3 NBA DraftKings Value Plays to Target on 1/8/18

Tyrone Wallace, PG/SG, Los Angeles Clippers

DraftKings Salary: $3,600

The Los Angeles Clippers started Jawun Evans ($4,100) in their most-recent contest with both Austin Rivers and Milos Teodosic sidelined. He played 28 minutes and was productive offensively, but he struggled noticeably on the defensive end (against Stephen Curry, to be fair). This resulted in L.A.'s most recent two-way player, Tyrone Wallace, getting more run.

Wallace is a former second-round pick with impressive length (6'6" with a 6'10" wingspan) for a point guard, and coach Doc Rivers apparently liked what he brought to the table defensively, because Wallace finished with 31 minutes of court time in his first game with the Clips.

If Teodosic sits once again, Evans and Wallace would be left to man the majority of the point guard minutes tonight in a matchup against the Atlanta Hawks. Atlanta has been one of the league's worst teams against opposing guards thanks in large part to the struggles of Dennis Schroder. For all he brings on the offensive side, Schroder is a complete liability on defense.

If Schroder is lighting up Evans early on, we could again see more minutes from Wallace in an attempt to slow down Schroder. At a salary that requires just 18 DraftKings points of him to reach value, Wallace is worth a look in tournaments in this matchup.
