3 NBA DraftKings Value Plays to Target on 11/13/17

J.R. Smith, SG/SF, Cleveland Cavaliers

DraftKings Salary: $3,800

J.R. Smith has finally started to find his shot, which couldn't have come at a better time than tonight's return to Madison Square Garden. With the Cleveland Cavaliers playing without Isaiah Thomas, Derrick Rose, and Tristan Thompson, they've had to tighten up their rotations a bit, which has led to Smith averaging 35.7 minutes over his past three games.

He's also begun to shoot the rock the way we know he can, knocking down 48.7% of his shots over his last three games after shooting 27.5% through his first 10. This has led to a respectable DraftKings average of 25.1 points, which is plenty at his current salary. The Cavs have the fifth-highest implied team total on the slate (112 points) against a New York Knicks team ranked 24th in defensive efficiency, so there should be plenty of scoring opportunities for Smith.
