3 NBA DraftKings Value Plays to Target on 1/24/19

Darius Miller, SF/PF, New Orleans Pelicans

DraftKings Price: $3,300

If you're looking for a bit riskier option on the same team, consider using Darius Miller. Miller has been receiving relatively consistent minutes of late, but he has a chance to see a decent bump tonight for a couple of reasons.

The first is the aforementioned possible absence of Nikola Mirotic, who injured himself in last night's loss to the Detroit Pistons. The second reason is because head coach Alvin Gentry is considering resting E'Twaun Moore tonight.

If he does, then Miller could easily be in for 35-plus minutes tonight in a game that will be oozing with fantasy potential. With a total set at 233.0 points, the game is projected to be the second-highest scoring game of the night.

Miller is only averaging 0.58 DraftKings points per minute this season, but he's been noticeably more efficient against the Thunder, averaging 0.82 DraftKings points per minute in his two games against them. Given his likely minutes boost tonight, that bodes well for his potential value. We project him for 18.7 DraftKings points, which equates to a value of nearly 5.7 points per $1,000.
