One of the keys to finding success in daily fantasy basketball is uncovering potential value plays. If you're looking to roster a stud player or two, you need to consider squeezing in one of these lower-priced options into your lineup.

Let's take a look at five players who can help fill in the gaps in your lineup tonight.

Jamal Murray, PG, Denver Nuggets

FanDuel Price: $3,800
Projected FanDuel Points: 18.8

Jamal Murray has been on fire over his past two games, putting up back-to-back scoring outputs of at least 20 points. Murray is proving to be a scoring threat as he's averaging 21.7 points and 3.7 three-pointers over his last three games. The Denver Nuggets host the Oklahoma City Thunder, who give up the second-most points to opposing point guards, and Murray is in a good spot in what should be a fast-paced game.

Ian Clark, SG, Golden State Warriors

FanDuel Price: $3,500
Projected FanDuel Points: 10.6

Ian Clark is coming off a 21-point performance in 18 minutes played in a blowout win against the Los Angeles Lakers, which is exactly who he will be facing again tonight. Clark has had the hot hand over his past two games with an average of 15.5 points and 3.5 three-pointers on 61% shooting. The Golden State Warriors visit the Lakers, who give up the second-most FanDuel points to opposing shooting guards. The Dubs have a massive 121.75-point implied total, and they are 13.5-point favorites.

Michael Beasley, SF, Milwaukee Bucks

FanDuel Price: $3,500
Projected FanDuel Points: 14.4

Michael Beasley has scored double figures in three of his last five games, including an average of 12.0 points and 5.3 rebounds over the past three contests. Beasley's minutes have been trending upwards, creeping into the low-20's. The Milwaukee Bucks play the Toronto Raptors, who give up the fifth-most points to opposing small forwards, and Milwaukee has a solid implied total of 103.5 points.

JaMychal Green, PF, Memphis Grizzlies

FanDuel Price: $4,400
Projected FanDuel Points: 25.1

JaMychal Green will have a bigger role tonight with Zach Randolph (personal) out of the lineup. Green has picked it up as of late with averages of 13.7 points, 9.0 rebounds and 1.0 blocks over the past three games. The Memphis Grizzlies host the Miami Heat, who have allowed 109.3 points over their last three games, and the Grizzlies are 6.5-point favorites.

Jahlil Okafor, C, Philadelphia 76ers

FanDuel Price: $4,400
Projected FanDuel Points: 25.4

Jahlil Okafor should have ample opportunities to produce as he is no longer has a minutes restriction and will be playing with Joel Embiid sitting on Friday. Though he's been underwhelming on the glass thus far, Okafor is averaging 10.2 points on 48% shooting on the season. The Philadelphia 76ers host the Chicago Bulls, who give up the sixth-most FanDuel points to opposing centers. There's always the risk of a blowout with the Sixers -- they're nine-point underdogs -- but Okafor is awful enticing at his salary.
