3 NBA DraftKings Value Plays to Target on 1/31/19
With his lowest price tag since late October, Klay Thompson looks like a strong value on DraftKings tonight.

Klay Thompson, SG, Golden State Warriors

DraftKings Price: $5,800

On a team with five All-Star-caliber players, sometimes somebody has to be left out of the fantasy mix. Such has been the case with Klay Thompson in the past week. Since hitting 10-of-11 threes in a 130-11 win over the Los Angeles Lakers on January 21, Klay has found success on just 6 of his past 18 attempts from deep.

That type of shooting has caused him to fail to hit 30 or more DraftKings points in three straight contests, a steak our models think will end tonight. Klay enters tonight's game with a salary of just $5,800, which, by all measures, is absurd.

It's the lowest salary he's had since October 29. Given his per-game average of 34.1 DraftKings points, that salary means he enters tonight's contest with an implied value of nearly 5.9 DraftKings points per $1,000.

He's scored 30-plus DraftKings points in five of his past six meetings against the Philadelphia 76ers, and he'll have a very good chance of hitting that level of output again tonight in a game with a total set at 240.5 points. We project the Splash Brother to finish with 36.1 DraftKings points and return the highest value of the entire slate.
