3 NBA DraftKings Value Plays to Target on 2/27/18

Jarrett Allen, PF/C, Brooklyn Nets

DraftKings Salary: $4,700

John Henson is quite underpriced on DraftKings and is likely to be a popular value play today. He stands out as the best value on DraftKings, according to our projections, and is definitely in play in cash games. If looking for a higher-upside pivot in tournaments at the exact same price point, Jarrett Allen is your man.

Allen has shown big upside for a player at this price point, going for seven-times value in 4 of his past 10 games. That type of upside is definitely accessible against a Cleveland Cavaliers squad that is ranked 28th in defensive efficiency, 25th in rebounding rate, and has allowed the 8th-most DraftKings points per game to opposing centers over the past month.

Perhaps most importantly, Cleveland has been quite soft on the interior this season. They've surrendured the league's fourth-highest field goal percentage from within five feet of the basket, which is where Allen thrives as 83.7% of Allen's made field goals have come from that range.

Allen is far too volatile to trust in cash games at this point, but the 19-year-old has the upside we look for in tournaments. You will be hard-pressed to find a player under $5,000 with a higher ceiling tonight.
