5 NBA FanDuel Value Plays to Target on 3/4/19

Pat Connaughton, SG, Milwaukee Bucks

FanDuel Price: $4,300
Projected FanDuel Points: 15.7
Projected FanDuel Value: 3.66

It's always fun to watch when unheralded players go on a run, and Milwaukee Bucks guard/forward Pat Connaughton is on such a run right now.

No, Connaughton isn't going out and putting up triple-doubles every night, but in DFS, he's been a sneaky solid play over the past week, scoring at least 22.7 FanDuel points in four-straight games. Connaughton has taken advantage of Sterling Brown and George Hill's absences, getting at least 24 minutes of run in each of those contests and a whopping 35 in his last outing, a 115-111 loss to the Utah Jazz in which Eric Bledsoe and Malcolm Brogdon also didn't play.

Brogdon and Bledsoe could be back tonight, but Connaughton should still see minutes in the low 20's with both Brown and Hill listed as out tonight. He may not be a household name and may never have graced your DFS lineups before, but he deserves strong consideration, especially in a plus matchup against the Phoenix Suns, a game that could easily turn into a blowout and give Patty C more minutes.
