Daniel Theis, PF, Boston Celtics

FanDuel Price: $3,700
Projected FanDuel Points: 13.7
Projected FanDuel Value: 3.69

The injury to Aron Baynes has opened playing time for Daniel Theis once again. The Boston Celtics' big man played 17.3 minutes on Sunday, the first game Baynes will miss over the next couple of weeks. Theis was solid in a problematic matchup with the Oklahoma City Thunder frontcourt, posting 14 points, 2 rebounds, 1 steal, and 1 block for 22.4 FanDuel points. It was his second consecutive 20-plus FanDuel point outing as he dropped 20.9 against the Hornets last Wednesday.

In the 13 games Baynes missed in late December-early January, Thies thrived posting nine games with at least 16 FanDuel points and six with over 20. He averaged 6.6 points, 5.2 rebounds, 1.4 assists, and 0.7 blocks in 17.5 minutes during the stretch. Add in Marcus Morris sitting out on Tuesday as well, and the minutes open up for Theis alongside and behind Al Horford.

The opponent is a favorable one as well on Tuesday, with Theis having dropped at least 15.5 FanDuel points in his previous two meetings with the Cleveland Cavaliers this season.
