5 NBA FanDuel Value Plays to Target on 4/3/18

Rudy Gay, SF, San Antonio Spurs

FanDuel Price: $4,100
Projected FanDuel Points: 22.7
Projected FanDuel Value: 5.55

Enjoying one of his finest stretches of good health this season, Rudy Gay has produced quality fantasy numbers over the last week or so. The veteran wing has posted at least 20 FanDuel points in five consecutive games while gradually seeing an increase in playing time, staying on the court for an average of 24.0 minutes the last two times out.

The extra court time has paid off with Gay scoring 21 real-world points on Sunday, his most in nearly four months. With Kawhi Leonard still out of action, the small forward will continue in his increased role, and in a plus matchup Tuesday as the San Antonio Spurs face the Los Angeles Clippers.

The Clippers allow the second-most FanDuel points to the small forward position and, over the last 10 games, own the league's 23rd-ranked defense, in terms of defensive rating. The matchup is also a pace-up game for the Spurs as the Clips play at the 10th-fastest pace in the league. Add it all up and and you see why Gay is the second-best small forward value, per our projections.
