3 NBA DraftKings Value Plays to Target on 12/29/17

George Hill, PG/SG, Sacramento Kings

DraftKings Salary: $4,900

The issue with rostering Sacramento Kings guards all season has been minutes. With a three-man rotation at the point between George Hill, Frank Mason, and De'Aaron Fox, it has been extremely frustrating to try to figure out who will see minutes on any given night.

With Fox out of the picture for the foreseeable future, though, Hill's minutes are much more solidified. He has played at least 34 minutes in three of four games since Fox went down, with an average of 33.3.

While Hill hasn't been overly productive with his extended run, his 25.6 DraftKings point average during that span is plenty at this salary. He also proved that he still has a fairly high ceiling in the right matchup -- putting up 37.25 DraftKings versus the Brooklyn Nets in his first game without Fox.

The matchup couldn't be much better than tonight's, as Hill will face off with a Phoenix Suns team that combines a second-ranked pace of play with the league's fourth-worst defensive efficiency, creating the league's most fantasy-friendly environment for opposing point guards. No team has allowed more DraftKings points per game to opposing point guards than the Suns, who allowed Hill to put up 36.75 DraftKings points in just 28 minutes in their last meeting.

The amount of volatility to Hill's game, along with the fact that it is impossible to ever feel confident in Dave Joerger's rotations, makes it feel very gross to lock Hill into cash-game lineups. However, it doesn't get much better than this spot, and Hill is just way too cheap. He is worth a look in any format.
