5 NBA FanDuel Value Plays to Target on 1/17/18

JaMychal Green, PF, Memphis Grizzlies

FanDuel Price: $4,800
Projected FanDuel Points: 22.5
Projected FanDuel Value: 4.69

At first glance, JaMychal Green isn't in the ideal spot Wednesday night. His Memphis Grizzlies are expected to score just 102.75 points and he'll be tasked with guarding unicorn Kristaps Porzingis. But on a per-minute basis, he's been very impressive since returning from a three-game absence back on December 30th.

Per NBAWowy!, Green is averaging 1.06 FanDuel points per minute over this seven-game span. So if he plays to his average, he needs just 23 minutes to exceed value. You might be concerned with Green reaching that number, with him logging fewer than 22 minutes in all but two of the Grizzies' contests since his return. His minutes should be there now, though.

After being eased back, Green played over 34 minutes a week ago and would've played at least 27 minutes in his last two if not for foul trouble against the Denver Nuggets. If he can avoid picking up fouls against Porzingis, Green should get the minutes and -- with the New York Knicks giving up the second-most points (22.2) to power forwards -- make the most of the opportunity.
