3 NBA DraftKings Value Plays to Target on 4/3/18

De'Aaron Fox, PG, Sacramento Kings

DraftKings Salary: $5,000

While there are a number of injury situations to monitor for potential value plays, De'Aaron Fox is simply cheap and in a terrific spot against the Phoenix Suns. After a cold streak, Fox has put his upside on display in his two most-recent games, averaging 32.3 DraftKings points. He needs just 25 DraftKings points at this price tag, which he could easily exceed in an uptempo matchup against Phoenix.

The Suns have been bad against point guards all year, but with the 5'9" Tyler Ulis now starting and playing 35-plus minutes a game, they are even more susceptible. The past five point guards -- Quinn Cook, James Harden, Austin Rivers, Terry Rozier, and D.J. Augustin -- to face Phoenix have averaged 42 DraftKings points, so the potential is certainly there for Fox to post a big game.

The Sacramento Kings don't get out and run much, but when they do find themselves in uptempo games, it has been Fox and Buddy Hield ($6,400) who have been the biggest beneficiaries. Fox leads the team in transition scoring, while Hield joins him as the only other dude with over 200 transition points. After those two, Bogdan Bogdanovic is the next-highest transition scorer, with just 105 points. Expect the speedy Fox to thrive in this quick-paced game. He makes for an exciting tournament option at this bargain-bin price tag.
