3 NBA DraftKings Value Plays to Target on 3/11/19

Jarrett Allen, C, Brooklyn Nets

DraftKings Price: $4,800

If you're looking for a slightly more expensive value play than either of the Cavs, then consider using Brooklyn Nets center Jarrett Allen this evening.

At 35-33, the Nets are in strong playoff position, up 4.0 games on the ninth place Orlando Magic with just 14 games to play. They'll still need to finish strong, however, and they'll be tested tonight when the sixth place Detroit Pistons travel to play them in New York tonight.

The teams have split their two previous meetings this season, each winning their home contest. One constant in both games has been the play of Allen, who has scored at least 25.75 DraftKings points in each contest. Allen has actually scored that many or more in four straight contests against the Pistons, including efforts of 39.0 and 46.5 DraftKings points.

We project him to finish with a solid 29.2 DraftKings points tonight, which would be enough to return a value of 6.1 points per $1,000.
