3 NBA DraftKings Value Plays to Target on 1/31/18

Terry Rozier, PG/SG, Boston Celtics

DraftKings Salary: $5,300

The Boston Celtics will be without Kyrie Irving and Marcus Smart tonight, while Shane Larkin is also listed as questionable. Irving's absence results in large usage bumps for regular starters, but the obvious standout value is Terry Rozier, who will be the highest-owned player on the slate. With potentially every point guard on the roster not named Terry sitting out, Rozier could be looking at as many minutes as he can handle against a New York Knicks team that cannot defend point guards. That is a recipe for success at any price, but especially at just $5,300.

Rozier already has a strong DraftKings points per minute mark at 0.89 on the year, but when he hasn't had to share the court with Irving and Smart, that number has jumped to 0.99. He'd need just 26 minutes to reach value at that type of efficiency, which is a mark that he is guaranteed to surpass barring injury or foul trouble.

Don't overthink this one -- Rozier needs just 26.5 DraftKings points to hit five-times value. He is the most obvious source of value on the slate and isn't worth fading in any format.
