Maurice Harkless, SF, Portland Trail Blazers
FanDuel Price: $4,500
Projected FanDuel Points: 17.4
Projected FanDuel Value: 3.86
Do two solid fantasy performances in a row tell us that a turnaround is in progress for Portland Trail Blazers small forward Maurice Harkless? While there is no definite answer for that, Harkless' play in the past two games has been very encouraging.
From the start of 2019 to the All-Star break, the oft-injured seven-year veteran was putting up just 6.0 points 3.6 rebounds, 0.8 assists, and 16.1 FanDuel points per game. Perhaps all he needed was a full week of rest, because he's responded by putting up averages of 13.0 points, 6.5 boards, 3.0 assists, 2.0 steals, 1.0 blocks, and 33.3 FanDuel points in the Blazers' first two games back from the All-Star break.
He'll have a solid chance to continue his run of good play when the Blazers take on the Cavaliers tonight, a team who has given up the fourth-most FanDuel points per game to opposing small forwards over their past seven games. He hasn't proven himself enough to use in 50/50s or head-to-head matchups, but he's a very strong tournament option for you this evening.
