Evan Fournier and Aaron Gordon, and they could also be without D.J. Augustin, who is questionable with an ankle injury. Shelvin Mack would be less appealing if Augustin were to suit up, but he's still in play regardless. When Orlando's battled injuries in the past, they've gone with a lot of two-point-guard sets, resulting in the two sharing the floor for a total of 291 minutes in 29 games.

In the time the two have spent together, Mack has averaged a respectable 0.77 FanDuel points per minute, according to NBAWowy!. But, when you look at his splits with Fournier and Gordon off, that number jumps to 0.83 FanDuel points per minute, accompanied by an 18.8% usage and 29.7% assist rate. That should prove to be particularly valuable if Augustin's out, or at least when he's on the sidelines for a breather.

For a guy like Mack, this isn't the best spot to be in. The Sacramento Kings play at a slower pace (28th) and are in the middle of the pack against point guards this season. At or below $4,000, though, the combo-guard has averaged 24.4 FanDuel points per game when playing at least 24 minutes this season.
