5 NBA FanDuel Value Plays to Target on 11/16/18

Kevin Knox, PF, New York Knicks

FanDuel Price: $4,900
Projected FanDuel Points: 17.9
Projected FanDuel Value: 3.65

In the same vein, Knicks rookie Kevin Knox is a tourney-only play with the early inconsistency from him this year. Following his first three career games, Knox was forced to sit out the next seven due to an injury. Since his return, his minutes have been trending up, ultimately leading to season-high 29.3 in Wednesday's loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder.

Knox also made his first career start, and we should expect him to be in there again tonight barring a last-minute change. After all, the rook was aggressive, getting up 16 shots and tying Tim Hardaway Jr. for a team-high 28.6% usage rate. But that's exactly what we've seen from Knox of late. Over the last three games, he's played at least 24 minutes, with 11 shots apiece in the two prior to Wednesday night. And including last game, he's had a usage of 27% or higher.

As a byproduct of his volume, Knox has produced 18.9, 20.4 and 22.5 FanDuel points in consecutive games. However, that's on just 13 of 38 (34.2%) shooting. New Orleans has allowed the second-most points and sixth-most FanDuel points per game to power forwards, which boosts Knox's potential this evening. It's just a matter of whether you're willing to assume the risk that comes with it.
