3 NBA DraftKings Value Plays to Target on 10/17/18

Avery Bradley, SG, Los Angeles Clippers

DraftKings Salary: $4,400

Los Angeles Clippers starting shooting guard Avery Bradley did not have a memorable 2017-18 season. He started the season with the Detroit Pistons, with whom he didn't seem to have much rapport. He was then traded to the Cilppers, but he ended up playing just six games with them due to a nagging groin injury.

His 41.4% shooting clip was down dramatically from 46.3% the year prior, and he scored fewer points, grabbed a lot fewer boards, and dished out fewer assists. He looked far from what we all know he can be, and he'll look to start anew tonight when the Clips host the Denver Nuggets.

Not counting last year (it wasn't memorable...remember?), Bradley has scored at least 24.5 DraftKings points in 6 straight and 8 of 10 games against the Nuggets. He scored at least 13 points in those 10 games, hitting an average of 2.2 triples along the way.

Tonight's game should be a fun one to watch. The total is set at 226, which makes it the projected second-highest scoring game of the night next to the Rockets and Pelicans. We have Bradley projected to top 24.5 points again, at 26.2 DraftKings points. That translates to a value of just under 6.0 points per $1,000. If you can stomach rostering a player from a game that doesn't tip off until 10:30 p.m. EST, then Bradley should be high on your board.
