3 NBA DraftKings Value Plays to Target on 2/28/18

JaMychal Green, SF/PF, Memphis Grizzlies

DraftKings Salary: $5,400

The Memphis Grizzlies are projected to outscore their season average by nine points despite playing without Tyreke Evans, Wayne Selden Jr., Deyonta Davis, and Chandler Parsons. JaMychal Green has taken on a larger role for the shorthanded Grizzlies, topping 34 minutes in consecutive games and averaging 32.2 DraftKings points over his past three. With Davis also out now, he may have to pick up some additional minutes at the five. Assuming he stays out of foul trouble, Green could push for 35-plus minutes.

That type of playing time would make him one of the strongest values on the slate, considering his 0.90 DraftKings points per minute on the year. He needs just 27 DraftKings points at this price point, which could be accomplished in 30 minutes at this pace. He could certainly push for more minutes than that and could easily post a higher per-minute efficiency in an up-tempo matchup against the Phoenix Suns.

Phoenix combines the league's third-fastest pace of play with the worst defensive efficiency to create an extremely fantasy-friendly environment. Green has actually been Memphis' strongest transition scorer this season, shooting 68.6% on the fast break and ranking in the 81st percentile in transition points per possession. He should thrive in an up-and-down game and is an appealing value play in any format.
