3 NBA DraftKings Value Plays to Target on 11/29/17

Michael Carter-Williams, PG, Charlotte Hornets

DraftKings Salary: $4,200

Unlike McConnell, we already have confirmation that Michael Carter-Williams will be the fill-in starter at point guard tonight for the Charlotte Hornets. There are real concerns about how a starting unit that will feature Carter-Williams, Michael Kidd-Gilchrist, and Dwight Howard will be able to space the floor and have much success offensively against a strong Toronto Raptors defense. Charlotte is currently listed as 8-point road underdogs, and this one could turn into a blowout.

With that noted, Carter-Williams has the ability to pile up stats in a hurry, and he already has one game of 30-plus DraftKings points (in just 20 minutes off the bench) to his name this season. He needs just 21 DraftKings points at this price and has the upside to blow that number out of the water. Depending on the injury news, he may not be a necessary risk in cash games. He is someone that you have to get at least some exposure to in tournaments, though.
