3 NBA DraftKings Value Plays to Target on 2/4/19

Tim Frazier, PG, New Orleans Pelicans

DraftKings Price: $3,900

Let's complete the NOP value trifecta. Tim Frazier is rarely an exciting fantasy player to use, but when given minutes, he's generally able to do enough on the court to return a solid number of DraftKings points per dollar.

While the Pelicans are going with youth and starting Frank Jackson at point guard, Frazier's playing time is still almost certain to see at least 20-25 minutes (he saw 27 in his last game) with both Elfrid Payton and E'Twaun Moore on the sidelines.

Frazier's fantasy value over the past few games has been strongly tied with his ability to distribute the ball. He has 26 assists over his past three games, a stretch in which he is averaging 7.7 point, 5.3 boards, 8.7 assists, 1.0 steals, and 29.3 points in an average of 22.8 minutes.

His salary is sub $4,000. He's going to get strong playing time. The Pelicans have few other players who can distribute the ball like he can. Simply put, he's a solid value play, and there is no reason you couldn't consider rostering him, Jackson, and Williams on the same roster tonight.
