T.J. McConnell, PG, Philadelphia 76ers

FanDuel Price: $4,200
Projected FanDuel Points: 17.1
Projected FanDuel Value: 4.08

After a slow start to the season, T.J. McConnell has been a steady fantasy force off the Philadelphia 76ers' bench in the last month and a half. After averaging just 15.5 minutes per game in October and November, since the calendar flipped to December, McConnell is averaging over 25 minutes per game. In those 24 games he has played since December 1, McConnell is averaging just under 22 FanDuel points per game. He has been steady, too, collecting at least 20 FanDuel points in 17 of those 24 contests (71%).

Bringing in a solid floor, McConnell could be looking at additional playing time on Wednesday as Ben Simmons is questionable to play due to an illness. In the only game Simmons has missed, McConnell racked up over 32 minutes, finishing with 10 points, 8 assists, and 24.6 FanDuel points.

Also working in McConnell’s favor on Wednesday is the favorable matchup with the San Antonio Spurs. San Antonio has given up 0.92 FanDuel points per minute to opposing point guards, an above-average rate in the NBA and the eighth-most of the 20 teams playing on Wednesday.
