3 NBA DraftKings Value Plays to Target on 10/17/17

Jayson Tatum, SF/PF, Boston Celtics

DraftKings Salary: $3,900

The Boston Celtics will start Jayson Tatum in place of Marcus Morris tonight, and the rookie should see all the minutes he can handle. While he draws the worst individual matchup for any Boston player (the defensive-minded Jae Crowder), Tatum needs just 19.5 DraftKings points to reach five-times his salary-implied value.

Tatum will likely struggle a bit to score, but he has the ability to contribute across the board. That is exactly what you want from a player this cheap, as his ability to pile up counting stats makes it easy to pay off such a discounted price tag. He's probably going to be a popular pick, but is a tough fade if you're trying to roster the likes of LeBron James, Kevin Durant, or James Harden.
