Alec Burks, PG/SG, Utah Jazz

DraftKings Salary: $4,500

As the Utah Jazz continue dealing with injuries to several key bench players, Alec Burks has stepped up in a big way over the past week, averaging 43.4 DraftKings points in his past three games. That clearly destroys value at his price tag, and if Rodney Hood misses again tonight, Burks is a near must-play on a three-game slate.

Burks has shot a ridiculous 63.8% from the floor and 50% from three during that time, which isn't sustainable. However, his 29.3 minutes and 28.4% usage rate during that time are strong indicators of fantasy goodness. Keep an eye on Hood's status leading up to lineup lock, because if he misses, Burks is a strong bet to reach the 22.5 DraftKings points that his salary requires of him.
