Dragan Bender, PF, Phoenix Suns

FanDuel Price: $4,400
Projected FanDuel Points: 20.9
Projected FanDuel Value: 4.75

The Suns are tanking and dealing with injuries, but they should be closer to full strength on Tuesday. The only player who has been unaffected by his teammates going in and out is Dragan Bender. Spending time at both power forward and center, Bender is averaging 31.1 minutes since the All-Star break and 33.3 over the last six (all of which he's played at least 30 minutes).

As a result of consistent minutes, Bender has yielded 18.4 FanDuel points per game, with three performances of 22 or more since February 28th. He doesn't have much of a ceiling and his floor isn't very high either, so he's probably a tournament-only play -- one that could help you pay up for an Anthony Davis ($12,900) or LeBron James ($12,500).

Speaking of LeBron, his Cavs aren't exactly great on defense. They rate 21st in defensive rating since the break and have allowed the second-most FanDuel points to the power forward position. He could be a cheap way to get exposure in a full Cavs-Suns game stack.
