3 NBA DraftKings Value Plays to Target on 1/25/18
Courtney Lee, SG/SF, New York Knicks
DraftKings Salary: $4,800
Courtney Lee's price seems to have dropped, almost by default due to the return of Tim Hardaway Jr., even though his level of play has remained high. Lee is still averaging 33.6 minutes and 23.5 DraftKings points in seven games with Hardaway back, numbers that have risen to 35.8 and 26.9 over his past four games.
He needs just 24 DraftKings points at this salary, which is definitely within reach. The New York Knicks face a Nuggets squad that could be without their best perimeter defender in Gary Harris and has replaced a capable defender in Wilson Chandler with Will Barton at the three, who is one of their worst defenders.
The matchup still isn't ideal, but on a four-game slate that is riddled with blowout risk, you can feel pretty safe targeting Lee in what is expected to be one of the most competitive games. He is worth a look in any format if trying to save money at a somewhat gross shooting guard position today.
