There are ten NBA games on the main Friday January 5th, 2018 NBA slate at Draft Kings. This is going to be a difficult slate to navigate as there are several ways to build a successful lineup.
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.
A value play for me is someone under $5000 dollars and has a good opportunity to exceed at least six times value and hopefully reach ten times value.
Fridays slate begins at 7:00 pm so be sure to the best of your ability that the players on your roster are actually playing.
I have three such players in great spots Friday that I would like you to consider.
Portland Trail Blazers SG/SF Evan Turner ($4400) has a great opportunity Friday night against an Atlanta Hawks defense allowing shooting guards to average 74.3 Draft Kings points per game over their past five games. Turner has exceeded six times value in three of his past five games and has a great opportunity to do so again on Friday against the Hawks.
Utah Jazz SG/SF Thabo Sefolosha ($3900) has exceeded six times value in three of his past five games and has a great opportunity to do so again against a Denver Nuggets defense allowing small forwards to average 76.9 Draft Kings points per game over their past five games.
Charlotte Hornets PF/C Frank Kaminsky ($4600) has exceeded six times value in three of his past five games and has a good opportunity on Friday night against a Los Angeles Lakers defense allowing power forwards to average 67 Draft Kings points per game over their past five games. Kaminsky is a GPP only type of play and should be avoided in cash games.
Good luck on Draft Kings Friday!!
