3 NBA DraftKings Value Plays to Target on 3/6/18

Caris LeVert, PG/SF, Brooklyn Nets

DraftKings Salary: $4,500

The Brooklyn Nets have slowly been beginning to give Caris LeVert and Rondae Hollis-Jefferson ($5,700) the minutes they were seeing prior to their injuries, although their prices have yet to catch up. LeVert is the more appealing of the two, as he comes at a significant discount and won't have to deal with Draymond Green's defense, but both are intriguing tournament options.

This matchup between the Nets and Golden State Warriors has the second-highest over/under on the slate (230 points), but the Warriors are 15-point home favorites. While that makes some of the starters in this game scary, LeVert shouldn't see his minutes affected much one way or another by a blowout. He saw his minutes rise to 29 his last time out, which resulted in a 48.25-DraftKings-point explosion. You shouldn't expect that type of production again tonight, but it is a reminder of the type of upside LeVert has.

On the year, LeVert has produced at a solid rate of 0.97 DraftKings points per minute, which is high enough to make him intriguing at this price. He could certainly push for 25-plus minutes, and the uptempo nature of this game could raise his efficiency even further. At a price tag that requires just 22.5 DraftKings points of him, LeVert is an interesting tournament target.
