3 NBA DraftKings Value Plays to Target on 10/20/17

Larry Nance Jr., SF/PF, Los Angeles Lakers

DraftKings Salary: $4,300

There was some ambiguity surrounding how the Los Angeles Lakers would use their trio of talented power forwards heading into their first game, but last night's loss to the Los Angeles Clippers was telling. Larry Nance Jr. started and played 29 minuets, while Julius Randle and Kyle Kuzma respectively played 18 and 17 minutes off the bench.

Nance had a double-double heading into the fourth quarter and could have seen 30-plus minutes if the game hadn't been a blowout. He finished with 14 points, 12 rebounds, and a block, and appears locked in as the starting power forward for the time being.

He should have every chance to pile up the stats again tonight, as Los Angeles faces off against a Phoenix Suns team in a game that will be played at a blistering pace. Phoenix played a little smaller in their first game, using Josh Jackson at the four, which could result in more playing time for Kuzma, but Nance also has the athleticism to defend small-ball fours.

At his price, he needs just 21.5 DraftKings points to hit value, a feat that should be easy to accomplish if he sees near 30 minutes again.
