Kyle O'Quinn, PF/C, New York Knicks

DraftKings Salary: $4,400

The most obvious source of value on this slate is the New York Knicks' frontcourt, as New York is without both Enes Kanter and Kristaps Porzingis. They even traded Guillermo Hernangomez earlier this week, freeing up even more playing time for the remaining bigs.

The two standout plays are Kyle O'Quinn and Michael Beasley ($6,300), both of whom have averaged well over a DraftKings point per minute without Kanter and Porzingis on the floor this season. O'Quinn sits at 1.16 DraftKings points per minute in that split. At that level of efficiency, he would need just 19 minutes to hit the 22 DraftKings points required of him to hit value at this price tag.

Given the current state of New York's depth chart, it is tough to envision a scenario in which O'Quinn doesn't see at least 22 minutes. He is a lock for both cash games and tournaments at this price tag.
