Julius Randle, PF/C, Los Angeles Lakers

DraftKings Salary: $8,200

A tough on-paper matchup against the Miami Heat could keep people off of Julius Randle today, but this could very well be a smash spot for the surging young big. With Hassan Whiteside sidelined, the Heat have been fairly susceptible to opposing bigs, allowing a combined 75.5 DraftKings points to Willie Cauley-Stein and Zach Randolph in their last game and 57.5 to Jusuf Nurkic the game before that.

Even with Whiteside in the lineup, Randle put up 38.5 DraftKings on Miami a couple weeks ago. He's averaged 41.8 DraftKings points in the seven games since then, including 50.8 over his past three. That type of production is more than enough at this price tag and is part of the reason our projections have Randle as the strongest value among any player priced above $6,500. Look for him to take advantage of Miami's shorthanded frontcourt tonight.
