NBA DFS: Max Strus among top DraftKings value plays for Monday

Week 2 of the 2022-23 NBA season will begin with an eight-game main slate on Monday. Tip-off times will range from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. ET, and there are tons of quality DraftKings options at different price points ahead of the action. We've provided an in-depth breakdown of some of the best targets at each position below.

Ameer Tyree got his start in NBA DFS over four years ago. The former DraftKings Nation betting and fantasy writer spent over a year and a half breaking down basketball slates to build optimal lineups there. He identified Jrue Holiday as his favorite variance play on Saturday. Holiday notched 19 points, 10 assists, and five rebounds to yield nearly 50 DraftKings points. Now Ameer's turned his attention to another under-the-radar player.

One value play Ameer loves: Max Strus. "It's certainly interesting to see a 6'5" sharpshooter like Max Strus listed as a power forward, but that's what the Heat have been forced to do following the departure of PJ Tucker. Caleb Martin and Nikola Jovic have been suspended for a game because of an altercation on Saturday, and that opens up minutes for Strus to shine." Ameer says about the matchup.
