T.J. McConnell, PG, Philadelphia 76ers

FanDuel Price: $4,000
Projected FanDuel Points: 21.2
Projected FanDuel Value: 5.30

In case you missed it, point guard Ben Simmons is doubtful to play tonight due to a back injury. That opens up roughly 30 to 35 minutes of playing time, and though Markelle Fultz is set to start at the point, T.J. McConnell could be asked to do a lot more in Tuesday's matchup with the Detroit Pistons.

Fultz was already starting and playing 26-plus minutes per game, and it will be J.J. Redick who starts alongside him. That will make McConnell the top backcourt player off the Philadelphia 76ers' bench tonight. Last game out, he managed 19.8 FanDuel points in 25.4 minutes as a result of Simmons' injury, and -- per NBAWowy -- he averaged 0.91 FanDuel points per minute with Simmons off the floor a year ago. Sure, his price has jumped $500, but he's still going to get about 25 minutes, making him our top value below $5,000.
