3 NBA DraftKings Value Plays to Target on 1/30/19
Wayne Ellington could be in for elevated minutes Wednesday against the Bulls. Who else is worth paying down for tonight?

Mario Hezonja, SF/PF, New York Knicks

DraftKings Price: $3,500

While one can never really know what's going on inside New York Knicks head coach David Fizdale's head, it seems -- for the time being -- that he's keen on giving a decent amount of playing time to Mario Hezonja.

Hezonja has seen 26-plus minutes in each of his past two games and 20-plus minutes in seven of his past eight. Given he's playing for a coach that hands out DNP-CDs on a whim, that's a pretty consistent level of run. Outside of a 8.5-DraftKings-point dud, Hezonja has turned that solid playing time into decent fantasy output, not that his salary reflects that.

Hezonja enters tonight's contest with a $3,500 salary. Yes, he had two duds in a row on January 17 and 21, but he bounced back with 26.25 and 19.5 DraftKings points, meaning he's now returned over 5.0 DraftKings points per $1,000 in seven of his past nine contests, topping 7.0 DraftKings points per $1,000 in four of those.

We have Hezonja doing enough tonight to score 21.1 DraftKings points. That equates to a value of just over 6.0 DraftKings points per $1,000, making him the highest-projected value on the entire slate.
