3 NBA DraftKings Value Plays to Target on 4/10/19

Gorgui Dieng, PF/C, Minnesota Timberwolves

DraftKings Price: $4,100

Last night was about as fun as it gets for value seekers in NBA DFS. Jamal Crawford became the oldest player to ever score 50 points in a game and scored an insane 70.25 DraftKings points for only $4,300. Dirk Nowitzki went out with a bang in his last home contest, scoring 30 with 48.0 DraftKings points at a cost of just $3,800. There are too many examples to list all of the incredible value last night, but one that does need to be highlighted is Gorgui Dieng.

The Minnesota Timberwolves big man got a spot start for Karl-Anthony Towns and would be in line again to start this evening if Towns sits once more. Dieng put up 16 points, 7 boards, and 5 assists en route to a very solid 35.75-DraftKings-point effort, his second effort of 30-plus DraftKings points in his past three games.

Dieng has been a solid fantasy play when starting since his rookie year when he put up 12.2 points and 12.0 boards per game in 15 starts. Last night was his first start since the 2016-17 season, a year he started al 82 games. He'll be itching to go again tonight if he gets the call, and the Wolves will need him to battle against Nikola Jokic.

We don't have him projected for much, nor should we given that we don't know yet if Towns is sitting. Keep a browser tab set to numberFire's NBA Player News today to follow Towns' status. If he's out, put Dieng into your lineups.
