5 NBA FanDuel Value Plays to Target on 2/1/19

Bam Adebayo, PF, Miami Heat

FanDuel Price: $4,400
Projected FanDuel Points: 22.7
Projected FanDuel Value: 5.15

It's never going to feel super good playing Bam Adebayo when Hassan Whiteside is healthy, and while he's certainly a high-risk play (read: don't play him in cash), his upside makes him well worth a look in tournaments.

We've seen him drop fewer than 20 FanDuel points in five of his last eight games, but if we expand our view back a bit, he's also topped 5-times value in 7 of his last 14 games, hitting 7-times value (30.8 fantasy points) in four of those games, coming up just short of that mark with 30.4 in another.

His minutes tend to fluctuate, with fewer than 20 in three of those nine games, but an average of 25.1 per game, and a pair of contests with 30 or more.

Adebayo is averaging better than a FanDuel point per minute on the season, and even in a tough matchup with a stout Oklahoma City frontcourt, his upside gives him plenty of tournament appeal at this price-point.
