3 NBA DraftKings Value Plays to Target on 11/29/17
Dirk Nowitzki could be in for a big night against the ever-shaky Brooklyn Nets.

Dirk Nowitzki, PF/C, Dallas Mavericks

DraftKings Salary: $4,800

Bizarrely enough, the Dallas Mavericks are an awesome source of value tonight. Due to the nature of their slow-paced style of play, they seem to always be underpriced. In a matchup against the Brooklyn Nets that will almost certainly require them to up the pace, guys like Harrison Barnes ($6,100), Dirk Nowitzki, and Jose Juan Barea ($4,600) are all great values on paper.

From a matchup perspective, Dirk stands to benefit the most. Brooklyn has been abused by opposing centers all year, allowing the third-most DraftKings points to the position. While the 39-year old big man generally isn't associated with upside, Nowitzki has topped 30 DraftKings points in three of his past four games, and four of his past seven. Dallas' implied team total of 108.5 points is the fourth-highest among teams that don't have a double-digit spread and is nearly 10 points above their season scoring average. Loading up on cheap Mavericks is a great way to fit in some of the studs in great spots today.
