DraftKings Price: $3,400
Yup, another Houston Rocket makes the cut for tonight's value. Because, well, that happens when a team is missing two starters, including the reigning league MVP.
Like Melo, Gerald Green likely won't be getting the start tonight. No matter. He saw 28 minutes of run in his last outing, a number he should get close to matching -- or even exceeding with Ennis now out -- tonight against the Clippers.
Green was a different player when Harden didn't play last year. In the 31 games they were on the court together, Green averaged a mediocre 17.3 DraftKings points. In the 10 games Green played when Harden was out, that number spiked dramatically to an average of 28.3 DraftKings points.
We don't have him quite that high, but our projections of 26.1 DraftKings points still mean a return of nearly 7.7 points per $1,000, the highest projected value on the slate.
