3 NBA DraftKings Value Plays to Target on 12/7/17

Raymond Felton, PG/SG, Oklahoma City Thunder

DraftKings Salary: $3,200

With both Paul George and Jerami Grant out for the Oklahoma City Thunder tonight, many will turn to Andre Roberson ($3,600) and Alex Abrines ($3,300) as value plays. Those dudes aren't bad options in cash games, if you're into playing cash games on four-game slates. However, neither has shown much fantasy upside. Abrines has yet to top 20 DraftKings points in a game this season, while Roberson has topped out at 24.75. Raymond Felton, on the other hand, has shown the ability to go for 30-plus DraftKings points.

Even with George off the floor, Abrines has averaged just 0.53 DraftKings points on a 16.6% usage rate. Roberson has a laughable 0.35 DraftKings points per minute average with George off the floor, along with a 7.7% usage rate. Felton has been much more productive with his minutes, averaging 0.95 DraftKings points on a 23.2% usage rate with George sidelined. If playing any of the OKC value plays in tournaments, Felton clearly carries the most upside. He needs just 16 DraftKings points at this price, but could go for much more than that in an uptempo matchup against a defensively-challenged Brooklyn Nets team.
