JaKarr Sampson, SF, Chicago Bulls

FanDuel Price: $3,500
Projected FanDuel Points: 23.2
Projected FanDuel Value: 6.62

JaKarr Sampson has played just one game in the NBA this season, but the Bulls' forward absolutely went off in it.

On Monday, Sampson dropped 22 points with 7 rebounds, 1 steal, and 1 block in 29.7 minutes for 35.4 FanDuel points versus the New York Knicks. Sampson came off the bench but was able to play significant minutes as the Bulls have given up on being competitive for the rest of the season. They are currently giving multiple members of the Windy City Bulls (their G-League affiliate) significant minutes, Sampson included. None of that is going to change on Wednesday versus the Wizards.

Costing the minimum, Sampson is worth a punt play in DFS purely for the volume of minutes he is likely to receive. If he somehow was able to replicate his performance from Monday, he could be a tournament winner as that would represent over 10.0 FanDuel points per $1,000 of salary.

While that level of performance is not likely for Sampson to sustain, with the Wizards allowing opponents to shoot 48.1% since the All-Star break, Sampson is still expected to bring a wealth of value tonight. Our models project him as the second-best small forward value play on Wednesday.
