3 NBA DraftKings Value Plays to Target on 11/3/17

Tim Hardaway Jr., SG/SF, New York Knicks

DraftKings Salary: $5,700

After a horrendous start to the season, Tim Hardaway Jr. has bounced back in a big way. He's knocked down 13 triples over his past three games, a span during which he has averaged 42.9 DraftKings points. He's shooting well over that span (50% from the field), but it isn't as if he is putting up efficiency numbers that are unsustainable. His poor shooting to open the season (26.5% through the first four games), on the other hand, clearly was unsustainable. With the role that he occupies for a talent-deprived New York Knicks team, Hardaway's numbers should resemble something closer to the last few games than what we saw in the first four (14.2 DraftKings point average).

Even if you aren't a Hardaway truther from a season-long perspective, it is tough not to like him in this spot tonight. He needs just 28.5 DraftKings points to reach five-times his salary implied value, and his Knicks have a slate-leading implied team total (114 points) against the Phoenix Suns. Phoenix has played at the second-highest pace this season, and Hardaway ranks 13th in the NBA and first on the Knicks in transition points per game. He should thrive in this uptempo matchup and is a terrific target in any format.
