3 NBA DraftKings Value Plays to Target on 12/1/17
Depending on who else suits up for the Utah Jazz, Alec Burks could be in a great spot to crush value on Friday. Which other low-priced NBA players are worth targeting in daily fantasy basketball contests?

Kelly Olynyk, PF/C, Miami Heat

DraftKings Salary: $4,400

With Hassan Whiteside out for at least a week, the Miami Heat will turn to rookie Bam Adebayo ($4,100) as their starter, although we have seen Kelly Olynyk be the more effective fantasy option of the two. In games Whiteside has missed this season, Adebayo has averaged 19.6 DraftKings points while Olynyk has averaged 29 DraftKings points. He saw his price rise to as high as $5,800, so his $4,400 salary for this one seems like quite the bargain.

The Heat may be more inclined to play the physical big man in Adebayo in a matchup against Dwight Howard, but don't let that keep you away from Olynyk, especially in tournaments. He needs just 22 DraftKings points at this price, which he has topped in five of the six games he's filled in for Whiteside.

Both he and Adebayo are viable plays at their salaries, but Olynyk is the preferred option.
