5 NBA FanDuel Value Plays to Target on 11/6/18

Brook Lopez, C, Milwaukee Bucks

FanDuel Price: $4,700
Projected FanDuel Points: 21.8
Projected FanDuel Value: 4.65

For tonight, it came down to Brook Lopez and Cody Zeller at the same exact price. But I'm more looking at tournaments for such a short slate, so let's roll with the oft chance that Lopez gets enough minutes to smash value here.

There is a chance that happens if you're looking at the Portland Trail Blazers' personnel. Jusuf Nurkic is a traditional big man who has played at least 28 minutes in 4 of the team's 10 games to date. If the Milwaukee Bucks match the size at the center spot, BroLo could inch closer to 25-30 minutes, rather than the 19.5 and 23.5 he's seen in his last two games.

Lopez put up an average of 30.5 FanDuel points in the two games he has played at least 30 minutes this season. Those two teams -- the New York Knicks and Philadelphia 76ers play with traditional seven footers Enes Kanter and Joel Embiid, guys similar to Nurk's playing style. That, and the fact that Portland is 19th against centers, bodes well for Lopez and makes the case for him as a nice pivot off of Zeller tonight.
