3 NBA DraftKings Value Plays to Target on 2/1/18

Serge Ibaka, PF/C, Toronto Raptors

DraftKings Salary: $4,900

After an extended cold stretch, Serge Ibaka has turned it around. His minutes have been back where we were accustomed to seeing them, and he's averaged 27.9 DraftKings points in three games over the past seven days. He needs just 24.5 DraftKings points to hit value at this price tag, which should be no issue if he sees somewhere near the 29.2 minutes he has averaged over the past two weeks.

The matchup against the Washington Wizards is average at best as they rank just outside the bottom-10 in both rebounding rate and DraftKings points allowed to power forwards. Ibaka's Toronto Raptors do have one of the most advantageous game scripts on the slate though as their implied team total of 108.75 points is the second-highest of the night.

There are a lot of value guards to like on tonight's slate, but not much stands out at the forward position. Ibaka is one of the few sub-$5,000 forwards who you can feel comfortable with seeing close to 30 minutes, and he has a decent floor. Our projections list Ibaka as the fourth-best point-per-dollar value on DraftKings.
