3 NBA DraftKings Value Plays to Target on 11/7/17

Allen Crabbe, SG/SF, Brooklyn Nets

DraftKings Salary: $4,300

After being relegated to a bench role, Allen Crabbe moved into the starting lineup last night. He had played 29 minutes in back-to-back games and was expected to crack 30 for the first time this season, but foul trouble limited him to just 23. Even in limited playing time, he still eclipsed his salary-implied value of 21.5 DraftKings points. Crabbe is now averaging 30.3 DraftKings points over his past couple games.

With Rondae Hollis-Jefferson getting banged up last night and Trevor Booker also questionable, Brooklyn is suddenly very thin in their frontcourt. If one or both are forced to miss, DeMarre Carroll would have to slide over to the four full time, while Crabbe and Caris LeVert could also see some time there.

Keep an eye on the status of those two -- especially Hollis-Jefferson. Crabbe could be in for 30-plus minutes tonight, which should easily be enough for him to reach value at this price.
