Iman Shumpert, SG, Sacramento Kings

Price: $4,000

Iman Shumpert has played 30-plus minutes in each of his last two games after sitting out last Saturday. He's averaging a reasonable 27.5 minutes per game over his last 9 starts and 26.5 per game as a starter on the year.

His fantasy production has been underwhelming in recent games, with fewer than 20 FanDuel points in four of his last five. He did show plenty of upside two games ago, though, notching 28.5 FanDuel points. He also has 20-plus FanDuel points in four of his last nine, averaging 20.8 per game in that stretch, which is better than 5.0 per $1,000 of salary today.

Tonight's matchup with the Golden State Warriors has a slate-high 236.0-point over/under, so even as 7.5-point underdogs, the Kings' 114.25-point implied total is the slate's fifth-highest mark. A high-scoring game like this puts Shumpert in a great spot, especially if he continues to play minutes into the 30s.
