5 Daily Fantasy Basketball Value Plays for 3/7/16

Zach LaVine, SG, Minnesota Timberwolves ($5,500)

The Timberwolves simply don't have a lot of other options available in their backcourt at the moment, which has resulted in Zach LaVine averaging 38.32 minutes per game over his previous five.

At his price, it's difficult to argue with the playing time and opportunity that awaits LaVine once again tonight. Charlotte is favored by nine points, but due to the scarcity in this backcourt, there isn't a lot of concern for his playing time.

The Hornets allow opponents to attempt the sixth most three-point field goal attempts per game, which should suit LaVine well. The young shooting guard isn't shy about letting it fly from deep and has averaged almost five three-point field goal attempts per game over his previous five.

His ceiling isn't elite -- he's hit 30 FanDuel points only twice in the past month -- but his floor and consistency -- he hasn't dipped below 28 FanDuel points in his previous five contests -- are attractive for cash games.
