3 NBA DraftKings Value Plays to Target on 2/6/19

Jakob Poeltl/Pau Gasol, C, San Antonio Spurs

DraftKings Price: $3,200/$3,200

While Belinelli and Davis Bertans stand to benefit from DeRozan's absence, a pair of other Spurs stand to benefit most from Aldridge missing his first game of the season. The only question is, which one will it be?

Both Jakob Poeltl and Pau Gasol have a chance to be fantasy saviors this evening, though you'll have to keep an eye out all day to see which of the two enters the starting five (hint, keep checking our Player News section regularly). Both players have started six games this season, but those didn't amount to anything. Poeltl played just 15.8 minutes in his starts, while Gasol played just 13.8 in his.

Of course, Aldridge played in all of those games. His resting means that an additional 32.6 minutes of run can be divvied up. Gasol is the better player on a per-minute basis, averaging 1.17 DraftKings points per minute compared to Poeltl's 0.97. Gasol has seen at least 20 minutes of run just four times this season. In those games, he's scored a minimum of 22.75 DraftKings points and topped 30 DraftKings points twice.

The good thing is, both Gasol and Poeltl are $3,200. That makes a switch very easy tonight, thanks to the return of late swap.
