3 NBA DraftKings Value Plays to Target on 2/15/18
After getting ejected last night, Isaiah Thomas should bounce back in a nice matchup tonight. Which other players are values on DraftKings tonight?

Tyler Zeller, C, Milwaukee Bucks

DraftKings Salary: $3,900

The only team with any real injury situation to speak of tonight is the Milwaukee Bucks, who are without Malcolm Brogdon, Matthew Dellavedova, and John Henson. The latter is the important absence for the newly-acquired Tyler Zeller, who has seen his minutes rise in each of his four games for Milwaukee. His most recent game was a 27.5 DraftKings-point performance in 23 minutes against the Atlanta Hawks, which brings his per-minute average to 0.90 DraftKings points.

While Thon Maker ($4,100) is the starter and has significantly more raw talent, he has averaged just 0.72 DraftKings points per minute on the year. He's averaged just three more minutes per game than Zeller over the past two games, who has collected eight boards in each and appears to be pushing for more minutes. If you're looking for a punt play to try to fit in some of the top-priced studs on tonight's slate, Zeller is about as good as it gets.
