5 NBA FanDuel Value Plays to Target on 1/29/19

Richaun Holmes, PF, Phoenix Suns

FanDuel Price: $5,000
Projected FanDuel Points: 33.8
Projected FanDuel Value: 6.62

Playing in his first game in more than a week due to a foot sprain, Richaun Holmes took advantage of Deandre Ayton sitting out on Sunday. Against the Los Angeles Lakers, Holmes collected his third double-double of the season -- and first in nearly two months -- as he posted 12 points, 10 rebounds, and 4 blocks for 40.1 FanDuel points in 26.7 minutes played.

The big night should come as no surprise. In the 11 games in which Holmes has played more than 20 minutes this season, he has five outings of 35-plus FanDuel points while dropping at least 22 FanDuel points eight times.

The Phoenix Suns’ big man is averaging massive 1.20 FanDuel points per minute this season. At that rate, he needs to play just under 21 minutes on Tuesday to collect 5.0 FanDuel points per $1,000 of salary. With Ayton likely to miss his sixth straight game -- he is listed as doubtful -- Holmes should have no problem reaching value against the San Antonio Spurs. The big man sits as our best value option of the day, per our models, with a projected 6.6 FanDuel points per $1,000.
