3 NBA DraftKings Value Plays to Target on 3/28/19

P.J. Tucker, SF/PF, Houston Rockets

Price: $3,800

Many will look to Denver's Gary Harris for value in this same game, but P.J. Tucker is $400 cheaper, and his workload is in permanent ink. The 33-year-old veteran is fourth in the NBA in minutes played (2,610), having played an average of 34.8 a game. He doesn't wow you with big-time per-minute numbers, but the volume is all your targeting here.

To this point, Tucker has played 30-plus minutes in 64 of 75 games. He's been on the floor for at least 35 in 40, and in those he's hit 19 DraftKings points (value at 5.0 points per $1,000) in all but 12, putting his hit rate at 70% when getting 35 minutes.

The do-it-all forward enters today having logged 35-plus in 5 of 10 games with no less than 31 in three others. The Nuggets are strong defensively, but the Houston Rockets still draw a 111.0 total on their home floor.

Our models expect Tucker to play 34.6 minutes and tally 21.8 DraftKings points at his sub-$4K salary.
