Elie Okobo, PG, Phoenix Suns

FanDuel Price: $3,600
Projected FanDuel Points: 14.0
Projected FanDuel Value: 3.89

If you don't want to take a flier on Jimmer (an I can't blame you), then a slightly safer Suns option would be to use Elie Okobo, who scored 15 points in a start against the Jazz on Wednesday.

Okobo has started 13 games for the Suns this season, and he hasn't been the most impressive in those contests, averaging 15.2 FanDuel points in 25.0 minutes. He has shown flashes of solid play, however.

The aforementioned game against the Jazz was one of four starts in which he's topped 20.0 FanDuel points this season. He was also very effective in his only matchup against the Pelicans this season, putting up 19.4 FanDuel points in just 11 minutes of run.

The rosters for tonight's game, frankly, look more like a G-League game than an NBA game. There are so many injuries on both teams, and despite the players' best efforts, the tanking is real. It's the perfect opportunity for pine-sitters and rookies to shine. As with Fredette, you're likely not using Okobo in cash lineups this evening, but he's well worth taking a shot on in tournaments.
