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

Alex Len, C, Atlanta Hawks

DraftKings Price: $5,100

Another player who should strongly benefit tonight from the Hawks' injuries and load management is center Alex Len. Already in the starting lineup due to Dedmon's season-ending injury, Len could easily see minutes in the low 30's this evening without Collins at the four.

Starting hasn't always ensured a strong performance for Len. He averaged just 23.2 and 20.2 DraftKings points per game when starting games in October and November. Those numbers rocketed 33.0 and 28.2 in February and March, however.

The San Antonio Spurs aren't an easy matchup by any means, but Len has managed to average 1.16 DraftKings points per minute against them over the past couple of years. We have him taking advantage of the (likely) extra minutes tonight, projecting him to finish with 30.6 DraftKings points, a return a hair over 6.0 points per $1,000.
