Al Jefferson, PF/C, Indiana Pacers

DraftKings Salary: $4,300

We could get a bizarre throwback matchup here between Al Jefferson and Brook Lopez with Domantas Sabonis out and Myles Turner questionable for the Indiana Pacers. Big Al came on strong in relief of Turner last Thursday, putting up 43.5 DraftKings points in 25 minutes after Turner left the game. He then came one rebound short of a double-double in his first start of the season, finishing with 28.25 DraftKings points in 26 minutes on Saturday.

Jefferson has a very strong mark of 1.13 DraftKings points per minute on the year, so if he is going to see around 25 minutes again, he is a lock-and-load play against the Los Angeles Lakers. His price tag requires just 21.5 DraftKings points of him, and at 1.13 DraftKings points per minute, he would hit that in just 19 minutes at his season-long rate of production.

Keep an eye on the injury news, because if Turner is out again, Big Al is a superb play in any format.
