3 NBA DraftKings Value Plays to Target on 4/5/19

Ante Zizic, C, Cleveland Cavaliers

DraftKings Price: $3,600

The last few games of the season mean that young players have a chance to see an uptick in minutes, especially on teams with poor records. One player who has a chance to shine in that type of situation tonight is Cleveland Cavaliers center Ante Zizic.

Zizic started for Tristan Thompson on Thursday and came through in a big way for 33.5 DraftKings points. I can't look into the heads of the Cavs' front office, but it makes little sense to play Thompson in the remaining games. What could they possibly have to gain?

The Cavs are ensured at least the third-worst record in the league, and it's not like starting Thompson would help the Cavs pick up a win against the Golden State Warriors tonight. I mean, let's be real. Zizic has scored more than 20.0 DraftKings points in nine of the 10 starts in which he's seen over 30 minutes of run, which he eclipsed last night.

Look, you're obviously taking a risk here, but it's calculated one. We have Zizic projected as the best value play of the night, returning over 6.9 DraftKings points per $1,000.
