Frank Mason, PG, Sacramento Kings

FanDuel Price: $4,200
Projected FanDuel Points: 16.4
Projected FanDuel Value: 3.9

As with many bargain big plays, Frank Mason's value tonight will be dictated by the health of his teammates. On Tuesday night, George Hill was out with an illness, and De'Aaron Fox injured his right quad. Mason stepped in and finished with a season-high 16 points and helped lead the Sacramento Kings to an away victory in Philadelphia. If (and we probably won't know more until later today) Hill and Fox are out again, then Mason could start and would have an excellent chance of playing 30 minutes.

If he does get the start, the matchup couldn't be much better. The Brooklyn Nets play an uptempo-style -- they are second in the league in pace at 101.5 possessions per game, according to Basketball-Reference. They also give up the most FanDuel points per game to opposing point guards, which is quite the gift for Mason if he's able to get his first start. Remember to follow our NBA account on Twitter for late breaking injury news so you don't miss out on Mason's potential value before lineups lock tonight.
