5 NBA FanDuel Value Plays to Target on 1/18/19
Ante Zizic should see heavy minutes with injuries to the Cleveland frontcourt. Which other low-priced plays should you target tonight?

Evan Turner, SF, Portland Trail Blazers

FanDuel Price: $4,200
Projected FanDuel Points: 19.7
Projected FanDuel Value: 4.70

Evan Turner's potential largely hinges on the availability of teammate Maurice Harkless tonight. Harkless has been nursing a knee injury, which has caused him to miss the team's past five games. He's questionable tonight, and if he can't go, then Turner will once again be in line for extra minutes.

When Harkless is unable to take the court, Turner's numbers jump from 7.4 points, 4.1 boards, and 3.9 assists to 9.0, 5.3, and 4.0, respectively. That may not seem like a huge difference, but it amounts to an increase from 18.6 to 22.5 FanDuel points, nearly adding a full 1.0 FanDuel points per $1,000 to his value.

Turner has scored at least 24.2 FanDuel points in three of his past four regular season meetings against tonight's opponent, the New Orleans Pelicans. We only have him projected for 19.7 FanDuel points tonight, but that assumes Harkless is playing. If Moe is out, expect that projection to rise along with his playing time.
