Eric Gordon, SG, Houston Rockets

FanDuel Price: $5,100
Projected FanDuel Points: 26.7
Projected FanDuel Value: 5.23

In that same game and at the same position, Eric Gordon comes in above $5,000, but his price is actually down $900 from where it was 12 days ago and $1,400 below his peak cost back on October 26. Therefore, he's a value, especially at home against a Lakers team averaging over seven more possessions per game than the Rockets, while also allowing an average of 110.9 points per game.

Gordon could also benefit from a change in role. With James Ennis out due to a hamstring injury, he started Houston's last game and played over 38 minutes, the most of any one Rocket. He turned in a mediocre 21.2 FanDuel points on a low 15.7% usage, but he was 0-for-5 from three as Houston totaled 111 points. As we already touched on, this game's likely to exceed that total, thereby boosting Gordon's scoring floor and upside.

Speaking of upside, we know Gordon is capable of obliterating value at this price. On the year, he has posted five games of at least 30 FanDuel points, including one over 40. Don't be afraid to go cheap at both shooting guard slots, with Gordon our third-best value play on the slate.
