3 NBA DraftKings Value Plays to Target on 1/29/19

Shabazz Napier, PG/SG, Brooklyn Nets

DraftKings Price: $4,900

Wasn't Shabazz Napier a nice value option yesterday? You betcha. And he might be a daily installation as long as his price remains low and Spencer Dinwiddie stays on the sidelines.

After averaging just 12.5 minutes per game in the four games before Dinwiddie went down with a thumb injury, Napier has averaged 27.0 minutes in his past two outings as the main cog off the Nets' bench. Though he's shot an abysmal 9-for-29 from the field (vomit with me at the 31.0% mark), his volume has allowed him to score 19.0 real-world points and 29.5 DraftKings points per game.

Tonight he has a chance to continue that success against an 11-39 Bulls team in a game with a total set at 218.5 points. Napier received 27 minutes of run in his last game against the Bulls (back on January 6th), finishing with 18 points, 3 boards, 3 assists, and 29.75 DraftKings points in a 117-100 Nets win.

We project Napier to score 1.01 DraftKings points per minute. Given that he should get at least 25 or so minutes, he should have a solid floor at his $4,900 salary.
