5 NBA FanDuel Value Plays to Target on 3/27/18

Cristiano Felicio, C, Chicago Bulls

FanDuel Price: $4,500
Projected FanDuel Points: 21.5
Projected FanDuel Value: 4.78

In case you haven't picked up on it yet, injuries and absences will play an even larger role than normal for tonight's slate. They're creating value in good spots, but -- unlike the others -- Cristiano Felicio's advantageous spot doesn't come from injuries. Though the Bulls have a few injuries, none of them really affect Felicio. Rather it's the Bulls' tank job that puts him in play at center.

Over the last 10 days, Robin Lopez has played at least 17 minutes just one. During that same span, Felicio's seen 28 minutes per game with four starts in five games. Felicio comes into today after playing a touch more than 19 minutes off the bench Saturday night. He should carry low ownership, but that's just fine for our purposes.

Instead of worrying about Lopez and the chance of him stealing some of Felicio's minutes, look to what Felicio has done recently. He still put up 10 points, 9 rebounds and 23.8 FanDuel points (returning 5.95 points per $1,000) in Saturday's game, making it five straight games with at least 24.5 FanDuel points and double-digit real-world points.

Felicio is a lock-and-load guy if Lopez draws another DNP-CD against a Capela-less Rockets team.
