Bradley Beal, SG, Washington Wizards

DraftKings Salary: $7,900

The Washington Wizards will be without the services of John Wall for the foreseeable future, which means Bradley Beal and Tim Frazier ($4,100) will lead the backcourt tonight against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Predictably, it has been Beal who has seen the largest boost without Wall, as he has maintained an elite 37.2% usage rate in 173 minutes in this situation. For reference, James Harden leads the league with a 36.3% usage rate.

In his most recent game with Wall out of the picture, Beal put up 45.75 DraftKings points in a tough matchup against the Portland Trail Blazers. He'll look to replicate that performance tonight, as his price tag indicates that he'll need 39.5 DraftKings points to reach five-times his salary-implied value.

While the individual matchup against Jimmy Butler is far from ideal, the Wolves as a whole have been dreadful defensively. They rank 25th in defensive efficiency and this game's over/under sits at 213 points, which is currently tied for the highest on the slate. If stacking this game, Beal is a must-have. Even if not, he is viable in all formats on a five-game slate.
