3 NBA DraftKings Value Plays to Target on 3/15/18
Dejounte Murray can take advantage of a pace-up matchup against the Pelicans. Who else can save you salary tonight?

Dejounte Murray, PG, San Antonio Spurs

DraftKings Salary: $5,900

The San Antonio Spurs take on one of the teams they are attempting to displace in the playoff hunt, as they host the New Orleans Pelicans tonight in the game with the third-highest over/under. San Antonio is listed as 3.5-point home favorites and are expected to outscore their season average by 9 points.

All the Spurs stand to benefit from the advantageous game script, but Dejounte Murray in particular is in a good spot. He gets a head-to-head matchup against Rajon Rondo and a Pels squad that has given up the seventh-most DraftKings points per game to opposing point guards.

Murray's playing time and production has been inconsistent, but he has found great success in this matchup, averaging 35.5 DraftKings points in two previous meetings with New Orleans.

Murray also leads San Antonio in transition scoring on the year, and it isn't even close. He should take full advantage of the pace-up game against New Orleans. He needs just 29.5 DraftKings points at this price, which our projections have Murray easily exceeding. He is an intriguing play in all formats at this price tag.
