Derrick Favors, PF/C, Utah Jazz

DraftKings Price: $4,400

The Utah Jazz shook things up a bit the other day by starting Jae Crowder at power forward instead of Derrick Favors. Favors played just 18 minutes in that game against the Miami Heat, his lowest total of the season.

While that could certainly happen again, there is certainly an argument to be made to get a bigger body on the court more often tonight when the Jazz take on LaMarcus Aldridge and the San Antonio Spurs.

Even if he's not able to work his way into the starting lineup, Favors' price and efficiency make him attractive even as a sparsely-used bench player. Averaging just under 1.1 DraftKings points per minute this season, Favors could still easily flirt with a value of five DraftKings points per $1,000 or more.

He's scored at least 22 DraftKings points in each of his past four matchups against the Spurs. Our models project him to finish with 26.5 DraftKings points tonight, giving him the third-highest projected value of the slate.
