Patrick McCaw, SG, Golden State Warriors

FanDuel Price: $3,700
Projected FanDuel Points: 4.3
Projected FanDuel Value: 1.16

Patrick McCaw has stepped into a surprisingly large role for the Golden State Warriors with Kevin Durant sidelined, averaging 31.5 minutes and 25.5 FanDuel points. Durant is currently listed as questionable for Game 4, but with the Dubs holding a 3-0 lead, they have plenty of incentive to exercise caution with their superstar.

If Durant indeed sits again, McCaw will presumably see around 30 minutes of playing time against a Portland Trail Blazers team that has allowed the third-most FanDuel points to opposing small forwards of teams on this slate. They have also allowed the second-worst defensive efficiency among playoff teams.

McCaw isn't a high-upside option, but his potential workload provides him with a surprisingly high floor for a player at his price tag. Rostering him helps clear up a lot of salary space on a slate with 11 players priced above $8,000.
