3 NBA DraftKings Value Plays to Target on 11/16/18

DeMarre Carroll, SF/PF, Brooklyn Nets

DraftKings Price: $4,000

It's been a slow start to the season for Brooklyn Nets forward DeMarre Carroll. Dealing with an ankle injury, Carroll didn't make his season debut until November 9. His minutes have slowly been increased from 14 in his debut to 28 in his last outing on Wednesday against the Miami Heat.

Carroll hasn't yet put up a complete game, but he's facing the right opponent to do so. He scored a minimum of 29 DraftKings points in each of his three meetings against the Wizards last year, scoring 1.14 Draftkings points per minute in those contests.

It just so happens that the Wizards are giving up the most DraftKings points to opposing small forwards this season, which bodes well for a Carroll breakout game.

We project Carroll to finish with 23.9 DraftKings points this evening, which would equate to a value of just under 6.0 DraftKings points per $1,000. His ownership should be very low, so using him could make a big difference in tournaments.
