Robert Williams, C, Boston Celtics

FanDuel Price: $3,500
Projected FanDuel Points: 30.7
Projected FanDuel Value: 8.78

As we discussed with earlier, the Celtics are sitting the bulk of their regular rotation including their starting frontcourt (Al Horford, Aron Baynes) and their primary backup (Daniel Theis) is banged up as well. Even as Theis is expected to suit up, the holes upfront leave Robert Williams staring at perhaps his most extensive workload of his rookie season.

Williams could see a start at center and is likely to see well over 20-minutes against the Wizards. In the only two games, Williams has played over 20 minutes this season, he has amassed at least 32 FanDuel points in both contests as he averaged 7.5 points, 9.5 rebounds, 1.0 steals, and 4.0 blocks per game.

Facing a weak Wizards’ frontcourt on Tuesday -- they rank 29th in rebound percentage (47.6%) this season -- Williams should be able to replicate the efficiency he showed the last time he played Washington. Back in December, Williams racked up 6 points, 6 rebounds, and 2 blocks for 19.2 FanDuel points in just 14.1 minutes of action against the Wizards. That comes out to 1.36 Fanduel points per minute. If he maintains that rate and plays 20 minutes tonight, the Celtics’ big man would bring in 27.2 FanDuel points at a minimum price tag.
