3 NBA DraftKings Value Plays to Target on 11/24/17
Hawks rookie John Collins continues to produce big numbers at a dirt-cheap price tag. Which other players are bargains tonight on DraftKings?

John Collins, PF/C, Atlanta Hawks

DraftKings Salary: $4,800

If Lamb isn't the auto-play value on this slate, it's John Collins. The Atlanta Hawks will again be without both Luke Babbitt and Mike Muscala, which should again mean big minutes for the rookie. Collins has been a monster on a per-minute basis all season, but Atlanta was reluctant to give him minutes at power forward, alongside Dewayne Dedmon at center.

Injuries and Collins' stellar play has forced the hand of the Hawks coaching staff, and they've given the rookie 36 and 38 minutes in his two most recent outings. The result has been two games of 35-plus DraftKings points, even in subpar matchups against the San Antonio Spurs and Los Angeles Clippers. In fact, Collins has yet to score below 30 DraftKings points in a game when he played at least 25 minutes (five games).

His play was so strong early on that he saw his price tag rise to $5,600 -- even in a reserve role. Given the fact that he is now starting and playing 30-plus minutes, his sub-$5,000 price tag is pretty laughable. The risk for foul trouble is there against an aggressive offensive frontcourt of Kristaps Porzingis and Enes Kanter, but it is tough to fade Collins at this price.
