Caris LeVert, PG/SF, Brooklyn Nets

DraftKings Salary: $5,000

Caris LeVert comes at a $1,000 discount on DraftKings, as he is priced all the way up to $6,000 on FanDuel today. That may seem expensive, but LeVert has been paying it off recently, averaging 32.9 DraftKings points in 27.7 minutes over his past five games.

He has the potential to see more minutes tonight, as Allen Crabbe is questionable for this game with an illness. Crabbe is averaging just over 29 minutes over his past five games, and any additional playing time that LeVert can get is extremely valuable, considering his 0.98 DraftKings point per minute rate.

LeVert stands out as the top value according to our projections, and is one of the strongest tournament plays on the board at a price tag that requires just 25 DraftKings points of him. If Crabbe ends up sitting, LeVert becomes a strong play in any format. Otherwise, he is more of a tournament salary saver, due to the volatility that comes with his role as a bench scorer for one of the teams with the lowest implied totals on the slate.
