Shelvin Mack, PG, Memphis Grizzlies

FanDuel Price: $4,800
Projected FanDuel Points: 24.9
Projected FanDuel Value: 5.19

The Sacramento Kings are off to an impressive 8-6 start, ranking 18th in offensive rating and 9th in points per game. However, their 105.3 pace is first in the NBA and, when combined with a 109.7 defensive rating, brings their opponents' scoring average to 115.5 points per game -- 25th in the league.

Based on their uptempo all-offense style, the Kings also allow the sixth-most FanDuel points per 48 minutes (47.05) to the point guard position. And that should be enough for Shelvin Mack -- combo-guard by role -- to get a worthwhile piece of the pie behind and alongside Mike Conley in the Memphis Grizzlies' backcourt.

Not only are the Grizz playing up in pace by about 10 possessions per game, but the oddsmakers have them pegged for 110.75 points, or 7.85 above their season average. That's big for Mack, a guy who gets over half of his fantasy points (11.5 of 22.75) via scoring. He should thrive in this matchup.
