Julius Randle, PF/C, Los Angeles Lakers

DraftKings Salary: $7,800

With Larry Nance Jr. traded, Julius Randle has consistently playing over 30 minutes a night for the Los Angeles Lakers, and with both Brandon Ingram and Josh Hart out, Los Angeles has a very short-handed rotation. As a result, we could see Randle push for near 35 minutes, as their usual backup power forward, Kyle Kuzma, plays more of his minutes at the three. Randle has produced at a very efficient 1.19 DraftKings points per minute on the year, which is actually up to 1.27 with Ingram off the floor.

That type of efficiency combined with heavy minutes is a recipe for success, as Randle has showcased recently. He's topped 35 DraftKings in seven straight games, during which he has averaged 41.7 DraftKings points.

To top it all off, Randle and the Lakers have the highest implied team total on the slate in an advantageous home matchup against the Orlando Magic. It is rare to see a short-handed team with such a lofty game script, so definitely get some exposure to Los Angeles.
