Jabari Parker, SF, Wasington Wizards

FanDuel Price: $5,600
Projected FanDuel Points: 26.3
Projected FanDuel Value: 4.7

Hey, look! It's another player who is in the first few games of playing for a new team! Such is life just after the trade deadline, I suppose. It certainly makes finding value plays a more interesting endeavor.

Yes, Jabari Parker is on a new team. If you haven't been following basketball for the past couple of weeks (for shame!), then you'd have missed him moving from the Chicago Bulls to the Washington Wizards and actually getting consistent playing time.

He was red hot in his first two games for his new team, scoring at least 40.0 FanDuel points in each, before falling down to earth in a horrible away outing against the Detroit Pistons. Not to worry, however. Parker bounced back right away in his next game against the Toronto Raptors, scoring 22 points and picking up 9 boards and 4 dimes.

Sure, the dud was a worry, but I'm taking my chances that the Parker we've seen 75% of the time in Washington is the Parker we'll see most of the time in Washington, especially as he was given 34 minutes of run in two of those contests. Those games were the first time he's seen 30-plus minutes since December 1. We have Parker continuing his solid play tonight, as we project him for 26.3 FanDuel points.
