3 NBA FanDuel Value Plays to Target on 2/4/19

Frank Jackson, PG, New Orleans Pelicans

FanDuel Price: $3,900
Projected FanDuel Points: 18.3
Projected FanDuel Value: 4.68

Another Pelican who has been taking advantage of injuries over the past week is Frank Jackson, the former Duke guard who was drafted at the end of the second round in the 2017 NBA Draft (he was injured in what would have been his rookie year).

Jackson has started each of the past three games for the Pelicans, and there is little reason to expect that to change tonight with Elfrid Payton and E'Twaun Moore already having been ruled out. Jackson has scored in double figures in four out of his past five games and is coming off a 25-point effort against the San Antonio Spurs in his last contest.

He's topped 20.0 FanDuel points in three of his last four games, a figure that he should have no trouble flirting with once again, especially if he gets anywhere close to the 42 minutes he logged in his last game. Those 42 minutes were 8 minutes more than the next closest player on the team (Darius Miller).

We currently have Jackson projected for 18.3 FanDuel points, but that assumes roughly 29.3 minutes of run. Given the Pelicans' shift toward featuring their young stars, he could easily surpass our minutes projection, which would cause his projected output to rise.
