Josh Hart, SG, Los Angeles Lakers

FanDuel Price: $4,400
Projected FanDuel Points: 12.8
Projected FanDuel Value: 2.91

The Los Angeles Lakers are hurting. Kyle Kuzma is out on Wednesday with an ankle injury, and Brandon Ingram is questionable with a shoulder issue. That could leave two starting spots open on Wednesday. While JaVale McGee is likely to make another start, as he did on Monday, Josh Hart would be next in line if Ingram sits out again. In 21 starts this season, Hart has averaged 23.0 FanDuel points in 31.7 minutes. That would bring 5.2 FanDuel points per $1,000 of salary.

On Monday, in a bench role, Hart saw 30-plus minutes, finishing with 17 points, 4 rebounds, and 24.8 FanDuel points against the Los Angeles Clippers. It was the second consecutive game he played at least 25 minutes.

Even if Ingram plays Wednesday, Hart is likely to remain at worst in the sixth-man role and act as the number-three scoring option for the Lakers. If Ingram is out, Hart vaults up to behind just LeBron James in the pecking order and would be a near-must play against the Denver Nuggets on Wednesday.
