3 NBA DraftKings Value Plays to Target on 12/26/18
Coming off a dud in his last game, Montrezl Harrell should bounce back against the Kings on Wednesday.

Jalen Brunson, PG, Dallas Mavericks

DraftKings Price: $3,600

Dallas Mavericks point guard Dennis Smith has already been ruled out for tonight's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. As such, rookie Jalen Brunson will almost certainly get another start.

Brunson has started each of the past eight games that Smith has missed. While his performances have been up-and-down, tonight's matchup should lead to plenty of opportunity for him to return a solid value at a price of just $3,600.

Tonight's game at American Airlines Center has a total set at 228 points, second-most on the slate. The two teams have met once before this season, and while Brunson didn't start that game, he did see 25 minutes of run and finish with 11 points, 2 rebounds, 7 assists, and 2 steals en route to 28.5 DraftKings points.

Our models project Brunson to finish with 23.2 DraftKings points tonight. That equates to a value of just under 6.5 DraftKings points per $1,000, which makes Brunson our highest projected value play of the slate.
