3 NBA DraftKings Value Plays to Target on 11/8/18
Jerami Grant is on a roll and draws another plus matchup against the Rockets on Thursday night.

Isaiah Canaan, PG, Phoenix Suns

DraftKings Price: $3,900

On a short four-game slate, it's not often you can get a starting point guard below $4,000. But in Isaiah Canaan, you're getting a starting point guard averaging 28.0 minutes and 19.1 DraftKings points a game in 2018.

Since returning from a one-game absence, Canaan has been even better, tallying 23.75, 19.00 and 24.25 DraftKings points in consecutive games, all the while playing 32.9 minutes per night. He has at least 13 points in each of those matchups and has shot 55.6% from the floor and 53.8% from three.

Now, we can't expect Canaan -- a 35.2% career shooter from three -- to continue this type of efficiency, but he really doesn't have to at this price. If he in any way reaches double-digit points and adds in the six combined assists and rebounds he's averaging, that's just about enough to justify him as a punt as our top point-per-dollar value of the evening.

Boston isn't an easy team to score against, as they rank first in defensive rating and third in opponent points per game, but this is a short slate and someone has to get fantasy points for the Phoenix Suns. Pay down here so you can pay up elsewhere.
