Bam Adebayo, PF/C, Miami Heat

DraftKings Salary: $4,700

The Miami Heat are very banged up heading into this one, as Kelly Olynyk and Justise Winslow are both doubtful and Wayne Ellington is questionable. As a result, we could see Bam Adebayo thrust into a larger role again.

Even with all the injuries, you probably shouldn't expect 30-plus minutes from Adebayo, as Miami has preferred to play him at center for the marjority of his time on the floor. Unless something happens to Hassan Whiteside, his minutes are somewhat capped. With that said, we could see him play more center, as head coach Spoelstra often gets frustrated with Whiteside's inability to get out and contest against teams that play smaller, like the Houston Rockets.

Adebayo has gone for 35-plus in two of his past three games, which is unique upside for someone at this price point. In an up-tempo matchup that fits his style of play better than Miami's other post players, he could definitely exceed value once again.
