5 NBA FanDuel Value Plays to Target on 3/29/18
As the Bulls and Heat match up on Thursday, there will be value to go around. Where else can we find cheap options tonight?

Wayne Ellington, SG, Miami Heat

FanDuel Price: $4,200
Projected FanDuel Points: 18.7
Projected FanDuel Value: 4.46

Similar to his teammate, Wayne Ellington is another scoring-dependent option in the Miami backcourt. While averaging 18.0 FanDuel points per game, 11.3 of those (62.8%) come in the form of real-life points. And a large portion of that comes from the perimeter, where Ellington has averaged a hair under three triples a game on 39.4% shooting.

Ellington's skillset meshes well with tonight's game script. It's expected to result in a lot of opportunities and points for the Heat players, but for some more than others. Since the Bulls decided to come out of the break and full-on tank, they've been awful on defense and even more dreadful at defending the three-point line. Their 13.5 makes and 35.4 attempts allowed per game both rank first in the NBA and their opponent's three-point percentage (38.2%) also ranks in the top-10.

According to our defensive versus position matchups, Ellington's in as good of a spot as any shooting guard tonight. The Bulls are 25th against the position, so the sharpshooter should have no problem scoring in this favorable, uptempo matchup.
