3 NBA DraftKings Value Plays to Target on 3/26/18
With Tyreke Evans out, Andrew Harrison becomes a nice value play. Which other low-cost options can you trust?

Andrew Harrison, PG/SG, Memphis Grizzlies

DraftKings Salary: $5,200

The Memphis Grizzlies will again be without Tyreke Evans, which means Andrew Harrison should take on a sizeable load against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Harrison needs just 26 DraftKings points for 5.0 per every $1,000 in salary at this price tag, and he has exceeded the 30-fantasy-point mark in five of his past six games.

Outside of a blowout loss to the Philadelphia 76ers, a game in which the entire starting lineup sat the fourth quarter, Harrison has averaged 34.0 minutes and 37.4 DraftKings points since returning from injury. Without Evans, he should continue to see 30-plus minutes, which is enough to put him firmly in play at this price point. Harrison's clip of DraftKings points per minute rises from 0.82 to 0.91 with Evans off the court, and his usage rate goes from 21.6% to 24.2%.

With a 13.5-point spread, the risk of a blowout and benching remain there for Harrison, but outside of that, there is no reason to avoid him tonight. He has a clear path to value with Evans sidelined, and he's got a juicy matchup against a Timberwolves squad ranked 26th in defensive efficiency. He is a terrific play in tournaments, but don't pretend the downside is not there if you're targeting him in cash formats.
