3 NBA DraftKings Value Plays to Target on 3/19/18
With Domantas Sabonis out and Myles Turner questionable, Al Jefferson could be a smashing value today.

Cameron Payne, PG/SG, Chicago Bulls

DraftKings Salary: $4,700

The Chicago Bulls are the most obvious source of value today as they will be without Kris Dunn, Zach LaVine, and Lauri Markkanen, while Noah Vonleh is questionable. With a similar injury report this weekend, Bobby Portis ($7,100), Denzel Valentine ($5,700), and Cameron Payne were the biggest beneficiaries.

Our projections like all three today, but Payne stands out as the best value among the bunch. Per our models, Payne is third-best value on the entire slate at a price tag that requires just 23.5 DraftKings points of him to pay off (5 points per $1,000 in salary).

Payne has averaged exactly a DraftKings point per minute on the year, so he should have no trouble reaching 23.5 DraftKings points tonight, considering he logged 33 minutes in his most recent game. There's room for growth in his per-minute numbers, too, as he will face off against Emmanuel Mudiay and a New York Knicks team that has given up top-10 production to opposing point guards. Mudiay is one of the league's worst individual defenders, and he should provide a decent boost to Payne's per-minute efficiency.

At this price, Payne is a strong option in all formats and helps you get access to some of the top-priced studs on today's slate.
