3 NBA DraftKings Value Plays to Target on 12/12/17

Buddy Hield, SG/SF, Sacramento Kings

DraftKings Salary: $5,600

It is tough to trust any player for the Sacramento Kings, but Buddy Hield has put up solid production in pretty consistent playing time recently and finds himself in a dream spot against the Phoenix Suns.

He has averaged 31.6 DraftKings points in 29.3 minutes over his past four games. That has come on 54% shooting, which is unsustainable, but his playing time and role in the offense should stick. He has taken at least 12 shots in each of those games, and he could put up a big number in the scoring column with Sacramento projected to outscore their season average by a touch more than 11 points.

Any time a team is projected for that big of a boost, it is worth taking note. Their 107.75-point implied team total shouldn't come as much of a surprise, either, as the Suns have played at the league's second-quickest pace and are the only team with a defensive efficiency mark worse than Sacramento's.

Sacramento doesn't get out and run often, but when they have, Hield has stood out as their best transition scorer. He put up 26.5 DraftKings points in just 16 minutes in his previous meeting with Phoenix this season, and now that he's seeing more run, Buddy is a nice value option tonight.
