3 NBA DraftKings Value Plays to Target on 2/23/18

Alex Len, C, Phoenix Suns

DraftKings Salary: $4,800

Today is a bizarre slate in the fact that we have 11 games and very few obvious values. One of the obvious values we do have is Alex Len, who projects to be a fairly chalky option while filling in for Tyson Chandler. Len logged 38 minutes and put up 38.75 DraftKings points his last time out and could be needed for big minutes once again in a head-to-head matchup against DeAndre Jordan.

Len has a very strong DraftKings points per minute mark of 1.09 on the year, which makes him well worth a look if we expect him to see over 25 minutes today. He needs just 24 DraftKings points at this price tag, which is well below what our projections have him at. According to our projections, you won't find a better value than Len, who is expected to put up 30 DraftKings points in 29.7 minutes.

The matchup is far from ideal and Len has shown a propensity to bust when he gets big opportunities, but he makes a lot of sense on paper today. You'll have a tough time finding any other players priced below $5,000 with the type of upside that he possesses. He is an exciting option in any format tonight.
