3 NBA DraftKings Value Plays to Target on 1/29/18
Jarell Martin, PF/C, Memphis Grizzlies
DraftKings Salary: $4,800
It shouldn't come as much of a surprise, but the Memphis Grizzlies are again very banged-up heading into this game. They will be without JaMychal Green, Chandler Parsons, and James Ennis, while Tyreke Evans and Deyonta Davis are questionable and Ben McLemore is listed as probable.
There could be lots of value opened up depending on what we hear regarding the status of Evans and Davis, but given what we know right now, Jarell Martin stands out as the best value on the team. Martin topped 30 minutes in two of his previous three games, and it would have been all three if he could have stayed out of foul trouble. He's averaging 24.5 DraftKings points during that span, which is right in line with what he needs to hit value -- 5 points per every $1,000 in salary -- at this price.
In what should be an up-tempo matchup against the Phoenix Suns, the short-handed Grizzlies are expected to outscore their season average by seven points. Martin should have no problem being a productive fantasy asset, and he is too cheap for his current role, making him an intriguing target in any format.
