3 NBA FanDuel Value Plays to Target on 3/14/18

Bam Adebayo, PF, Miami Heat

FanDuel Price: $4,300
Projected FanDuel Points: 17.2
Projected FanDuel Value: 4.01

After popping up with a hip strain, Hassan Whiteside has been forced to sit out the last two games for the Miami Heat. He suggested that he might not play Wednesday, and he's listed in the game notes as out at this very moment. That would, in all likelihood, lead to a third straight start for Bam Adebayo.

Over the last two, Adebayo has played 17.7 and 24.7 minutes, respectively. He's been saddled with four fouls in each, but he's also managed 0.88 FanDuel points per minute, maxing out at 22.3 against the Portland Trail Blazers on Monday. If we dig even further, we find that the rookie has put up 0.95 FanDuel points per minute without Whiteside on the floor, according to NBAWowy!.

No matter which position Adebayo's classified under, the Sacramento Kings make for a plus matchup on Wednesday. Over the last 10, they're allowing at least 43.2 FanDuel points per game to both positions while posting the league's seventh-worst defensive rating (111.1) and rebounding rate (48.2%) over that span.

Tonight, the only thing that could hold Adebayo back is a healthy Whiteside.
