FanDuel's new best-ball system has allowed players to make some interesting decisions that they might have otherwise not made in past years. Given the flexibility of a dropped score, using riskier plays has been woven more into the fabric of the game. One such play tonight would be Memphis Grizzlies rookie Julian Washburn.

With both Garrett Temple and Kyle Anderson out on Tuesday night, Washburn received the first start of his career. While he finished just 3-of-10 from the floor and 1-for-5 from deep, he somewhat salvaged his day by adding a steal, a couple of dimes, and four boards.

With Temple doubtful again tonight and Anderson only going to play "in case of emergencies," Washburn could absolutely get his second straight start. The Grizzlies are almost certain to be on the wrong end of a lopsided score in this game as 14.0-point dogs to the Thunder, but that could work in Washburn's favor as he could be facing the Thunder's second and third-string players later in the game. At minimum price with solid run almost assured, he's worth taking a chance on in some tournament lineups.
