3 NBA DraftKings Value Plays to Target on 1/22/19

TJ Warren, SF/PF, Phoenix Suns

DraftKings Price: $5,700

While $5,700 might seem rather steep for a traditional value play, if a player can return a high number of points per dollar, the actual salary becomes something of an aside. This is especially true when a player has shown consistency against an opponent, as is the case with T.J. Warren against the Minnesota Timberwolves.

Warren has faced the Wolves six times since last season. He's scored no fewer than 25.0 DraftKings points in that span and has scored at least 31.0 in each of the Phoenix Suns' two meetings against them this year, the most recent of which came on Sunday.

The fifth-year player out of North Carolina State is averaging a smidgen fewer points per game this season (18.3 vs 19.6 last year), but the way he's done it has been arguably more impressive. Warren has expanded his game to become a true threat from beyond the arc. After jacking up no more than 1.5 shots per game in any previous season, Warren is shooting 4.3 treys per game and hitting a career-high 42.2% of them while also hitting a personal best 81.5% from the line.

We have Warren projected for 30.6 DraftKings points tonight, which would equate to a value of nearly 5.4 points per $1,000.
