3 NBA DraftKings Value Plays to Target on 10/19/18

Boban Marjanovic, C, Los Angeles Clippers

DraftKings Price: $3,900

I'm not ashamed to admit it; I've sipped the Boban Kool-Aid for what seems like a decade now. With his opening night showing, perhaps all of that wishful thinking has finally come true.

Though he didn't start over teammate Marcin Gortat, on Wednesday, Los Angeles Clippers center Boban Marjanovic saw 18 minutes of run and looked to be -- by far -- the better player of the two. Boban finished the game with an uber-efficient 18 points and 8 rebounds. For you roto players out there, he also hit six-of-six free throws.

In fact, Boban has always been efficient. He averaged 1.40 DraftKings points per minute last year, a number that has steadily grown in each of his years in the league.

The only problem with using him -- like always -- is that his workload is a question mark. While his 18 minutes were an encouraging sign, will he see the court that much again this evening? With a matchup against Steven Adams and the Oklahoma City Thunder this evening, it would make sense that Doc Rivers has him on the court helping out as much as possible.

Sense, of course, has never gone hand-in-hand with Boban, though. So, if you are a Boban truther like I am, his $3,900 price makes him worth firing up. If you are risk-averse, then he's probably not the player for you.
