Isaiah Canaan, PG, Minnesota Timberwolves

FanDuel Price: $3,500
Projected FanDuel Points: 15.0
Projected FanDuel Value: 4.29

There are major question marks surrounding the availability of Minnesota Timberwolves point guards tonight. There is a strong possibility that Jeff Teague, Derrick Rose, Tyus Jones, and Jerryd Bayless could all be sitting on the sidelines tonight, nursing injuries.

If that does happen to be the case, then Isaiah Canaan would be looking at a starting gig and potentially huge minutes in what should be a very high-scoring game against the New Orleans Pelicans. Canaan started 15 games as a member of the Phoenix Suns earlier this season. While his numbers weren't astounding by any means, he was able to average 18.0 FanDuel points in 28.3 minutes per game.

He would be in line for potentially many more minutes than that this evening if the point guard injury plague is not resolved. With the uncertainty, we project him for 15.0 points in roughly 23.7 minutes of run. Both of those numbers could easily climb tonight, so keep an eye here at numberFire to check on Canaan's starting status.
