Nemanja Bjelica, SF/PF, Minnesota Timberwolves

DraftKings Salary: $3,000

Nemanja Bjelica stepped into a starting role for the Minnesota Timberwolves this weekend with both Jimmy Butler and Jamal Crawford watching from the sidelines. He played 26 minutes and put up 19.5 DraftKings points, which is right in line with his season average of 0.80 DraftKings points per minute. With both shooting guards again out for Minnesota tonight, Bjelica and Marcus Georges-Hunt should find themselves looking at big minutes.

Bjelica has more of a track record in the league and has been much more efficient with his minutes this season, so he's the preferable min-price punt play of the two, but both could definitely crush value at their salaries. Jeff Teague ($5,700) stands out as possibly the best tournament value of the guards without Butler, but Bjelica is your man if looking for absolute punt plays to open up salary for some of the studs on this slate.
