5 NBA FanDuel Value Plays to Target on 12/14/18

Torrey Craig, SG, Denver Nuggets

Price: $3,800

With both Will Barton and Gary Harris out, Torrey Craig has started each of the last four games, playing an average of 25.1 minutes. His production hasn't been what you'd like to see, posting games of 16.3, 4.8, 22.5 and 11.5 FanDuel points (averaging 13.8), but the playing time is enough to keep him in play here.

Even at his low career-average pace of 0.65 FanDuel points per minute, we'd expect him to average better than 2.5 FanDuel points per game better than he is when playing 25.1 minutes. He also had his minutes limited to 18.5 in one of those four, having fouled out early, and he's averaging more than 27 per game in his other three.

Even against a tough Oklahoma City Thunder defense, the potential that he plays 27-plus minutes for only $300 above the minimum makes him a viable punt option on a slate on which most of the strong values are priced north of $4,000.
