3 NBA DraftKings Value Plays to Target on 12/20/18

Montrezl Harrell, PF/C, Los Angeles Clippers

DraftKings Price: $5,800

While his price places him closer to a mid-tier play, Montrezl Harrell's $5,800 salary still provides him a lot of room to return a big value to your lineups as the Los Angeles Clippers host the Dallas Mavericks on this two-game slate.

Harrell is having a career year, averaging 15.1 points, 6.6 boards, 1.6 assists, and 1.5 blocks. It hasn't all been so easy for him, however. After dominating the Mavs for 42.5 DraftKings points (in just 24 minutes) on December 2, Harrell went into a bit of a funk. In his following six games, he put up more than 20 DraftKings points just once, an unacceptable output for a guy whose salary was $7,600 when that slumping streak started.

He's bounced back the past two games, though, scoring at least 30 DraftKings points in each. His salary has, fortunately, risen only $200 in that span, leaving him with an excellent shot at returning more than 5.0 DraftKings points per $1,000 today.

Our models certainly agree. We have him projected for 31.4 DraftKings points, which equates to a value of 5.4 points per $1,000.
