Kyle Kuzma, SF/PF, Los Angeles Lakers

DraftKings Salary: $4,700

If you haven't gotten on the Kyle Kuzma bandwagon yet, this might be your last chance to find an open spot. The rookie has been phenomonal thus far, shooting 54% from the floor and knocking down a three in every game since the opener. He combines the ability to stretch the floor with athleticism that allows him to seemingly get to the rim at will. He got a bit banged up in last Saturday's game, but has looked excellent in two games since, scoring 57.25 DraftKings points in 49 minutes of action.

He posted a 32.8% usage rate off the bench last night, a career-high for the first-round pick. While he comes off the bench, Kuzma is always part of Luke Walton's lineup during crunch time, and with Larry Nance Jr. breaking his thumb last night, Kuzma should see even more action. He, Brook Lopez ($5,900) and Julius Randle ($4,700) all stand to see an uptick in playing time going forward, and all are intriguing plays against a Brooklyn Nets squad ranked first in pace and 27th in defensive efficiency.
