5 NBA FanDuel Value Plays to Target on 3/29/18

Tyler Johnson, PG, Miami Heat

FanDuel Price: $4,700
Projected FanDuel Points: 22.4
Projected FanDuel Value: 4.76

Tyler Johnson hasn't been all that consistent of late. While his minutes have fluctuated between 19 and 29 over the last five games, he's put up games of 12.4 FanDuel points and 28.6 FanDuel points, with an average of 20.5. But there are reasons to be targeting him on tonight's short five-game slate.

Since the All-Star break, tonight's opponent, the Chicago Bulls, have been the league's second-worst team by net rating (-12.6). They're also the league's second-worst defense while playing at the seventh-fastest pace among all NBA teams. And that's a recipe for a blowout.

Vegas tends to agree with the numbers here, laying a 13-point spread in favor of the Miami Heat. And that brings the team's implied total to 111.25 points, which should benefit someone as depending on scoring as Johnson. Whether it's a high-scoring game or just a three-quarter blowout, Johnson should get his minutes and his points in this one.
