Dennis Schroder, PG, Atlanta Hawks

DraftKings Salary: $7,500

DraftKings finally bumped Dennis Schroder's price after a week of leaving him as one of the most obvious values out there. Even with a pair of less than ideal matchups against the Celtics and San Antonio Spurs, Schroder averaged 38.5 DraftKings points during that four-game stretch. He posted a dud this weekend in limited playing time in a 34-point blowout loss. Outside of the occasional blowout, Schroder has been excellent this season, thanks in large part to his top-15 usage rate.

Even with his salary spike, Schroder needs just 37.5 DraftKings points to reach five-times his salary implied value. In Atlanta Hawks games that have been decided by less than 15 points, Schroder has averaged 38.2 DraftKings points. One of those games was a 43.3-point performance against the very same Cleveland Cavaliers team he faces tonight.

That shouldn't come as much of a surprise, as Cleveland ranks 26th in defensive efficiency. They're actually tied with Atlanta, who also struggles mightily on the defensive end of the floor. As a result, Vegas sees this one as being high scoring, projecting it for the highest over/under on the slate by 5 points. It is clearly the game to attack, and there may not be a stronger play in it than Schroder.
