Jordan Clarkson is a great NBA DFS value pick. The 28-year-old has been nothing but efficient on the offensive end of the floor for the Utah Jazz this season.
Clarkson is averaging a career-high 17.4 points a game on an unexpected field goal rating of 59.6% through the first 16 games.
Look for Clarkson to continue his high percentage scoring, as he seems to have found his role with the Jazz and gained the trust of his coach, Quin Snyder.

FD- $5600 DK - $6200 | Opponent - LA Clippers | Proj Pts FD - 25.6 DK - 25.2 | Value FD - 4.6x DK - 4.1x
De'Andre Hunter is an excellent value pick at the Small Forward position as he prepares to face off against the LA Clippers. The fourth overall draft pick in the 2019 NBA draft is coming off a career-high night, where he dropped 33 points against the Milwaukee Bucks.
Hunter ranks number one out of all second-year players in total points added, placing him ahead of Zion Williamson, via NBAmath.com.

Cousins displayed a vintage performance in his last outing scoring 28 points and collecting 17 boards.
