Jaylen Brown, SG/SF, Boston Celtics

DraftKings Salary: $3,900

Jaylen Brown and rookie Jayson Tatum ($4,100) stood out as the clear top value plays on last night's slate, and they did not disappoint. Brown finished with 36 DraftKings points in 39 minutes, while Tatum dropped 32.5 DraftKings points in 36 minutes in his NBA debut. With Gordon Hayward and Marcus Morris both out, the two Boston Celtics youngsters stand out as terrific values once again.

Of the two, Brown looked like the clear aggressor, while Tatum's game looked a lot smoother after he got past his early-game jitters. Brown posted a team-leading 29.3% usage rate, as opposed to Tatum's 15.7% mark. Brown attempted 23 shots and was active on the defensive end as well, with 3 steals. He will probably continue to fill a large role for Boston -- one that will likely lead to a fair share of missed shots and turnovers, but plenty of cheap DraftKings points.
