Serge Ibaka, PF/C, Toronto Raptors

DraftKings Salary: $5,700

Serge Ibaka continues to be a very appealing play every time out on DraftKings, where they refuse to price him up. At this salary, Ibaka needs just 28.5 DraftKings points to hit 5 points per every $1,000 in salary. He's reached that number in 12 of his past 15 games, including 3 of the last 4.

One such game was a 33-DraftKings-point performance against the Brooklyn Nets, the team he takes on tonight. Ibaka was well on his way to a double-double in that game, and he could have posted a much larger total if not for the blowout nature of the contest.

Ibaka will do battle with the Nets again tonight in what is expected to be a more tightly-contested game. With this game taking place in Brooklyn, there is just a 7.5-point spread, so Ibaka should be looking at his full complement of minutes. Assuming that is the case, he should have no problem once again being productive against the Nets' soft frontcourt.
