Cory Joseph, PG, Indiana Pacers

Price: $3,300

While Cory Joseph is listed as questionable for tonight, he's been playing through this thigh injury, so there doesn't seem to be a big risk he sits here. That being said, make sure you double-check his status closer to lock.

Assuming he suits up, he's in a great spot against the Phoenix Suns, and the Indiana Pacers' 115-point implied total is the third-highest on the slate. Ranking a lowly 28th in defensive rating, the Suns are allowing the sixth-most DraftKings points per game to opposing point guards.

Cory Joe needs only 16.5 fantasy points to return 5-times value (5 points per every $1,000 in cost) on this salary, and that's a mark he has hit in 14 of his last 20 games. He's showing some decent upside, as well, with two games of 30-plus fantasy points in that stretch, but his real appeal tonight comes from the solid floor he offers in a plus matchup.
