3 NBA DraftKings Value Plays to Target on 11/27/18
Mikal Bridges, SF, Phoenix Suns
Price: $3,600
After playing fewer than 20 minutes in 7 of his first 12 NBA games, Mikal Bridges has seen his role expand significantly in Phoenix.
He hasn't played fewer than 23 minutes in any of his last 7 games, averaging 27.4 per. He has started five of those seven games (including each of his last two) and is averaging 27.5 per game as a starter.
He's averaging 19.3 DraftKings points per game over those last seven, and while that's not a huge mark by any stretch, it's still better than 5.0 points per $1,000 on today's salary.
In an ideal world, he'd have a better matchup tonight than the Indiana Pacers, who rank top-five in defensive rating while playing at a bottom-five pace, but this is a five-game slate without a ton of value. Simply getting minutes in the high-20s to low-30s at this price point makes Bridges a strong value option.
