Yogi Ferrell, PG/SG, Dallas Mavericks

DraftKings Salary: $4,500

Yogi Ferrell has been on fire for the Dallas Mavericks recently, averaging 32.8 DraftKings points in 37.3 minutes over his past three games. With Jose Juan Barea sitting out tonight's game, Ferrell's minutes should be even more secure.

On a slate somewhat devoid of obvious value plays, Ferrell stands out. He is sure to be one of the most popular plays on the slate at a price tag that requires just 22.5 DraftKings points of him. The advantageous matchup against the Denver Nuggets is just a bonus. Denver has struggled against guards for years, and this season has been no different, as they rank in the bottom-10 in DraftKings points allowed to the position.

It is worth noting that Ferrell has produced just 0.70 DraftKings per minute this season, so his string of 30-plus DraftKings points is sure to come to an end. Considering how high his ownership is going to be tonight, it is worth thinking about fading Ferrell in large-field tournaments. However, in any cash-game format or even single-entry tournaments, it is tough to envision not beginning your lineup construction with Ferrell at this price.
