4. Courtney Lee, New York Knicks

Like Kilpatrick, Courtney Lee has been playing through a sticky situation, even if the New York Knicks' situation is generally dissimilar from that of their in-state neighbors.

Along with that, Lee is similar to Kilpatrick because they can both be frustratingly inconsistent. The shooting guard has 5 games with fewer than 10 FDP this season to go along with 25 games of 20-plus FDP to go along with hitting 5.5 FDP per $1,000 19 times.

For a cheap player like Lee -- with a salary range of $3,500 to $4,800 -- that's not a bad dart throw in tournaments. Surely, his 1.5 threes and 10.3 points per game have a lot to say about him as a DFS option.

In summary, he's been worthy of a tournament spot in a little over one-third of his games. He's actually tied with the next player on this list, but has a much lower tournament-to-cash ratio (19 games at 5.5 FDP per $1,000, but just 28 at at least 4.5 FDP per $1,000).
