Hassan Whiteside, C, Miami Heat

DraftKings Salary: $8,400

Hassan Whiteside has been dominant recently, averaging 46.2 DraftKings points over his past four games. He topped 45 DraftKings points in all but one of those games, with the only exception coming on the back end of a back-to-back in which the Miami Heat limited him to 24 minutes. Miami hasn't played since Monday, and they don't play again until Saturday, so Whiteside should see 30-plus minutes in this one, assuming the Sacramento Kings keep it within striking distance.

He should continue his excellent play of late, as the Kings rank third-to-last against the center position this season. They're 28th in rebounding rate and have no answer for Whiteside on the glass. The blowout risk makes Whiteside a bit dangerous if you're playing cash games on this four-game slate. However, his upside is through the roof in this matchup if the game remains competitive.
