There are 11 NBA games on the main Friday, February 23, 2018 slate at Draft Kings. I enjoy playing these larger slates and I especially like to search for the right value plays to go along with high-priced studs I’m targeting like Anthony Davis and James Harden.
The contests begin at 7 p.m. Friday, so be sure to check and see if the players you selected are actually playing tonight.
The standard lineup at Draft Kings consists of one point guard, one shooting guard, one small forward, one power forward, one center, one guard, one forward and one utility player.
With all the high-priced options tonight, we are going to need to find some solid value plays. That means players priced at $5000 or less that have the upside to return anywhere from six times value or more.
I have three such players under $5000 that I am considering for the Friday night slate.
Memphis Grizzlies PG/SG Andrew Harrison ($4300) has exceeded seven times or more value in three of his past five games and he has a great opportunity on Friday against a Cleveland Cavaliers defense allowing point guards to average 58.4 Draft Kings points per game over the past five games.
Washington Wizards SG/SF Kelly Oubre ($4500) has exceeded six times value in two of his last five ballgames and he has a good opportunity Friday night against a Charlotte Hornets defense allowing shooting guards to average 97.1 Draft Kings points per game over their past five games.
Charlotte Hornets SF/PF Michael Kidd-Gilchrist ($4000) hasn’t exceeded six times value even once in his past five games but this season he is averaging 31 Draft Kings points per game against the Wizards this season. The Wizards defense allows small forwards to average 94.6 Draft Kings points per game over their past five games.
Good luck at Draft Kings Friday!!
