Bradley Beal, SG, Washington Wizards

Price: $9,800

Bradley Beal's price tag is way up, and he's still probably underpriced tonight.

While he has fallen below 40 FanDuel points twice in his last five games, those were both contests in which John Wall played. The three games without Wall in that stretch saw Beal drop 46.3, 52.9 and a season-high 70.0. He had two other Wall-less games in December, dropping 46.1 and 56.7 FanDuel points in those, giving him an average of 54.5 per game.

That does include a triple-overtime game (the 70.1), but even without that outlier that gives him an average of 50.4 in 40.4 minutes per game.

Both the production and workload in that sample are huge, and he couldn't bring it into a much better matchup than against Atlanta.

The Hawks are playing at the league's fastest pace while ranking 25th in defensive rating, allowing both the NBA's most points and assists per game to their opponents. Unsurprisingly, they're allowing top-five fantasy efficiency to opponents at both guard positions.
