DeMar DeRozan, SG/SF, Toronto Raptors

DraftKings Salary: $9,100

DeMar DeRozan has also stepped into a larger role with a star teammate down, as Kyle Lowry has sat out the past three games with a tailbone injury. He is again questionable for tonight, and if he sits, DeRozan would be a tough fade candidate at this price.

DeRozan has an insane 40.5% usage rate and is averaging 1.45 DraftKings points per minute without Lowry on the floor this season. He is also coming off a 51.75-DraftKings-point performance his last time out, and it's worth noting that he's averaged 47.4 DraftKings points in three meetings with the Philadelphia 76ers this season, all three of which Lowry suited up for.

If we get word that Lowry is out, DeRozan is close to a must-play, especially if you are playing the early-only slate. If Lowry suits up, DeRozan is still a fine tournament play at a price tag that requires just 45.5 DraftKings points of him.
