3 NBA DraftKings Value Plays to Target on 12/27/18

Lance Stephenson, SG/SF, Los Angeles Lakers

DraftKings Price: $4,200

All Lance Stephenson needs is minutes, though those are hard to often predict for the nine-year vet. But it looks like almost a certainty that he'll get all the run he'll need tonight in order to produce value for you on DraftKings and other daily fantasy websites.

LeBron James is out tonight. Rajon Rondo is out as well. That opens up about 55 minutes to be distributed amongst the rest of the Lakers crew tonight, and it's a very good bet that some of those will go Stephenson's way -- at least enough for him to see 20-25 minutes of run.

Stephenson doesn't see 20-plus minutes often, but he almost always produces when he does. He's seen that type of playing time thrice in December and scored a minimum of 25.25 DraftKings points on each occasion. In fact, he's scored no fewer than 20.0 DraftKings points when receiving at least 20 minutes this year.

We project him for 0.94 DraftKings points per minute tonight. In order to hit a value of 5.0 DraftKings points per $1,000, Lance will need to see the court for about 22 minutes, which is very plausible under the injury circumstances.
