3 NBA DraftKings Value Plays to Target on 3/21/18

E'Twaun Moore, SG/SF, New Orleans Pelicans

DraftKings Salary: $4,300

The New Orleans Pelicans were without Jrue Holiday last night due to an illness, and he is listed as questionable heading into tonight's contest. Last night, it was Rajon Rondo ($5,700) who picked up the slack, as he finished one rebound short of a triple-double. If Holiday is out again tonight, Rondo would again be a strong value at sub-$6,000. But E'Twaun Moore is a cheaper way to get exposure to the situation.

Compared to Rondo, Moore has seen bigger boosts in production with Holiday off the court this season. With both Holiday and DeMarcus Cousins off the floor, Moore's usage rate is up from 16.7% to 21%, while his DraftKings points per minute increase from 0.68 to 0.83. Those numbers aren't spectacular, but they are more than enough for a player who needs just 21.5 DraftKings points to reach value.

Moore has reached that mark in each of his past five games, even with Holiday active for four of them. He should have no problem reaching value once again, and he comes with the upside to do much more if Holiday is ultimately ruled out.
