3 NBA DraftKings Value Plays to Target on 1/7/19

Gary Harris, SG, Denver Nuggets

DraftKings Price: $5,000

It took a couple of games for Gary Harris to get back up to speed, but he seems to have shaken off any rust that came by missing nearly a month of action. After scoring a combined 29.25 DraftKings points in his first two games back, Harris netted 17 points, grabbed 6 boards, and dished out 5 dimes en route to 35.5 DraftKings points in a win over the Charlotte Hornets on Saturday night.

The Denver Nuggets' shooting guard's per-36 scoring output is nearly identical to his numbers from last year, but he's struggled with his shooting. He's hitting just 43.4% from the field and 33.1% from deep, both of which are steep drops from last year and the worst numbers since his rookie season. Hopefully Saturday's performance was a sign of a turnaround.

Harris -- who came off the bench -- didn't all of a sudden turn into Stephen Curry, but when he was on the court versus Charlotte, the Nuggets thrived. Denver was +23 when Harris was on the floor. It looks like Harris could find his way back into the starting lineup tonight, according to coach Michael Malone.

We project Harris to play 32.7 minutes and score 29.2 DraftKings points this evening, which would equate to a value of nearly 5.9 points per $1,000.
