FanDuel Price: $4,800

Projected FanDuel Value: 4.28

If you've been wired into the NCAA Tournament or simply gearing up for MLB Opening Day, you may have missed the injury plague that's struck the defending-champion Golden State Warriors. Stephen Curry is expected to miss the rest of the regular season and could possibly miss a first-round playoff series, but he's just one of many guys on the team's laundry list of outs and doubtfuls. Draymond Green (illness) joined the list as of late Tuesday afternoon, and three other frontcourt players are due to sit against the Indiana Pacers.

Even if Green ends up playing, Kevon Looney should be in for nice minutes off the bench, but if Green sits, he could see huge run. He's already averaging 18.4 minutes since the break and 23.2 in the last six. Looney has shown that he can produce good fantasy numbers when given the chance which is evident from his average of 27.7 FanDuel points per game (1.19 per minute) over the last six.

In case you're worried about Looney's minutes if Green is able to buck the doubtful tag and suit up, it's worth noting that he's played a lot of minutes at both power forward and center. In the last six games alone, he's played 50 minutes with JaVale McGee, 31 with David West, 25 with Green, 22 with Zaza Pachulia and 20 with Jordan Bell. His minutes are safe for a matchup with a Pacers team allowing top-10 production to both power forwards and centers over the last 10.
