Mavericks Value
With the Mavericks having a tendency to rest their stars on Saturdays and the current injury situation, it’s a perfect opportunity to stack up on Mavericks players.
Josh Green: With Luka Doncic and Christian Wood out, Josh Green, along with SF Tim Hardaway Jr. ($5,400) and SF/PF Reggie Bullock ($3,400), is expected to play north of 30 minutes, possibly even 40 minutes. Their usage rates will be at season-highs, making Green a great pick for this slate.
Jaden Hardy: With multiple players out, the Mavericks are expected to be the focus of the slate. This is a paced-up spot for the Mavericks, and Hardy is expected to see major minute and usage rate increases.
Dorian Finney-Smith: The Mavericks are short-handed, and this is a paced-up contest. In his last 10 games, Finney-Smith has averaged 25.6 DKFP across 34.2 MPG, with an average return of 6.2x. In his last four games, he has been the value pick of the night with returns of 7.1x, 3.9x, 7.9x, and 10x. With Luka Doncic out, Finney-Smith is expected to handle a large workload and is one of the top values on this slate.
Dwight Powell: Powell is expected to step into a playmaking role with multiple players out. Although he’s not a high-upside center, this is a paced-up contest, and the Warriors could rest players, making Powell a possible value pick. However, it’s important to note that Powell and the low capacity Mavericks have disappointed in the past.
These players are all expected to see major minute and usage rate increases, making them valuable picks for this slate.
