Jayson Tatum, SF/PF, Boston Celtics
DraftKings Price: $5,800
A lot of the low-priced value plays this evening involve quite a lot of risk. Without many clear options, you might be considering finding value in more mid-priced plays. One such player in this category is Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum.
Tatum, shockingly, comes into tonight's contest with just a $5,800 salary. Despite scoring 30-plus DraftKings points in four of his past six games -- including 44.75 in his last outing against the Cleveland Cavaliers -- his price has climbed just $200 in that span.
He's in an excellent position to top 30 DraftKings points again tonight as the Celtics host the Los Angeles Lakers in a game that could be a fantasy bonanza. The game has a total set at 227.0 points, second-highest on tonight's six-game slate. We currently project him to finish with 30.5 DraftKings points this evening, which would equate to a return of nearly 5.3 points per $1,000.
