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?

Mario Hezonja, PG/SF, Orlando Magic

DraftKings Salary: $3,800

With the Orlando Magic dealing with injuries to Evan Fournier, Aaron Gordon, Terrence Ross, and Jonathan Isaac, Mario Hezonja was all but forced into the starting lineup in their most recent game. He played 31 minutes in that role and finished with 21 DraftKings points, which is more than he needs at this price tag. Hezonja's current salary requires just 19 DraftKings points of him to reach value, which is certainly within reach again tonight.

Orlando may be without Arron Afflalo for this one as well, as he didn't participate in this morning's shootaround and is questionable. That normally wouldn't be newsworthy, but it would open up another 20-plus minutes of court time for a Magic team that is quickly running out of options. Luckily, their opponent for tonight's home game is the Los Angeles Clippers, who are equally banged up, so this game should remain somewhat competitive. While the upside isn't through the roof, Hezonja is locked into a near-30 minute role and is a terrific value at this price tag if you are looking to fit multiple studs into your lineup.
