3 NBA DraftKings Value Plays to Target on 3/30/18
Isaiah Taylor, PG, Atlanta Hawks
DraftKings Salary: $4,800
Dennis Schroder is listed as doubtful tonight, which places Isaiah Taylor in line to start a third straight game and his fifth of the season. As a starter, Taylor is averaging 17.8 points, 5.5 assists and 1.8 rebounds in 28.5 minutes per game. But, over the last two, he's at 23.0 points, 5.5 assists, 1.5 rebounds and 1.5 steals for an average of 35.1 DraftKings points per game.
Tonight, the Atlanta Hawks draw a Joel Embiid-less Philadelphia 76ers team, and that's a big advantage for a guy like Taylor, who scores 56.7% of his points from inside the paint, in the land of the bigs. According to NBA.com, while the Sixers allow 38.2 points in the paint per 100 possessions with Embiid, that number increases by 5.9 with him off the floor. Taylor just makes sense here.
