3 NBA DraftKings Value Plays to Target on 3/20/18

Nerlens Noel, C, Dallas Mavericks

DraftKings Salary: $3,800

The Dallas Mavericks are giving Nerlens Noel some playing time, and he has responded by averaging 25.8 DraftKings points in 22 minutes per game over his past four. His pricing hasn't caught up as he still needs just 19.0 DraftKings points for five-times value at this salary.

Noel has easily topped that in three of his past four games, and it would make sense that he'd be needed to play big minutes again tonight against Anthony Davis and company. It is also worth noting that the New Orleans Pelicans have been killed by opposing bigs since DeMarcus Cousins went down. They have a 48.4% rebounding rate during that time, which would rank fourth-worst over the course of the full season.

Even with Dennis Smith and Wesley Matthews out, Dallas is projected to outscore their season average tonight in what is a pace-up game for the Mavs. Noel should thrive in the uptempo matchup and is worth a look in all formats.
