3 NBA DraftKings Value Plays to Target on 12/13/17
The Celtics, Magic and Pelicans are all dealing with tons of injuries. So which players stand to benefit the most tonight for DFS purposes?

Darius Miller, SF, New Orleans Pelicans

DraftKings Salary: $3,700

Darius Miller also has been forced to play big minutes as of late, with the New Orleans Pelicans dealing with a littany of injuries. This situation is a little more murky leading up to lineup lock, as we don't yet know the status of Anthony Davis, Dante Cunningham, or Jameer Nelson, and the game tips off an hour after lock.

Miller put up 22.75 DraftKings points in 39 minutes of action on Monday for the short-handed Pels, and could be looking at a similar role tonight. He has shown the ability to get hot from beyond the arc, and could definitely do so tonight against a Milwaukee Bucks team that is allowing the highest three-point percentage to their opponents in the NBA. He needs just 18.5 DraftKings points at this price tag to hit value, and is a near must-play if we get news that Davis and one of Cunningham or Nelson are out prior to lock. If we don't have word on any of those players yet, Miller is more of a tournament-only play.
