3 NBA DraftKings Value Plays to Target on 4/5/18

Jamal Murray, PG/SG, Denver Nuggets

DraftKings Salary: $6,300

Normally, we wouldn't classify a player priced above $6,000 as a value play, but Jamal Murray's price has to be pointed out, because it is easily the most egregious pricing discrepancy between the two sites. While he sits at a lofty $7,900 price tag on FanDuel, Murray comes in $1,600 cheaper on DraftKings -- and for no good reason. He's been in excellent form since Gary Harris went down, playing a ridiculous 37.2 minutes per game and averaging 36.4 DraftKings points during that span. He needs just 31.5 at this price tag, so he stands out like a sore thumb in this spot.

Tonight's game is taking place at the Pepsi Center, where Murray has averaged 4.4 more DraftKings points per game on the year. The game script couldn't get much better, as his Nuggets have the highest implied team total on the slate in the game with the highest over/under. He also draws a Minnesota Timberwolves team that has struggled mightily on the defensive end since losing Jimmy Butler. He's averaged 43.6 DraftKings points in two meetings with the Wolves, and another huge game could be in store tonight.

Our projections love Murray tonight, too, listing him as the second-best value among players priced above $6,000. He is an excellent play in all formats at this price tag and is the first way you should look to get exposure to the high total in this game.
