3 NBA DraftKings Value Plays to Target on 1/4/19

Moe Harkless, SF/PF, Portland Trail Blazers

DraftKings Price: $4,200

After battling injuries for most of the season, Portland Trail Blazers forward Maurice Harkless is finally starting to see consistently strong minutes. While he's still being held out on the second night of back-to-back games, he's been good to go otherwise and has seen a minimum of 31 minutes of run in each of the past three games.

In those games, he's put up averages of 9.7 points, 8.7 boards, 2.3 steals, 2.0 blocks, and 29.7 DraftKings points. He'll look to continue that recent success as the Blazers host the Oklahoma City Thunder at the Rose Garden (er, Moda Center) tonight.

Harkless torched the Thunder for 38.5 DraftKings points the last time he played against them in March of last year. In the six games he's received at least 25 minutes against them in a Blazers uniform, he has averaged 27.8 DraftKings points.

We have him projected for 24.0 DraftKings points tonight, which would equate to a value of 5.7 points per $1,000.
