Lance Stephenson, SF, Indiana Pacers

FanDuel Price: $4,700
Projected FanDuel Points: 25.8
Projected FanDuel Value: 5.49

With the Indiana Pacers firmly in the playoffs and locked into the number-5 seed, they are resting 60% of their starters on Tuesday (Victor Oladipo, Bojan Bogdanovic, Thaddeus Young), therefore opening up plenty of playing time and likely resulting in a start for Lance Stephenson. The veteran wing has played a limited role off the bench this year (22.6 minutes per game), but when given a chance to start (six times) he has thrived. Stephenson has averaged 13.8 points, 8.7 rebounds, and 4.5 assists in 33.7 minutes as a starter this season. He averaged 29.7 FanDuel points in those six games, totaling at least 31.0 FanDuel points in four of them.

A soft matchup with the Charlotte Hornets only works to improve his chances of hitting value. The Hornets own the 10th-worst defensive rating (107.1) while playing at the fifth-fastest pace in the league over their last 10 games, allowing opponents to rack up nearly 110 points per game (109.7). The Pacers have the second-highest implied point total of the day, leaving Stephenson in line to pay off handsomely on Tuesday.
