Isaiah Thomas, PG/SG, Los Angeles Lakers

DraftKings Salary: $5,800

For all his defensive deficiencies, Isaiah Thomas looked pretty effective on the offensive end in his first game for the Los Angeles Lakers. He put up 33.25 DraftKings points in 31 minutes in that one, and should be looking at similar playing time tonight. He was ejected from last night's game after only five minutes, but should be good to go for this matchup.

Our projections list Thomas as the best value on tonight's two-game slate, projecting him for 31.9 DraftKings points in 32.5 minutes. If he sees 30-plus minutes again, he could definitely exceed value at this price tag. Even as part of a Cleveland Cavaliers team that he clearly didn't fit with, Thomas was able to average 0.95 DraftKings points per minute. He should have no issues putting up numbers against a Wolves team ranked 26th in defensive efficiency and 21st in DraftKings points allowed to opposing point guards.
