There are five NBA games on the main Thursday night November 9 slate at Draft Kings. I really like these mid-size slates as there are plenty of ways to build your lineup and still differentiate yourself from the field.
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. For me that means players priced at $5,000 dollars or less that have the upside to return anywhere from six times value or more.
I have three such players in great spots Thursday that I would like you to consider.
Oklahoma City Thunder SF/PF Jerami Grant ($3,400) has a great opportunity Thursday against a Denver Nuggets defense allowing the PF position to average 90.7 Draft Kings points per game over their past five games. Grant has exceeded six times value in four of his past five games with a floor of 15.5 and ceiling of 28 Draft Kings points during that five game stretch.
Sacramento Kings SG/SF Buddy Hield ($4600) has a solid opportunity Thursday night against a Philadelphia 76ers defense allowing the SG position to average 103.2 Draft Kings points per game over their past five games. Hield has exceeded six times value in three of his past five games with a floor of 7.5 points and a ceiling of 35.75 Draft Kings points during that same five game stretch..
Cleveland Cavaliers SG/SF J.R. Smith ($3700) has a great opportunity Thursday against a Houston Rockets defense allowing the SG position to average 75.00 Draft Kings points per game over their past five games. Smith has exceeded six times value in three of his past five games with a 6.5 point Draft Kings floor and 25.25 ceiling during that same five game stretch.
Good luck on Draft Kings Thursday!!
