3 NBA DraftKings Value Plays to Target on 10/27/17

Kent Bazemore, SG/SF, Atlanta Hawks

DraftKings Salary: $5,400

DraftKings has been fairly aggressive in pricing up the Atlanta Hawks players, outside of Kent Bazemore and Mike Muscala ($3,300), whose prices do not match their recent production. Muscala is coming off of a 38.5 DraftKings point performance, which was more than 10-times his salary implied value. If Ersan Ilyasova sits again, he'd be a terrific punt play, because Atlanta refuses to play John Collins as anything other than their backup center for reason known only to them.

Bazemore's value, on the other hand, is directly tied to the status of Dennis Schroder. Early in the week, the plan was reportedly for Schroder to return to this game, but he is still listed as questionable. If he sits, Bazemore would again be a plug-and-play at this price. His usage actually rose again, from 33.9% in the first game without Schroder, to 35.1% last night. (For context, DeMarcus Cousins is the only player with a usage rate above 35%.) Bazemore has averaged 34.4 DraftKings points in his two games as the top dog in the offense, which would easily eclipse value (27 DraftKings points) at this price.
