Dennis Schroder, PG, Oklahoma City Thunder

DraftKings Price: $5,800

Oklahoma City guard Dennis Schroder may not be priced like your traditional value play, but he certainly has the opportunity to return solid value tonight.

The Thunder head to Brooklyn to take on the Nets in a game with a total set at 220 points. Schroder should be heavily involved on offense as he always is, and it's somewhat confounding to see his salary remain below the $6,000 mark.

Sure, he put up just 11.5 DraftKings points three games ago against the Cleveland Cavaliers, but that was one of just a handful of duds all season. He's coming off back-to-back 30-plus DraftKings point games, and there is no reason to think he can't flirt with that number again tonight (he's averaging 28.8 DraftKings points when coming off the bench this season).

Our models have him projected for 35.2 DraftKings points this evening. His resulting value of nearly 6.1 DraftKings points per $1,000 is the highest projected value for any player with a salary over $5,000.
