3 NBA DraftKings Value Plays to Target on 3/15/18

Noah Vonleh, PF/C, Chicago Bulls

DraftKings Salary: $3,800

With Lauri Markkanen out, Noah Vonleh started the most recent game for the Chicago Bulls. He played 27 minutes and put up 21.25 DraftKings points in that game, which may not seem like much, but it easily exceeds the 19 DraftKings points needed of him at this price tag.

Markkanen is set to miss tonight's game too, so we could see another start for Vonleh. The matchup against a slow-paced Memphis Grizzlies team isn't ideal, but Memphis is playing big with several guards banged up, so Vonleh's minutes should be secure as Chicago tries to match up with some of Memphis' bizarre three-big lineups featuring Jarell Martin or JaMychal Green at the three.

Our projections expect plenty of playing time for Vonleh, projecting him for 26 minutes and 24.1 DraftKings points. That type of production would make him the strongest value on the slate and one of just three expected to top six-times value. Vonleh's 0.87 DraftKings points per minute rate this year makes him an exciting play with 25-plus minutes potentially at his disposal. As long as he is starting, Vonleh is worth a look as a punt play in any format.
