3 NBA DraftKings Value Plays to Target on 4/9/18

Luke Kennard, SG/SF, Detroit Pistons

DraftKings Salary: $4,000

With the Detroit Pistons out of playoff contention and Reggie Bullock being shut down for the remainder of the season, Luke Kennard will start the remaining games at shooting guard. He has averaged 29.5 minutes and 22 DraftKings points in his two most recent starts -- a level of efficiency that is nearly identical to his season-long rate of 0.74 DraftKings per minute.

Kennard needs just 20 DraftKings points at this price tag, and that can be reached in 27 minutes of action at his per-minute rate. He has been pushing for 30 minutes as a starter, so he should be able to hit five-times value again tonight.

He ranks as the third-best value among players priced below $6,000, according to our projections, and is in play in either format unless value plays with more upside emerge prior to lock.
