3 NBA DraftKings Value Plays to Target on 10/20/17
Tyson Chandler could be in line for a nice game against the Los Angeles Lakers. Which other sleepers might amp up your DraftKings roster?

Robert Covington, SF/PF, Philadelphia 76ers

DraftKings Salary: $5,700

Robert Covington was grossly underpriced for his opening night game, and he rewarded those who rostered him by racking up 46.25 DraftKings points. His price has risen $700 since then, but he still seems too cheap. DraftKings has the Philadelphia 76ers combo forward in the same price range as trendy breakout candidates such as Jayson Tatum ($5,800), Jeremy Lamb ($5,700), and Jaylen Brown ($5,500), as opposed to FanDuel, where he comes in as the 5th-most expensive small forward ($6,800).

He should have every chance to post another strong game tonight, as his Sixers have the 7th-highest implied team total against the Boston Celtics, who have struggled to defend opposing wings after losing Jae Crowder and Avery Bradley in the offseason. (Losing Gordon Hayward on opening night won't help matters.)

LeBron James and Giannis Antetokounmpo have both topped 60 DraftKings points against the Celtics already. Obviously, those are two of the most talented wings in the world, but it goes to show how helpless Boston has looked against the position.

Look for strong games from Covington and Ben Simmons ($7,500) in this one.
