3 NBA DraftKings Value Plays to Target on 11/7/18

Taj Gibson, PF, Minnesota Timberwolves

DraftKings Price: $4,500

Who knows if Jimmy Butler will decide to suit up against the Los Angeles Lakers tonight? We only know what we know, and what we know is that Minnesota Timberwolves power forward Taj Gibson has consistently performed against the Lakers when given the chance.

In five games against the Lakers while a member of the Wolves, Gibson is averaging 18.2 points, 7.6 rebounds, 1.6 blocks, and 0.98 DraftKings points per minute. While he may not hit the 32 minutes he saw in the Wolves' last game against the Los Angeles Clippers, he's a solid bet to see at least 23-25 every given night.

He's averaging 24.8 DraftKings points per game, yet his price stands at just $4,500 this evening. That implied value of 5.5 DraftKings points per $1,000 is the ninth-highest average value on the slate and second-highest average among those eligible at power forward.

We project him to surpass that tonight with 27.6 DraftKings points, or 6.1 points per $1,000.
