Juan Hernangomez, SF, Denver Nuggets

FanDuel Price: $4,100
Projected FanDuel Points: 22.1
Projected FanDuel Value: 5.38

Tonight's tilt between the Denver Nuggets and Atlanta Hawks carries the night's highest total (221.0 over/under), and as 13-point favorites, the Nuggets own the slate's highest implied team total, at 117.25. That's six points clear of the next-closest team, so we should look to the Nuggets for value tonight.

At the small forward spot, Juan Hernangomez is an option for cash games. He's now started the team's last two contests, logging 29.8 and 38.8 minutes in them. He's put up only 15.1 and 19.8 FanDuel points in those games, but we've seen Juancho exceed 20 FanDuel points twice this season, including a 34.8-FanDuel-point outing against Cleveland to begin the month of November.

On a short slate, targeting big minutes and guys starting at low prices is key. And the lowly Hawks aren't all that different from the Cavs as they're just four spots behind Cleveland in defensive rating (111.8). Plus, they've allowed 45.86 FanDuel points per 48 minutes to small forwards, which points directly to Hernangomez.
