3 NBA DraftKings Value Plays to Target on 11/16/17

Trevor Ariza, SG/SF, Houston Rockets

DraftKings Salary: $5,200

Trevor Ariza is often a forgotten man in daily fantasy, but he has been a valuable asset over the past couple weeks. In the month of November, Ariza is averaging 35.9 minutes and 29.4 DraftKings points per game. He needs just 26 DraftKings points tonight to reach five-times his salary implied value, a number he has hit in five of seven November games. He has been remarkably consistent, too, with his lowest point total during that span being 24.25 DK points.

Assuming tonight's matchup against the Phoenix Suns remains competitive, Ariza should again be a strong source of value at this price tag. Phoenix has played at the league's second-fastest pace this season and ranks 27th in defensive efficiency. As a result, the Houston Rockets carry a slate-high 120-point implied total into this one. The upside isn't through the roof, but Ariza provides a safe floor and is one of the best bets to reach value. He is a solid building block when beginning roster construction on this two-game slate.
