3 NBA DraftKings Value Plays to Target on 12/26/18

Montrezl Harrell, PF/C, Los Angeles Clippers

DraftKings Price: $5,700

After busting out of his slump and producing 30-plus DraftKings points four games in a row, Los Angeles Clippers big Montrezl Harrell fell back down to earth with just 18.75 DraftKings points in his last matchup against the Golden State Warriors. Tonight's matchup should help him to rebound.

The Clippers host the Sacramento Kings in a game with a total set at 238 points, the highest on the slate. Harrell has seen the Kings once before this season, finishing with 24 points, 6 boards, and 35 DraftKings points. It shouldn't matter whether he plays at the four or five tonight as the Kings struggle to defend both positions. Over their past seven games, the Kings are giving up the fifth-most and sixth-most DraftKings points to centers and power forwards, respectively.

Our models project Harrell to finish with 34.2 DraftKings points tonight. At his $5,700 salary, that would equate to a value of roughly 6.1 points per $1,000, the third-highest projected value on the slate.
