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

David Nwaba, SG/SF, Chicago Bulls

DraftKings Salary: $4,700

The Chicago Bulls will again be quite short-handed tonight, as Zach LaVine, Kris Dunn, Antonio Blakeney, and Paul Zipser are all out. Lauri Markkanen and Denzel Valentine are also game-time decisions, with Valentine trending more towards doubtful, per reports.

If Valentine were to sit, that would all but guarantee 30-plus minutes for David Nwaba, whose mark of 0.78 DraftKings points per minute makes him (sadly) one of the most efficient fantasy producers remaining for Chicago. He needs 23.5 DraftKings points to hit value (5 points per every $1,000 in salary) at this price, a clip which he could hit in 30 minutes at his rate of 0.78 DraftKings point per minute. His per-minute mark climbs to 0.87 DraftKings points with Dunn, LaVine, and Valentine off the floor, so there is some upside here.

Keep an eye on the injury news as there could be several value plays available for Chicago depending on how things shake out with Valentine and Markkanen. Nwaba stands out as the safest option of the bunch and is in play in both cash games and tournaments if Valentine sits.
