3 NBA DraftKings Value Plays to Target on 1/25/18
Courtney Lee is in a solid position for production against the Denver Nuggets tonight. Which other low-cost NBA players are worth target in Thursday's DFS contests?

Will Barton, SG/SF, Denver Nuggets

DraftKings Salary: $5,800

At least for now, it appears the Denver Nuggets are going to experiment with Will Barton as their starting small forward, with Wilson Chandler coming off the bench. He's performed well in a starting role in the past, averaging 37 minutes and 36.7 DraftKings points.

Also, it sounds like Gary Harris could miss this game, which would further boost Barton's outlook. Only Jamal Murray ($6,700) has seen a larger boost in efficiency with Harris off the floor than Barton, who has seen his usage rise to 24.1% and his DraftKings points per minute climb to 0.97 in such instances.

Even if Harris plays, Barton is a fine tournamt target at a price tag that requires just 29 DraftKings points for him to reach value. If Harris is out, he is a high-upside salary-saving option and is worth a look in any format.
