Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, SG, Los Angeles Lakers

FanDuel Price: $4,000
Projected FanDuel Points: 17.5
Projected FanDuel Value: 4.39

While the Los Angeles Lakers continue to deal with injuries to major stars, they've always been able to rely on the playing time of shooting guard Kentavious Caldwell-Pope. He may not be the flashiest player, but KCP is one of just two Lakers players (Josh Hart being the other) to have appeared in all 51 games this season.

While he doesn't always fill up the stat sheet, Caldwell-Pope has scored in double figures in most of his January games, which has translated to him scoring more than 20 FanDuel points in 8 of his 14 games this month.

The Los Angeles Clippers have been a decent matchup for Caldwell-Pope over the years. He's scored at least 14 points in all three of his games against them whilst with the Lakers, including a 29-point effort against them last season. Hart could see a minutes limit tonight after getting some work done on his knee on Wednesday, which could help KCP see an increase in playing time. At only $4,000, Caldwell-Pope is a solid filler for your teams, albeit one with limited upside.
