Trevor Ariza, SF, Phoenix Suns

FanDuel Price: $4,700
Projected FanDuel Points: 24.6
Projected FanDuel Value: 5.23

Going beyond the $4K mark, Trevor Ariza is one of the best point-per-dollar values of the night. Not only do we have him fifth among small forwards, but his projection has him inside the top 15 value plays on the slate.

Now, the masses may be off Ariza against Paul George and the Oklahoma City Thunder, but the Phoenix Suns' small forward may benefit from the trickle-down effect associated with Russell Westbrook's absence. With the star point guard out this year, George has played 37.5 minutes per game, getting up 21.6 shots, on average, and using more than 30% of the team's possessions in three of the five total games.

Needless to stay, George has been focused on offense, and understandably so. That presents an opportunity for opposing small forwards like Ariza, who -- despite averaging 24.0 FanDuel points -- could also carry low ownership with most others gravitating toward T.J. Warren as the starting four-man.
