5 NBA FanDuel Value Plays to Target on 1/30/19
The injuries to the Pacers' backcourt has opened up minutes for Aaron Holiday, making him a top value option on Wednesday. Who else makes a good play at a low price in DFS?

Jaylen Brown, SG, Boston Celtics

FanDuel Price: $4,700
Projected FanDuel Points: 26.3
Projected FanDuel Value: 5.60

When Kyrie Irving sits out for the Boston Celtics this season, as he is likely to do on Wednesday, Terry Rozier automatically gets a bump as he moves into the starting lineup. Priced at $6,500 on Wednesday, Rozier is far from a value though. However, Jaylen Brown, at $4,700, can provide just as much bang for your buck against the Charlotte Hornets.

In the five games Irving did not play in January, Brown scored at least 21 points four times while playing over 25 minutes per night. The third-year guard has averaged 13.6 shot attempts in the five games, while boosting his usage rate to over 25% in three of them. All that action has been a boon for his fantasy numbers as Brown has posted four 30-plus FanDuel point nights for an average of 31.2 in the five games. That would bring 6.6 FanDuel points per $1,000 of salary on Wednesday.

Also helping his case is the soft defense of the Hornets, particularly against shooting guards. Charlotte allows the 10th-most FanDuel points per minute to the position while giving up at least 113 points seven times in January.
