Dwight Powell, PF/C, Dallas Mavericks

DraftKings Salary: $4,500

The Dallas Mavericks have moved Dwight Powell into the starting lineup lately, which has led to per-game averages of 27.1 minutes and 24.6 DraftKings points for Powell over the past four. With a lot of injuries on tonight's slate, many DFS players will focus on fill-in options, which may leave Powell overlooked.

Powell needs just 22.5 DraftKings points to hit value -- 5 points per every $1,000 in salary -- at this price tag, which he has come close to averaging in three meetings with the Golden State Warriors as a bench player. He averaged a touch more than 23 minutes in those games, and it would make sense for him to see an expanded role again, as he fits the uptempo nature of the game much better than Maxi Kleber.

Powell isn't a cash-game option, but he has the upside to be an intriguing under-owned tournament value.
