3 NBA DraftKings Value Plays to Target on 10/19/17

Jordan Clarkson, PG/SG, Los Angeles Lakers

DraftKings Salary: $4,300

Jordan Clarkson also seems a bit underpriced, considering he needs just 21.5 DraftKings points to reach five-times value at this salary. Our projections have him putting up 25.2 points, making him a top-five value on the slate, per our models.

With Kentavious Caldwell-Pope suspended for the first two games, Clarkson should see all the playing time he can handle. Also, Beverly will likely spend most of his time defending Lonzo Ball, which should leave the likes of Rivers and Lou Williams to defend Clarkson. Those two ranked 66th and 67th, respectively, among 87 qualified shooting guards in defensive real plus-minus last season.

The upside is certainly there for Clarkson, who will be looking at additional minutes in what's expected to be a quick-paced, up-and-down game. But it is worth noting that he averaged just 16.5 DraftKings points in 28.5 minutes per game over four contests against the Clippers last year, shooting 31.8% from the floor. Having a rim protector like Jordan is a limiting factor for someone like Clarkson, who is looking to penetrate often. As such, he is better left as an exciting tournament play than a cash-game option.
