3 NBA DraftKings Value Plays to Target on 2/7/18

Jeff Green, SF/PF, Cleveland Cavaliers

DraftKings Salary: $3,700

Dwyane Wade is expected to sit out tonight's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves, which opens up plenty of opportunity for Cleveland's other bench scorers -- namely Jeff Green. The Cleveland Cavaliers have the slate's third-highest implied team total, while the over/under leads all others. There should be plenty of fantasy goodness to go around, especially for The Land's depleted bench.

With Jae Crowder moving into the starting lineup and Wade presumably out, Green is the clear-cut top scoring option among Cleveland's bench players. He's seen a 2% usage rate bump and 0.05 DraftKings points per minute boost with Wade off the floor. At 0.87 DraftKings points per minute, he'd need just 21 minutes to hit the 18.5 DraftKings points needed of him to reach value at this salary.

The natural volatility that comes with Green's game makes him tough to trust in cash games, but the upside is certainly there for a huge outing in tournaments.
