David Nwaba, SG, Clevalnd Cavaliers

FanDuel Price: $3,600
Projected FanDuel Points: 16.2
Projected FanDuel Value: 4.49

After missing the last month-plus of the NBA season, David Nwaba appears ready to capitalize on the wealth of playing time available to him as a member of the Cavaliers.

With Rodney Hood traded to Portlandand Cedi Osman sitting out on Tuesday due to injury, Nwaba will be able to build upon the 15 minutes he played on Saturday, his first game since December 23. In the game, he racked up 12 points, 4 rebounds, 1 assist, and 1 steal for 21.3 FanDuel points.

In the four times (out of 22 games played) Nwaba has seen at least 25 minutes, he has dropped at least 18 FanDuel points each time while averaging 25.4 FanDuel points. With two starting slots open on Tuesday, there is a good chance Nwaba reaches that threshold.

His low cost on Tuesday makes Nwaba a good punt play option as he doesn’t need many fantasy points (18.0) to reach optimal value -- 5.0 FanDuel points per $1,000 of salary.
