3 NBA DraftKings Value Plays to Target on 11/14/18
Mike Muscala should continue seeing extended minutes with two starting forwards out of the mix in Philadelphia.

Mike Muscala, PF/C, Philadelphia 76ers

Price: $3,500

No Saric and no Covington makes Mike Muscala a strong value option.

We've only seen one game for Muscala with those two gone from Philadelphia, but in that contest he played 27.3 minutes, put up 11 field goal attempts (including 10 3-pointers), and finished with a season-high 26.0 DraftKings points despite going only 3-of-11 from the field.

A career .374 shooter from 3-point range, that kind of workload gives Muscala far more upside than we saw from him, but the fact that he returned over 7-times value on today's salary while shooting below expectation means his floor is tremendous as well.

Yes, Jimmy Butler will be joining the Sixers' rotation now, but he doesn't play minutes at the four and five like Covington and Saric, which means he shouldn't cut into Muscala's workload too much. Even with competition for minutes, Muscala played at least 23 minutes in each of his three games (averaging 26.0 per) before his brief injury absence, and minutes are no concern tonight.
