3 NBA DraftKings Value Plays to Target on 2/6/18

Mario Hezonja, PG/SG, Orlando Magic

DraftKings Salary: $4,600

The Orlando Magic will once again be without Aaron Gordon, which will open up more minutes for the likes of Mario Hezonja and Marreese Speights ($4,400). Hezonja got the start last night and played 32 minutes. He put up 38.75 DraftKings points in that game, which gave him his fourth straight game with more than 25 DraftKings points. His average sits at 30.1 DraftKings points during that span, which is well above the 23 DraftKings points required of him to hit value at this price tag.

Hezonja could keep the good times rolling tonight, as the Magic host the Cleveland Cavaliers, who rank 28th in defensive efficiency. He has averaged 24.2 DraftKings points in 29 minutes in three games against Cleveland this season, including 34 DraftKings points in his only start against the Cavs. He certainly has that type of upside in this matchup and is an awesome tournament option. If we get word that he is starting again, Hezonja is a fine cash-game play, as well.
