3 NBA DraftKings Value Plays to Target on 11/14/17
Already enjoying a solid start to his year, DeMarre Carroll is primed to keep it up tonight against the Boston Celtics. Which other NBA DFS value plays should you be considering for Tuesday's contests?

DeMarre Carroll, SF/PF, Brooklyn Nets

DraftKings Salary: $5,800

DeMarre Carroll has enjoyed a renaissance season with the Brooklyn Nets, averaging 13.6 points and 6.9 rebounds, which are both on pace to be career highs. He's putting up 28.5 DraftKings points a night, which is right in line with his five-times salary implied value at this price (29 DraftKings points).

He would already be a solid value, but when you throw in the fact that Brooklyn will be without their leading scorer (D'Angelo Russell) in this one, Carroll really stands out at a sub-$6k price tag. Per Rotogrinders Court IQ, no player has seen a larger boost in production with Russell off the floor than Carroll. In 79 minutes without him, Carroll has upped his usage rate by 4.8% and his DraftKings points per minute by 0.31. While that may not seem like a significant amount, it would change his current DraftKings average from 28.5 to 37.3, assuming he continued to play 28.4 minutes per game.

A matchup against potentially the best defense in the league in the Boston Celtics is not ideal, but Carroll's expanded role makes him worth a long look on a small three-game slate. He's viable in all formats at this price.
