5 NBA FanDuel Value Plays to Target on 12/17/18

Marcin Gortat, C, Los Angeles Clippers

FanDuel Price: $3,500
Projected FanDuel Points: 18.2
Projected FanDuel Value: 5.2

Marcin Gortat recorded his first instance of playing back-to-back games logging 20-plus minutes, a sign that he may be getting extra work on a consistent basis. During that span, he put up just 3.5 points and 2.5 assists but cleaned the glass with 8.0 rebounds.

The Los Angeles Clippers match up against the Portland Trail Blazers, who are ranked second in the league with 48.8 rebounds per game, so Gortat's presence may be called upon more than usual.

Based on our metrics, Gortat has the third-highest value among all centers on Monday's slate. Priced at the bare minimum salary, he is worth considering as a value play.
