5 NBA FanDuel Value Plays to Target on 3/15/19

Al-Farouq Aminu, PF, Portland Trail Blazers

FanDuel Price: $4,600
Projected FanDuel Points: 24.2
Projected FanDuel Value: 5.25

The Portland Trail Blazers stand just 0.5 games back of the Houston Rockets for the number-three seed in the Western Conference playoff race. While it's unlikely that they surpass them tonight with the Rockets facing the Phoenix Suns, they should have a solid chance to at least keep pace as they take on the New Orleans Pelicans this evening.

One player who should be a big part of tonight's game plan against the Pelicans is former Pelican Al-Farouq Aminu. Aminu has not been the most reliable fantasy player lately. Despite getting solid minutes, he's failed to crack 25 FanDuel points in eight straight contests. That has a solid chance of changing tonight.

Aminu's scored a minimum of 32.0 FanDuel points in each of his past four games against New Orleans, finishing with a double-double three times. With his recent poor play, he'll likely have the added bonus of having relatively low ownership in any tournaments you decide to use him in. We project him for 24.2 FanDuel points with upside for 39.6.
