3 NBA DraftKings Value Plays to Target on 1/24/18

Montrezl Harrell, PF/C, Los Angeles Clippers

DraftKings Salary: $4,700

Speaking of per-minute monsters, let's get excited about Montrezl Harrell. With DeAndre Jordan doubtful to suit up, we should again see extended run for Harrell here. Harrell's minutes can be a bit unpredictable on a game-to-game basis, but in a matchup against a crafty floor-stretching big in Al Horford, those minutes should be secure.

The Los Angeles Clippers are going to have a tough time running out Willie Reed for extended periods, as he simply doesn't have the mobility for this matchup. We should see Harrell top 30 minutes for the fourth time in five games tonight.

Harrell's DraftKings points per minute sits at 1.11 with Jordan sidelined this season, which comes in just behind Louis Williams (1.17) for third on the team, for reference. At this price, he needs 23.5 DraftKings points, which would require just 21.2 minutes at a 1.11 DraftKings points per minute rate.

You could argue that a tough Boston Celtics defense will drop his efficiency, but it is also worth noting that Boston is on the back end of a back to back here and was torn up by the Los Angeles Lakers' bigs last night.

As long as Harrell sees the 25 to 30 minutes that we expect from him with Jordan sidelined, he should have no problem exceeding value at this price tag. He is a fringe cash-game option and an elite tournament play if we have word that Jordan is out.
