3 NBA FanDuel Value Plays to Target on 1/14/19

Terry Rozier, PG, Boston Celtics

FanDuel Price: $3,900
Projected FanDuel Points: 19.0
Projected FanDuel Value: 4.88

Kyrie Irving has been really kind to daily fantasy players today and already told us that he'll be missing tonight's game against the Brooklyn Nets. As such, rostering Terry Rozier tonight has gone from becoming a risky and somewhat underwhelming proposition to a near-must, at least in cash games.

Rozier becomes a completely different player when Irving is out. In 38 games with Kyrie, Rozier is averaging 8.0 points, 3.9 boards, 2.5 assists, and 18.7 FanDuel points. In the four games he's played without Kyrie, those numbers have skyrocketed to 14.0, 5.3, 5.3, and 34.9, respectively.

Given his $3,900 salary and the fact that everybody knows all of this, Rozier is not going to provide a ton of differential. Because we found out about Kyrie being out so early in the day, Rozier's ownership percentage will be off the charts, especially on a relatively small six-game slate.

Despite that type of risk, it would be a mistake not to roster him, even in tournaments. He's scored no fewer than 30.5 FanDuel points in any of those four games Kyrie has missed, and tonight's game against the Nets should be relatively fast-paced.
