Oct 28, 2015; Phoenix, AZ, USA; Dallas Mavericks guard J.J. Barea (5) drives to the basket against Phoenix Suns forward Jon Leuer in the second half of the season opener at Talking Stick Resort Arena. The Mavericks defeated the Suns 111-95. Mandatory Credit: Mark J. Rebilas-USA TODAY Sports /

Punt Play of the Night: J.J. Barea, Dallas Mavericks ($4,100) vs. Milwaukee Bucks

It’s unlikely that Deron Williams will return for tonight’s game, so Barea should remain among the Mavs’ first five as a result. The diminutive guard has played amazingly well in D-Will’s stead, supplying 40.6 FPPG over his last two starts, and tonight he faces a Bucks team that is just average vs. PGs on FanDuel NBA.

Barea should continue his transformation from fan favorite into fantasy favorite as long as he garners starters’ minutes.
