3 NBA DraftKings Value Plays to Target on 2/12/19

Gordon Hayward, SF/PF, Boston Celtics

DraftKings Price: $4,700

You don't have to look past the Celtics bench in order to find another solid value play for this evening. Gordon Hayward is in position to come through in a big way, albeit in riskier fashion than Morris.

Hayward's 2018-19 season has been a year of transition. He is averaging just 10.8 real-world points per game, the worst mark since his rookie year. His minutes are down, yes, but one can't hide his poor shooting. His 42.8% mark from the field and 31.7% mark from deep are both the second-worst shooting percentages of his career.

That said, there's reason to have hope tonight. Hayward has thrived when Kyrie Irving has been out, which is the case tonight. Though he's averaged just 0.8 more minutes in those eight games, Hayward's scoring jumps from 10.0 points per game with Kyrie to 14.6 points without Kyrie, buoyed by an increase in usage rate from 18.6% to 23.1%.

Our models project him to finish with 24.2 DraftKings points, a value of 5.2 points per $1,000.
