5 Daily Fantasy Basketball Value Plays for 3/22/17

Ersan Ilyasova, PF, Atlanta Hawks

FanDuel Price: $4,500

Projected FanDuel Points: 26.1

Projected FanDuel Value: 5.81

The Atlanta Hawks are taking on the Washington Wizards in a game with a solid 215.5-point over/under. Washington has struggled with power forwards this season, allowing the seventh-most FanDuel points per game to the position. They've been even more generous to power forwards over the last four weeks, giving up 48.19 FanDuel points per game to the position, the third-most in the NBA.

That puts Atlanta's Ersan Ilyasova in a great spot. Per our projections, he's one of the night's top value plays as we peg him to score 26.1 FanDuel points, which is 5.81 points per every $1,000 in salary.

Over his last two games, Ilyasova has averaged 27 FanDuel points, and he's scored at least 18 fantasy points in five of his last seven games. The massive ceiling isn't there, but at this cost, he needs just 20.25 fantasy points to hit cash-game value (4.5 FanDuel points per every $1,000).

The Hawks have a few other enticing value options, as well. Our models have Tim Hardaway Jr. ($5,400) and Taurean Prince ($3,900) also ranked among the night's top value plays.
