Jarrett Allen, PF/C, Brooklyn Nets

DraftKings Salary: $4,900

Jarrett Allen has been predictably volatile in his age-19 season, but the rookie big man has flashed plenty of potential in his time as a starter. He's averaged 29.3 DraftKings points in 25.5 minutes in three games following the All-Star Break, and Allen has averaged 27.9 DraftKings points over the past month. He has frustratingly only cracked 30 minutes once during that span, but that hasn't stopped him from putting up some big games -- with totals of 32.25, 37.75, 39, and 46.5 DraftKings points during that stretch.

The matchup doesn't get much juicier than this, either, as the Sacramento Kings have allowed the fourth-most DraftKings points per game to opposing centers and have the league's third-worst rebounding rate.

Allen's floor is scary, but lately he has averaged well over the 24.5 DraftKings points needed of him at this price. He is an intriguing salary-saving option in tournaments in a great matchup against the Kings.
