3 NBA DraftKings Value Plays to Target on 12/14/17

Jordan Bell, PF/C, Golden State Warriors

DraftKings Salary: $3,600

The Golden State Warriors are the most obvious source of value at the moment, as they will be without Stephen Curry and Nick Young, while Draymond Green and Zaza Pachulia are out. That should open up more minutes for the likes of Jordan Bell, Omri Casspi ($3,500), David West ($3,600), and Andre Iguodala ($4,200).

Bell has played 20 and 26 minutes in the two most recent games Draymond has missed, putting up 18.25 and 24.5 DraftKings points, respectively. Those numbers don't blow you away, but he needs just 18 DraftKings points to reach his salary-implied value (5 points per every $1,000 in salary). If Green and Pachulia miss as expected, he will have a tough time not hitting that number.

The Mavs have allowed the fifth-most DraftKings points per game to opposing centers and rank 27th in rebounding rate. Golden State's most recent lineup featured Bell at the five with Kevin Durant and Casspi at the three and four, which would mean Bell could spend a lot of his court time being defended by 39-year-old Dirk Nowitzki. In case you haven't watched Dirk try to defend this season, he is at a slight disadvantage to Bell athletically.

Bell is a viable play in any format on a five-game slate lacking a ton of obvious value plays.
