NBA Draftkings – top value power forwards

Nicolo Melli vs. Portland Trailblazers ($4,400)

Another young star that has seen an increase in minutes recently is in a great matchup versus the Portland Trailblazers. He has put up 27.8 and 28.8 fantasy points in his last two games against the Miami Heat and Golden State Warriors. Melli is holding a usage rate of 16% while averaging six points, three rebounds, and one assist per game while averaging 15 minutes. He also averaging .86 fantasy points per minute, but this game screams perfect.

The Portland Trailblazers are giving up the second most fantasy points to the power forward position with 55.03 per game. The Trailblazers are also giving up a double double stat line to the position with 24 points, 12 rebounds, and four assists per game. For a low cost price of $4,400, it’s very hard to pass up on Nicolo Melli tonight.

Nassir Little vs. New Orleans Pelicans ($3,500)

Another great matchup, but in a more risky spot, is Nassir Little. He gets to face the New Orleans Pelicans. Nassir is nothing to be excited about, but is averaging 17 minutes per game while averaging four points and three rebounds. He also holds a usage rate of 16% and just a low .51 fantasy points per minute. The Trailblazers also average 107 possessions per game while the Pelicans sit at 108 possessions which means we should see some more opportunities on both ends.

The New Orleans Pelicans are another team to attack,especially at the power forward position. They are currently allowing opposing power forwards to average 24 points, 12 rebounds and four assists while also giving up 49.27 fantasy points per game. Like I mentioned already though, this is a risky play, but Nassir Little can easily return and exceed his value on this small four game slate.
