Jonah Bolden, PF, Philadelphia 76ers

FanDuel Price: $4,300
Projected FanDuel Points: 20.0
Projected FanDuel Value: 4.66

As we mentioned with Scott, the Sixers are extremely short-handed upfront on Tuesday. Amir Johnson is questionable to play while Embiid and Boban are out. While Bolden carries a questionable tag due to an illness, the rookie center may be forced into action due to a shortage of bodies at the center spot. If he does suit up, you will want to get the former UCLA Bruin into your lineup due to some remarkable efficiency.

Over the last three games, Bolden has seen a significant chunk of minutes -- 19.9 per game -- and has paid off handsomely in DFS. He has posted 11.7 points, 4.0 rebounds, and 1.3 blocks per game in that span despite seeing fewer than 20 minutes a night. He finished with at least 20.6 FanDuel points in all three games for an average of 24.0 per game.

That comes out to 1.21 FanDuel points per minute, meaning Bolden would need to play just 17.8 minutes on Tuesday to achieve optimal 5-times value -- 5.0 FanDuel points per $1,000 of salary -- at his low cost tonight.
