3 NBA DraftKings Value Plays to Target on 11/24/17
Jeremy Lamb, SG/SF, Charlotte Hornets
DraftKings Salary: $5,100
Nicolas Batum has been declared out for tonight's contest, which opens up a starting role for Jeremy Lamb. Lamb was regularly priced in the low-$6,000 range as a starter earlier in the year -- and he put up numbers that clearly would eclipse value at his current price tag. At this number, Lamb would need to deliver just 25.5 DraftKings points to deliver value, a number he has reached in four-straight games. He's coming off of a 47.25-fantasy point performance on DraftKings (in an overtime game), and has the ability to just crush value at this price.
To top it off, Lamb draws a matchup against the Cleveland Cavaliers, who have been unbelievably bad defensively this season. The Cavs rank dead last in defensive efficiency and DraftKings points allowed to opposing shooting guards. They've also allowed the second-most three-pointers and third-highest three-point percentage, which is great news for Lamb, who is averaging 3.9 three-point attempts per game this season while shooting 40.9% from beyond the arc -- both career-highs. As a young scoring guard, Lamb has some volatility to his game. If you can stomach some level of risk, he is a terrific play in all formats, though. He should have no trouble delivering way above value at this price.
