3 NBA FanDuel Value Plays to Target on 1/10/19

Jaylen Brown, SG, Boston Celtics

FanDuel Price: $4,200
Projected FanDuel Points: 21.7
Projected FanDuel Value: 5.16

It's hard to imagine a player whose fantasy performances are more chaotic than Celtics shooting guard Jaylen Brown. Let's take a look at his past six games for reference, shall we?

Last night, he put up a stellar 40.9 FanDuel points. The game before? 12.0. His previous four games show the same dramatic up-and-down pattern with 34.4, 20.0, 43.8, and 7.8 -- ouch -- FanDuel points, respectively.

Needless to say, he's not a player who you should be relying on in cash games. Tournaments, on the other hand, are an entirely different story. While you can certainly load up a few players with solid floors, it's imperative to take a chance on guys like Brown who can bust out for a huge return.

While we don't see him having one of those 40-point games tonight, we do see him providing good value. We have Brown projected for 26.7 FanDuel points. The equivalent 5.16 FanDuel points per $1,000 makes Brown our third-highest projected value play of the slate.
