Ersan Ilyasova, PF/C, Milwaukee Bucks

DraftKings Price: $3,400

Milwaukee Bucks superstar forward Giannis Antetokounmpo is doubtful for tonight's game against the Chicago Bulls. As such, there are two likely candidates to step in and start for him: Nikola Mirotic and Ersan Ilyasova.

No matter who gets the start, however, both players should see a big uptick in minutes from their normal allotment tonight. Given their salaries, however, the one with the highest potential return on investment tonight is Ilyasova, who comes in with just a $3,400 salary.

Ilyasova -- coming off a solid 13-point, 7-board performance in just 20 minutes against the Minnesota Timberwolves -- has started three times for the Bucks this season, putting up an average of 29.0 DraftKings points in those games. If he does get the nod, he's a must in your lineups, but he's a solid bet regardless of his status. Check numberFire's projections throughout the day; if and when Giannis is ruled out, Ersan's projections should skyrocket.
