J.J. Barea, PG/SG, Dallas Mavericks

DraftKings Salary: $5,000

Jose Juan Barea is someone that generally gets overlooked if Dennis Smith is healthy, but he has quietly been crushing value for some time now. He needs just 25 DraftKings points to do so again tonight at this price, which he has reached or come within two points of in each of his past 13 games. He's averaged 28.9 DraftKings points over the past two weeks, and should be able to keep his recent hot streak going in an pace-up game against the Indiana Pacers.

Indiana ranks 12th in pace of play and 20th in defensive efficiency, and could be without their best perimeter defender in Victor Oladipo. Barea should thrive in this uptempo matchup and is a viable play in any format. Also, if Oladipo does sit, Lance Stephenson ($4,300) would step in as a strong value play on the other side of the ball (and this game would become a lot more stackable).
