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

Tyus Jones, PG, Minnesota Timberwolves

DraftKings Price: $5,200

Minnesota Timberwolves point guard Tyus Jones may not be an uber-cheap DraftKings play this evening, but he's certainly still one of the best chances to get a solid return on your investment.

The Wolves will be without Jeff Teague and will likely also be sans Derrick Rose, who is doubtful for this evening's game with a sore elbow. That leaves Jones will all the run he can handle, and he's in a nice spot as the T-Wolves take on the Golden State Warriors.

The Warriors played last night, which is important to note as their games are much closer -- and more high scoring -- when they have no rest. In 59 games with at least one day of rest, the Warriors are giving up 111.3 points per game and outscoring opponents by 6.4 points. In nine games with no rest, they are giving up 116.6 points per game and outscoring opponents by just 2.3 points.

It's not like the 'Wolves play at a slow pace, either. They're giving up 125.8 points per game to teams not named the Knicks since the All-Star break. Needless to say, there will be running, and with it comes a ton of fantasy potential for Jones.

Jones has played eight games this year without Teague and Rose. He's averaged 26.9 DraftKings points in those games, a number that was dragged down significantly by Sunday's 12.5-DraftKings-point outing against the Houston Rockets. We currently have Jones projected for 27.0 DraftKings points tonight.
