T.J. McConnell, PG, Philadelphia 76ers

DraftKings Salary: $4,600

T.J. McConnell's value is tied to the status of Ben Simmons, who is now dealing with an ankle injury in addition to his elbow issue. Simmons is listed as a game time decision, but with this being the first of a back-to-back tilt, it would be quite surprising to see Simmons suit up. If he sits, McConnell would presumably step into the starting lineup again, as he did when Simmons sat against the Orlando Magic on Saturday. In case you took the weekend off, McConnell dropped 52.75 DraftKings points in that start.

When given the opportunity, we have seen McConnell be an exceptional value in daily fantasy. He needs just 23 DraftKings points to reach five-times his salary implied value at this price, which seems like a lock if Simmons sits -- especially in a head-to-head matchup against Tim Frazier, who is a clear downgrade defensively from John Wall. Keep an eye out for news leading up to tipoff, but more than likely, you will be forced to just roll the dice and hope McConnell draws the start.
