Mario Hezonja, SF, Orlando Magic

FanDuel Price: $4,800
Projected FanDuel Points: 19.8
Projected FanDuel Value: 4.13

As has been the case for the last two games, the Orlando Magic will be without both Evan Fournier and Aaron Gordon. Mario Hezonja should draw a 3rd straight start and 19th of the season. He's averaged around 30 minutes when starting, so Hezonja could be a chalky play, even in a matchup with the San Antonio Spurs.

The Hezonja love is justified. According to NBAWowy!, he's averaging 0.92 FanDuel points per minute with a 20.5% usage in the absence of Fournier and Gordon. That's led to him putting up 29.1 FanDuel points per game in a starting role for Orlando.

San Antonio's top-10 against small forwards despite missing Kawhi Leonard for most of the year. However, since the All-Star break, the Spurs' defense has given up 107.7 points per 100 possessions, compared to 101.9 (second in the league) prior to the break. Hezonja and the Magic are in a better spot than you might think.
