3 NBA DraftKings Value Plays to Target on 4/1/19

Luke Kornet, PF/C, New York Knicks

DraftKings Price: $4,100

The Knicks' Luke Kornet has been a hard player to judge this season. The second-year big out of Vanderbilt has started 14 games, but knowing what kind of output to expect has been like flipping a coin.

It's not his fault, though. When given consistent minutes, Kornet has been straight fire. In the seven games in which he's seen at least 25 minutes of run, he's scored more than 25.0 DraftKings points six times. When given at least 30 minutes of run (which has happened four times), he's scored a minimum of 26.25 DraftKings points.

Of course, Kornet is at the behest of Knicks coach David Fizdale, who has excelled in being unpredictable in allotting playing time. In Kornet's past five starts, he's received 17, 31, 11, 26, and 36 minutes. He's given Kornet fewer than 20 minutes three other times. Think it's because of foul trouble? Think again. Kornet has had a maximum of three fouls in his starts.

Simply put, you're playing with fire here. If you want a player who can return 10 DraftKings points per $1,000, Kornet's your guy. Of course, he could just as easily score 10 total DraftKings points. Which player will Fizdale allow him to be tonight? You probably didn't need me to tell you this, but make sure to use Kornet in only tournaments this evening.
