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

Sterling Brown, SG, Milwaukee Bucks

DraftKings Salary: $3,600

The Milwaukee Bucks are another team that heads into this slate extremely banged up, as they could very well be without Giannis Antetokounmpo, Eric Bledsoe, and Malcolm Brogdon. Their potential absences should open up as much playing time as Sterling Brown and Matthew Dellavedova can handle against the New York Knicks, who have struggled to defend guards this season.

Of the two, Brown (0.71 DraftKings points per minute) has been slightly more efficient than Dellavedova (0.69), although neither has stood out. Delly should have the ball in his hands more and is a bit safer of an option, but Brown has the upside to smash value at a price tag that requires just 18 DraftKings points of him. In games with 20-plus minutes this season, Brown has averaged 16.3 DraftKings points, and in games of 25-plus minutes, he has averaged 19.1.

The potential is there for well over 20 minutes if all three of those dudes sit out for Milwaukee, so keep a close eye on the injury report. Brown could end up being a sneaky source of value in tournaments tonight.
