John Wall, PG, Washington Wizards

DraftKings Salary: $10,100

The assists are always going to be there for John Wall. What has been really exciting about his first two games is his increased aggressiveness in looking for his own shot. He's found his way to the free throw line 20 times in two games, while upping his shot attempts and usage rate from 18.4 per game and 30.6% last season to 20 per game and 34.4% this season.

With that increased usage, Wall could really go bananas in this fast-paced game. The Washington Wizards and Denver Nuggets will face off in the game with the highest over/under (222.5 points) by 8 points, so this one should yield tons of fantasy goodness.

To make the outlook even brighter for Wall, Denver appears to be going back to Emmanuel Mudiay more at point guard, playing him 28 minutes in their last game, as opposed to Jamal Murray's 19 minutes. Mudiay is a clear defensive liability, ranking 69th among 76 point guards last season in defensive real plus-minus.

It won't be easy to fit in both Wall and Antetokounmpo, but the thought of fading either is a scary proposition on this slate.
