DeMarre Carroll, SF/PF, Brooklyn Nets

DraftKings Salary: $5,900

DeMarre Carroll is one of the few Brooklyn Nets players who has seen consistent playing time, averaging 35.6 DraftKings points in 29.5 minutes over the past five games. His matchup against the Charlotte Hornets is less than ideal, but it is tough to fade him at this price on a five-game slate.

Carroll only needs 29.5 DraftKings points to reach five-times value, which he has reached in nine of his past 10 games. In fact, his five-times hit rate over the past month is a full 23% higher than the next-highest player on this slate. It's not even close. Carroll is simply way too cheap given his recent form.

There's not a ton of obvious values tonight, so if you're attempting to fit in someone like Russell Westbrook, you're going to have to save salary anywhere you can. A start in doing so is paying under $6,000 for someone with the 30-plus point upside that Carroll possesses. He is a viable play in any format at this price tag.
