Luke Kennard, SG, Detroit Pistons

FanDuel Price: $5,400
Projected FanDuel Points: 16.9
Projected FanDuel Value: 3.13

Not many players in the league have had a hotter shooting touch over the last couple of weeks than Detroit Pistons guard Luke Kennard. The second-year player out of Duke has hit three or more triples in five out of his past six games, making a combined 22-for-42 deep shots in that span.

It shouldn't come as much surprise, then, that his scoring average has seen a big boost. He's put up at least 17 points in those five games and has averaged 22.0 in three March contests so far, all Pistons wins.

Tonight, he and his Detroit teammates should be in a fantasy-friendly affair when they take on the Chicago Bulls, a team that ranks 23rd in defensive efficiency and 22nd in three-point percentage allowed. The Bulls are even worse against the three at home, where they are giving up a 37.0% shooting percentage, second-worst in the league. It sets up perfectly for Kennard's game, though he's probably best suited for use in tournament lineups on FanDuel tonight.
