3 NBA DraftKings Value Plays to Target on 11/13/17
Starting to get his shot back after a slow start, J.R. Smith gets to face off against his old squad in the New York Knicks. Which other NBA players are worthy DFS value plays?

Luke Babbitt, SF/PF, Atlanta Hawks

DraftKings Salary: $3,800

Ersan Ilyasova is out again and Mike Muscala has been ruled doubtful, meaning we will likely see another start for Luke Babbitt tonight. He's averaged 31.5 minutes and 23.3 DraftKings points in his four starts, which is plenty at this price tag. He needs just 19 DraftKings points to reach five-times his salary implied value, which he has accomplished in three of four starts.

The Atlanta Hawks could elect to go with a more physical John Collins ($4,700) at the four, more in an attempt to contend with Anthony Davis and DeMarcus Cousins, but they have been very reluctant to play the rookie at anything other than backup center. The more likely scenario is that we again see near 30 minutes of playing time for Babbitt, who is not shy in looking for his shot, especially from beyond the arc. The matchup is far from ideal, but Babbitt's price makes him tough to fade on a slate with little obvious value.
