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

Moritz Wagner, C, Los Angeles Lakers

FanDuel Price: $3,800
Projected FanDuel Points: 13.9
Projected FanDuel Value: 3.66

Another start, another solid performance for Los Angeles Lakers center Moritz Wagner. Wagner hasn't exactly been setting the DFS world on fire, but he's provided some much needed consistency for lineups.

Wagner scored 13 and grabbed 6 boards in last night's blowout loss to the Golden State Warriors. In his past three games, he's scored 19.9, 20.3, and 22.2 FanDuel points. Is he single-handedly winning you tournaments with those numbers? No, but he's also returning solid value for a salary that remains under $4,000.

While he could head back to the bench if Kyle Kuzma returns tonight, does it really make sense for the Lakers to risk further injury to Kuzma with only three games to play? I certainly don't think it does. The only problem here is that tonight's game against the Los Angeles Clippers is late, so we might not know Kuzma's status until well after the slate starts. If you use Wagner, keep this in the back of your mind and be OK with dropping his score.
