3 NBA DraftKings Value Plays to Target on 4/6/18
Already absent Kyrie Irving, the Celtics will need guys to step up with a pair of starters resting tonight. Who should we target there and elsewhere on DraftKings?

The Memphis Grizzlies

Our top four projected point-per-dollar values on this slate are members of the Memphis Grizzlies, which shouldn't come as too much of a surprise, given their depleted depth chart. They will be without Marc Gasol, Tyreke Evans, JaMychal Green, Jarell Martin, Andrew Harrison, and Wayne Selden Jr., which opens up huge minutes for their reserves in a great spot against the Sacramento Kings.

The obvious target of the bunch is MarShon Brooks ($5,200), who has been on a tear in his first three games with the Grizz, averaging 36.5 DraftKings points in just 25.1 minutes per game. He has a 29.7% usage rate during that span and he's seen his minutes increase to 36 in his most recent game. He could push for 35-plus again tonight, which is more than enough for him to crush value at this price tag.

Our projections are in love with the Memphis bigs with Gasol sidelined, as Deyonta Davis ($3,300) and Ivan Rabb ($4,000) stand out as the top two projected values. They're really the only two healthy bigs with any sort of experience, and both should push for 25-plus minutes tonight. Both Rabb (0.92) and Davis (0.89) have strong DraftKings-point-per-minute marks, so with additional minutes at their disposal, they should easily hit value at their near-minimum price tags.
